How to Revert the Old Google Chrome Icon from the New Chrome Logo

Early this morning while browsing the internet using my favorite web browser, Google Chrome, I noticed that my Google Chrome icon has changed to a new one. The new Google Chrome icon looks more simple and looks like a 2D version of the old Chromium logo. How about yours? Did your Google Chrome browser logo already changed?

I made some research and here’s what I found about this new icon/logo of Google Chrome. An article was posted entitled “A fresh take on an icon” on the Google Chrome blog and here are some of it.

Since Chrome is all about making your web experience as easy and clutter-free as possible, we refreshed the Chrome icon to better represent these sentiments. A simpler icon embodies the Chrome spirit — to make the web quicker, lighter, and easier for all.
Even before this effort, the new version of the Chrome logo was already being conjured up by Googlers and Chrome fans. Numerous creative reinterpretations have organically moved the icon towards simplicity and abstraction, so it felt right to make the icon structure cleaner and easier to recreate.

Honestly, I like the Old Chrome Icon over the new one that’s why I looked for a way on how can I revert the Old Chrome Icon from the new Chrome Logo. Here’s what I did in order to achieve it.

1. Right Click on the New Chrome logo and select Properties.

2.  On the Properties window, click Change Icon and a new window will appear.

3. Click on Browse. A file explorer window will appear containing “chrome.exe” and “old_chrome.exe”.

4. Choose the “old_chrome.exe” , notice that the list of icon will change and the old glossy 3D Google Chrome Icon is available.

5. Hit Ok and then Apply. And that’s it, you successfully revert your new Chrome icon to the old Chrome Icon.

If this above instructions didn’t work for you, try downloading this Google Chrome Icon – Download. Extract the icon on the desired location and then do step 1-3 but browsing on the location where you extracted the icon. Hit Ok and Apply and you are good to go.
