On the whole, it’s a change that most people won’t notice, and that’s probably just fine. Meanwhile, the Mac version comes out of left field with a slightly 3D icon that somewhat matches native Apple icons. Per Hu, on Windows 11, the logo has a more graduated look to match the OS’ aesthetic.īut on Chrome OS, the colors are more solid, because that’s the way Google’s design leans these days. Google is actually making the logo subtly different for various platforms in order to better blend with their individual aesthetics. There’s a slight gradient on the colors because “placing certain shades of green and red next to each other created an unpleasant color vibration.”ĭesign is about the details, after all.The proportions are different, making the big blue ball in the middle noticeably bigger.The colors are brighter, making that fancy screen of yours pop.The icon has been simplified/flattened by removing the shadows.Here’s what’s officially changed, according to Google designer Elvin Hu. Now’s your last chance: can you spot the differences? Instead, the new logo will probably just give some people that weird “hmm, something’s different” feeling, like when Spotify changed its shade of green and people revolted, presumably including Neil Young. Google probably doesn’t want people to panic when they suddenly can’t find their browser because of some newfangled logo. The Chrome logo is pretty iconic, and everyone knows what it is.

As such, you may want to be patient because your system might be acting a little slower than usual when it comes to a system application. Updating system applications is often a bit more complicated for the system than installing or updating third-party applications. Give it time, be patientĪs mentioned, these two are usually system apps. Linked to this point, you may want to update Android apps individually because sometimes a different app can launch and make you believe that it’s your Web View or Chrome app that isn’t updating. This will ensure that this application is not waiting in line with other applications to update. However, after activating your data, try updating only the Web View application. This will also breathe the Play Store and if it was the failure link in this chain, you should see the stuck updates resume. If this doesn’t work, you may want to repeat the above procedure, but this time, do it for the Google Play Store.
