Sad Tab (V0.50)

Sad Tab from Google Chrome Sad Tab from Google Chrome icon

The Sad Tab is the "I've Crashed" image for tabs in the new Google Chrome browser. It may become as familiar an image as the Twitter Fail Wail but hopefully not as recognisable as the Blue Screen of Death. As the browser is not actually out yet the only image of Sad Tab is the one in the Google Chrome comic book by Scott McCloud. Based on that image I've created this design and labeled it version 0.50. When the browser is out and the Sad Tab is seen in the wild, I'll update the image.

I haven’t been able to make Chrome crash yet but I only downloaded it an hour ago. I hope to get a Sad Tab of my very own soon.
