To ensure that your SVG logo renders properly in Chrome when using Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Optimize the SVG file: Start by optimizing your SVG file to ensure that it is clean and well-structured. You can use online tools like SVGOMG or SVGO to remove unnecessary attributes, compress the file size, and improve compatibility across different browsers.

  2. Inline the SVG code: Instead of linking to an external SVG file, it's recommended to inline the SVG code directly into your Webflow project. This ensures that the SVG is loaded and rendered correctly by all browsers, including Chrome.

  3. Check for CSS conflicts: Sometimes, CSS styles applied to your SVG logo or its container can conflict with its rendering in Chrome. To fix this, inspect the element using Chrome's developer tools and check for any conflicting CSS properties. Adjust or remove any conflicting styles to resolve the issue.

  4. Use proper SVG syntax: Webflow relies on the SVG syntax to properly render SVG logos. Ensure that your SVG file uses correct syntax, including appropriate opening and closing tags, as well as necessary attributes like viewBox and preserveAspectRatio.

  5. Test in different browsers: After implementing the above steps, it is crucial to test your SVG logo across different browsers, including Chrome, to ensure consistent rendering. Use browser developer tools to inspect and troubleshoot any issues that might arise.

Remember, it's always a good practice to regularly update your browsers, as outdated versions can sometimes have compatibility issues with certain SVG features. By optimizing and inline the SVG code, resolving CSS conflicts, using proper SVG syntax, and testing in different browsers, you can ensure that your SVG logo renders properly in Chrome when using Webflow.
