The Inspiration Behind The Logo Design of Google Chrome

The most appropriate i had seen is the Firefox logo which was shown in a picture in flickr!

wow that seems to be a excellent find with the most similar one being the thinkfree office3!

I like google chrome, its very fast, but i will keep my firefox !

Your screen shots are simply awesome.
You are the true leader in this area perticularly.

Hahaha, nice comparison. I particularly liked the idea that Google Chrome’s logo probably came from Pokemon’s Pokeball. lol

seems this blogger has lot of spare time.. i dont agree to any of the figures

Good point, this is what I am looking for… Greate job.

maybe, just maybe, it has something to do with this link

but I’m probably seeing things
*hides*

The logo is based from the original “chromium” (which was an open source browser project)

(They just google coloured it)

Am I wrong?

Wow, so cool screenshots. So similar to ThinkFree Office. I didnt have an ida about that. Thanks for showing the photos.

There is a definite similarity between the ThinkFree installer logo and Chrome logo, however the other illustrations in the post are pretty good too.

haha, the first thing i said when i saw the logo was “so it’s a simon themed pokeball?”

you sir, have way too much time on your hands. Silly Illustrations.

hi Amit, nice post and also your newly designed layout is cool. Chrome is a sign of things to come. It definitely will find its share of devotees especially the not-so-techie types but who recognize Google as a brand name. Being the Firefox user that I am, it would be interesting to know what the Mozilla guys have to say about the new kid on the block.

Very nice post and screenshots.

Good find Kannan.

But there are lots of problem in it, it hangs during browsing many time, there is no option the check PR of website, it have fast browsing, but overall i will say that it is not perfect with SEO point of view.

Your images and imagination are brilliant.

to me the icon looks like windows Media Encoder 9 Series icon . has anyone noticed that?

Funny comparison..

What an intelligent explanation, very nice to hear that so much is behind logos as well.

@Dima Sirotnikov

Chromium is the project behind Google Chrome and has just been started, so Chromium stole Thinkfree’s logo as well…

Well, no one has ideas anymore…

Interesting Amit but I don’t think Google switched the colors to create Chrome logo. For now the battle will continue until Google dominate the browser market like it did with their search engine.

comparison with pokemon is awesome, really !
a true insight :)

They could have tried having CHROME effect on the logo… it would have given a totally different look and feel altogether!

you should also look at this: link

lol. that is a pretty good illustrations of how google chrome logo was designed. Google Chrome has copied most of the codes from firefox and added some new features to it. I for one don’t like google chrome. I don’t know, maybe because I am used to firefox and it extensions.

Mmmmh, I think you all must look at the “eyes” and the lenses of the spying device of the martians in the ancient @War of the Worlds@ movies. There you’ll find another fountain of ïnspiration” for several of these logos and items! lol L. :o)
