On the one hand, I absolutely don't care either way. It's just an icon and easily still looks familiar like the chrome icon.

Looking at the new icon by itself though if I didn't already know it as the chrome icon, makes it look like the icon of any random new startup/project. It's bland, round, flat. Actually it does suit what Chrome has become--it doesn't stand for anything in particular, just commercial software that happens to be based on some opensource.
