is this new logo for edge chromium?
Update (11/4):
Trade media articles suggest (as others in this thread have also suggested) that the design evokes surf -- ocean colors, wave shape, and so on -- and if that was the intent, the design does a very good job in that respect while maintaining a hint of "e".
Whatever was intended, the new logo is and will be the Edge logo going forward. It works well in many dimensions, and that is the defining characteristic of a good logo.
Original Comment (11/3):
My guess is that the meld between "c" and "e" is intentional, and tied into Microsoft's marketing plan.
I think that it is well done, even if my first nanosecond reaction was "a blue and green garden slug". It took me a second or two to see the logo for what it is, and it is a clever meld. I think that the logo conveys the Edge-Chromium message with panache.
But if you are concerned that the logo looks too much like a "c" rather than a "e", all that has to be done to correct that is to extend the middle loop a bit further. That would nudge it in the direction of an "e" while keeping the meld intact.
Deleted As heir of Internet Explorer and Edge, it looks terrible and lost it's strict and definitive style, you even hardly can see e in this logo. But when you put it in play store it becomes not great, not terrible. Similar to Firefox and Opera. And I guess it was designed for this purpose.
KangjunHeo Considering a strange recent loan from Google Material in MS Fluent, when Acryl, Reveal Highlight and Borders removing from the apps and replacing with some ugly inconsistent solution often with round corners, we have no power there. Some guys in MS decided In order to defeat Android, you must look like Android.
SpoilerWin10x doesn't have Start menu it's Launcher now.I guess new logo was designed as a sing that new edge is less corporate and more "fun" for the new users and this is pretty reasonable but disappointingly for die-hard edge users who liked it's minimalistic and slick look even with freaking out technical features. New logo inherited nothing when nobody asked about that. Ironically people asked about radical re-design many years ago because Edge's logo was similar to notorious Internet Explorer.
