Primary colors arranged geometrically has been a thing since Office 95, predating Google: http://logos.wikia.com/wiki/Microsoft_Office http://logos.wikia.com/wiki/Microsoft_Office Since then, variations on the theme have been heavily reused for all kinds of logos.
- stanmancan 10y agoI wasn't just referencing the colours, but the shape is super similar too.
- biot 10y agoYeah, by "variations on the theme" I was referring to all kinds of shapes and arrangements, like in a square, circle, triangle, dots orbiting each other, ribbons, and so on. Just like the "thing with a swoosh/crescent" trend back in the 90s (to go along with company names ending in "ent"), logos with RYGB primary colors in all kinds of geometric patterns were a thing too. Logos for Google products like Chrome, Web, Apps, etc. are yet more iterations on an existing trend.
- stanmancan 10y agoMy argument is more for the fact that these two logos in particular seems pretty close. I'd be willing to put money that my parents wouldn't notice the difference if you swapped the sharex logo out for the chrome logo. https://getsharex.com/favicon.ico https://getsharex.com/favicon.ico https://www.google.com/images/icons/product/chrome-48.png https://www.google.com/images/icons/product/chrome-48.png
