Hate to break it to you, but the Milton Bradley ‘Simon’ game (I’m looking at a 1978 Made in the USA version right now) doesn’t look like Chrome at all. HOWEVER, it IS the same pattern and color scheme as Microsoft Windows’ logo, albeit all inverted and jazzified.

Glad somebody other than me saw the resemblance. Simon was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the Chrome icon.

Chrome is a step in the right direction. Many people say Safari is the leader, but compare it to Opera and you will have to think again.

I’ve been thinking for many weeks that the Chrome logo resembles “Simon”. I had Simon in the 1980s and I recognized the similarities immediately. I’m glad to see many others also see it.

there are so many advantages and features with Chrome, such as it’s speed, for example; now if only they would take care it’s flighty cookie management…

Back at Symbolics, circa 1986, the company hired a marketing firm to design a new logo for us. After being paid what I presume was a small fortune, their idea was three overlapping shapes: a square, a circle, and a triangle. After the engineers heard about this, we had a lot of fun finding one corporate logo after another that were almost identical. Coming up with logos is about as hard as coming up with names for software products and companies: very hard to do well.
