This is what I thought of when I saw it:

Yep, since yesterday. I'm fine with the new look, but it's horrible when it's small. Well, it's just a logo anyways.

Beautiful...!!!

[mantequillas]

I quite like it ...

I like it. The old one was way too glossy like something rendered with the unreal engine with bloom on full blast.

Just upgraded and I love it! Looks great on the Windows 7 Superbar!

I know everyone loves it, and while I love Chrome, I hate the new icon! Noticed it this morning and thought I was going crazy because I couldn't stop staring at it wondering why it bothered me so much.

So there, I said it. Looks nice with Chromium and Canary, but not Chrome in my opinion. Sorry to be the downer but...

Yeah but they went to the other extreme with this one, it looks like someone threw it together in 3 minutes using the custom shape tool, and it looks horrific at smaller sizes, they didn't even try and make it look good at the win7 superbar size, as you go smaller you need a sharper looking icon. This looks like they did nothing but resize it. The old Icon was a little over glossed/beveled, but this is just awful lol.

I like the new logo after seeing it for the first time a few seconds ago on my own install. Before the icon popped up onto my Superbar I had no idea they were going to overhaul the logo until I found this thread. Like I said, I do like the new logo but I do not like the smaller version of it in the Superbar. The white circle around the blue ball needs more anti-aliasing IMO.

It's neat that the hover colour for the Superbar item has changed from yellow/orange into red.

For whatever reason, the icon on the taskbar is not updating for me even though I have the latest dev build installed and the install files show the new icon.

Edit: I give up...even reinstalling it still puts the old icon in the taskbar.

^Odd. All I was doing was rebooting for a program installation and when I launched Chrome, I saw it's new icon.

[Jen Smith]

I like it personally.. a bit more stylish. The old logo reminds me of one of these...

Edit:Derp, I was looking at the Chromium logo, which is what I use for a secondary.. Google's is still rainbow. My bad.

Are you sure that you're using the dev-builds? The regular version of Chrome doesn't have the icon yet as far as I know.

[Northgrove]

I like the Canary icon much more than before at least!

[devilotX]

Hmm,

Chromium 10.0.648.133 (77742) Built on Ubuntu 10.10, running on LinuxMint 10

Still the old icon, nothing new in the repo's, is this icon windows only at the moment?
