Replace Logo #29

In the pile of spear phishing emails I get every day about Chrometana, I managed to miss one that was a sketchy-looking but apparently legitimate complaint from Microsoft about the logo. It's too similar to Cortana's so we need something more unique.

I don't have time to design something right now so if I don't have something by Wednesday I'm just gonna make it a black dot.

I'd love for something tongue-in-cheek, like a bent up paperclip. I'm not picky though. This is open for anyone to submit their designs, so submit away!

Here's a mixture of the Cortana and Chrome icons. I find it fitting, since the name of the extension is Chrometana. I also have the Adobe Illustrator file if you need it.

@preston12321 I really like your design but I'm petrified of getting another DMCA. Any chance you could do more to make it look a little less Google-y? Even just straightening the diagonal color cuts would probably be enough

Thank you so much for your submission! I really hope we can use this

@TheoBr In hindsight, I agree it might have still been dangerous, so I straightened the cuts, rearranged the colors, and took the liberty of darkening them as well just to be safe. Wasn't too sure about changing the colors, so I made one without the change to compare. Do with these images what you wish.

@Preston12321 Whoa I REALLY love the second one. Making that the new official logo if it's good with you, send me those illustrator files when you get a chance <3
