Finally made a personal website after not having one for 4 years.
Now all I need to do is keep paying for this domain name so that it doesn't get redirected to a gambling site.

Some of you might have noticed a new icon in Chrome’s Canary update today. Yes! we’re refreshing Chrome’s brand icons for the first time in 8 years. The new icons will start to appear across your devices soon.

As many of you noticed, we introduced a new Chrome icon for macOS Big Sur today ✨ The team has also been exploring some further macOS-aligned options (some examples here), and we’re interested in hearing what you think about them 🙏

Fun fact: we also found that placing certain shades of green and red next to each other created an unpleasant color vibration, so we introduced a very subtle gradient to the main icon to mitigate that, making the icon more accessible.

I might be taking this nostalgia thing too far… 😂 Redesigend and rewrote the settings screen to be in the style of iOS 6, still all in

Will anyone be interested in an open-source iOS6-style SwiftUI component library?

We simplified the main brand icon by removing the shadows, refining the proportions and brightening the colors, to align with Google's more modern brand expression.

10 years ago today Steve Jobs announced the original iPad. Happy 10th birthday, iPad! 🎂🎁
I rewrote the iOS 6 simulator to render most of the UI elements in pure SwiftUI code without images (including reflective gradient textures, slide to unlock area, the glass dock, etc.)

Then, we created OS-specific customizations. We want the icons to feel recognizably Chrome, but also well crafted for each OS. For example, on Windows, the icons take on an obviously gradated look, appearing at home on Windows 10 & 11.

The Chrome logo we refreshed two years ago is for somer reason making headlines in Japan today 😆 This reminded me that I had never talked about why we decided to use gradients in this logo...

You might ask, “why bother with sth. so subtle?” We tailor Chrome’s experience to each OS, with features like Native Window Occlusion on Windows, day-one M1 support on macOS, Widgets on iOS/Android, and Material You on Android. We want our brand to convey the same level of care.

On ChromeOS, they use brighter colors without gradients to match the looks of the rest of system icons.

Remember how you could scrub the knob on the switch back and forth on iOS 6? I tried to replicate that behavior with
#SwiftUI
. 🍎
(Left: iPhone 4 running iOS 6
Middle: iPod touch running my app from two days ago
Right: the latest implementation)

The ribbons include many details when viewed at large sizes, but transform into simple badges at small sizes, maintaining their legibility. The letter "B" and "D" representing "Beta" and "Dev" are manually hinted, so they look crisp even at a very small size.

You might also wonder, "did you consider sth. more different?" We did! E.g., we explored introducing more negative space. However, in context, the white required a stroke that shrunk the icon overall, and made it more difficult to recognize, especially next to other Google apps.

あぁ！このロゴの担当者です。シェアしてくれてありがとうございます！☺️ポイントはもう一つがあります😃それは、「視覚的な振動」を減らすことです。赤と緑を隣り合わせると、視覚的な緊張感が生まれやすいです。いろんな色の組み合わせを試して、このデザインの緊張感は一番少ないだと思いました
