This may be just another coincidence but there are some elements that
seem to be common between the logo designs of Google Chrome and that
of ThinkFree.
It's not the official Thinkfree logo but is part of the installer that ships with the desktop version of Thinkfree Office 3.
Philipp Lenssen and Flickr members have come up with these illustrations
to hint that the inspiration for Google Chrome logo may have come
from Simon and Pokemon.
Earlier, Harry McCracken wrote about some similarities he found between
the logo design of Google Chrome and that of Windows Vista - "No, the
Chrome and Windows Vista logos are not true twins, but they're both
round and shiny, with the same color scheme–red, green, yellow, and
blue."
Am sure these all are mere coincidences but the Thinkfree designers
probably aren't too happy about this and have made a 'parody' video on
how the Google Chrome logo was designed.
