Logo is too distracting (bright red on dark background) - remove!

Please reopen?

Description

Please remove your application's logo from all places including the address bar (for the shield) and in application resources. Allow users to hide that shield icon in the address bar. Use an unobtrusive dark-colored, neutral logo for the application, or let users use regular Chrome logo. These are all easy fixes (ignored for political reasons, since you like your logo so much) and it's a pain to have to recompile Brave each time to include the proper fixes.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the application
2. Visit a website

Actual result

Bright red obtrusive distracting immature unnecessary logo.

Expected result

No distractions - clean refined look like stock Chrome.

Miscellaneous information

Brian Bondy should know better about choice of logos, unobtrusive UX. I have to switch to your browser in one year because of MV3 removal from Chrome. Also stay more current with Chromium (Brave is at least 2 major versions behind Chromium in the nightly builds) - you are essentially more open to security risks. All dev versions of Chrome have generally ran stable for me except on rare occassions.

Clean browser:

Red implies notification.

Yes, thanks for the feedback. The color is orange and Brave Shields does act as a notification that shields is on and will add a count of trackers and ads blocked.

Also clean:

Going to close the issue - feedback has been shared with both @rebron and the design team 😄

There are some things we can do - but needs more thought. Thanks for raising!

That's not clean. It appears red on monitors that use blue light filtering apps like (F.lux). My eyes are distracted to the logo. Everything around it is neutral in color. It looks like there's some kind of error or an immature looking logo.

And I don't want a notification that shields is on and will add a count of trackers and ads blocked..... I want clean like the stock Chrome image I showed you. Neutral colors. No obnoxious logos.

Why did you close and mark as completed? It's too distracting. Brian Bondy just wants this obnoxious logo there for "pride" reasons. I have no interest in the logo. You need to do studies on logos like Google did for their Chrome logo. And the use of it in general.
