We still don’t know what it represents specifically, but, does it remind you of some things? Well, the most obvious reference is the colors. It has 4 different colors, just like the letters in the Google logo: blue, red, yellow and green. Where else do you see them? The game Simon has them, even the general shape, but Chrome’s icon has a more modern look. There are three surrounding colors instead of 4, plus the main circle in the center. A circle has 360 degrees, as circular as the Firefox logo. Google borrowed source code from the creators of Mozilla Firefox. Chrome will also add the ability to use Firefox’s add-ons in the near future.

Now, why does it look like a Pokéball? Ash (Satoshi in Japan) and Google have something in common. Ash’s famous slogan can perhaps explain Google’s goals: Gotta catch’em all. The competition between Google against Microsoft and Yahoo in many different areas is a sign of how powerful the company currently is and wants to be. Besides the search engines, they have instant messengers, e-mails, blogs, video-sharing sites, photo storage, maps, etc. The competition doesn’t seem to end. Last but not least is the webcam. Google may not look at us through our webcams, but it can look at everything we do in their sites and their affiliates’. At least, they protect the users’ privacy more than its competitors do, it seems.

Aún no sabemos que representa específicamente, pero, ¿les recuerda de algunas cosas? Bueno, la referencia más obvia es la de los colores. Tiene 4 diferentes colores, como las letras de Google en el logo: azul, rojo, amarillo y verde. ¿Dónde más se les ve? El juego Simon los tiene, incluso la forma general, pero el ícono de Chrome tiene un look más moderno. Hay tres colores circundantes en vez de 4, más el círculo principal en el centro. Un círculo tiene 360 grados, tan circular como el logo de Firefox. Google pidió prestado código fuente de los creadores de Mozilla Firefox. Chrome también agregará la capacidad de utilizar las add-ons de Firefox en un futuro próximo.

Ahora, ¿por qué se parece a un Pokéball? Ash (Satoshi en Japón) y Google tienen algo en común. El eslogan famoso de Ash puede quizás explicar las metas de Google: Gotta catch’em all (Atrápalos ya). La competición entre Google contra Microsoft y Yahoo en varias áreas diversas es una muestra de qué tan poderosa la compañía actualmente es y quiere ser. Además de los motores de búsqueda, tienen mensajeros inmediatos, email, blogs, sitios de vídeos, almacenaje de foto, mapas, etc. La competición no parece terminar. Por último está el webcam. Google no puede mirarnos a través de nuestras cámaras web, sino que puede mirar todo que hacemos en sus sitios y en los de sus afiliados. Por lo menos, ellos protegen la privacidad de sus usuarios más que la de sus competidores, según parece.
