Did Google Steal Chrome Logo From Windows?

by BonsaiJon on October 30, 2008

I came across this pic which is implying that Google stole the logo idea and colors from Windows.  To be honest I never noticed that the Google logo and Windows logo colors do look a bit a like.  I didn’t get the picture when I first saw it but it’s saying that Google is squashing and recycling the Windows logo.

Is it a coincidence?  I really don’t think Google are the plagiarising type. What do you think?

[Update]

I also found this movie on YouTube.  It’s saying that the logo is taken from ThinkFree Office logo. The resemblance is uncanny.

It’s normal these days that everyone copies other work.
