Found via winfuture.de:

Since yesterday Chromium features a new logo and icon. Screenshots:

Commit entry in the Chromium versioning control system

I'm guessing the Google Chrome icon will see a similar re-design soon.

What do you think of the new logo and icon?

I like it... I liked the old one too, but this one actually evokes more of a "chrome" image in my mind. Maybe because my motorcycle is primarily chrome and steel blue :D

I like it because it looks so clean and fits nicely with chrome's minimalistic look.

I don't like it, too plain. Anyway, everything would be better than the current one if devs put in the high-res version.

The smaller triangle's (at the bottom) blue shade looks too similar to the bigger one left of it which kinda looks weird, but this is just from my laptop screen which washes some shades out.

I like it! It looks really nice actually. It projects a sleek look even before you open your browser. That being said, I liked the Chromium logo in particular due to the more muted blue colors.

Apparently Chromium is now made by Aperture Science.

It looks great, but just not quiet as well as the current logo. The current logo is shiny and just looks awesome! :D
