Google Chrome now with Australian artist themes

We're always keen to share updates about our browser Google Chrome. This past month, we launched a new stable release with speed improvements and updates to key features, as well as a little something extra to make your browser pop: themes. Today, we're excited to build on this initial splash of color. We've invited leading artists, architects, musicians, illustrators, filmmakers and fashion and interior designers from around the world to create artwork for an unusual canvas: the modern web browser.

The result? Artist themes for Google Chrome, a fusion of art and technology, with a hundred artist themes that we hope will enrich and personalise your web browsing experience.

We're honoured to have had the opportunity to work on this project with two of Australia's most celebrated designers - Akira Isogawa and Carla Zampatti. We'd like to thank Akira and Carla for lending their vision, imagination and hard work to this collaboration, and we think you'll enjoy the beautiful Chrome themes they developed for us.


Further afield, we've been lucky enough to collaborate with artists including Jeff Koons, Jenny Holzer, Karim Rashid, Jonathan Adler, Oscar de la Renta, Anita Kunz, Tom Sachs, Kate Spade, Donna Karan, Kid Robot, Casey Reas, Dolce & Gabbana, Michael Graves, Todd Oldham, Yann Arthus-Bertrand and Mariah Carey.

If you haven't tried Google Chrome recently, download the latest version and give the artist themes a whirl. If you're already using Google Chrome, check out the themes gallery and try on your favorite Artist Themes.
