YouTube

2005–present
The logo consists of the black word "You" and a red rounded rectangle with the word "Tube" in it next to it. It may also contain the "Broadcast Yourself" tagline underneath. This logo is still being used on YouTube Merchandise and YouTube XL. This logo still appears on some pages. This is the most popular and most well-known YouTube logo due to its wide use from 2005-2011 as the main logo on the YouTube website. It is now a secondary logo for now.

2011–2013
This modification of the YouTube logo was introduced in July 2011 as a part of the Cosmic Panda experiment. It officially became the new logo a few months later. The new logo is colored slightly darker red on the rectangle. With the introduction of an entirely new layout on December 6, 2012, the slogan "Broadcast Yourself" was retired. It returned on Super Bowl Sunday 2015 for a short time.

2013–present (Main logo)


In December 19, 2013, the red rectangle was made slightly lighter in color. Also, the word "You" was made black and the shadow behind the word "Tube" was removed.

2013–present (Alternate logo)
This logo was introduced on August 29, 2013, particularly used on Facebook and Twitter accounts. Also used for app icons (e.g iOS, Windows 8, and Nokia Windows Phones.)

Yoodles
Like Google with their Doodles, YouTube changes their default logo to a stylized one with relevance to a certain date on various days throughout the year. These special logos are sometimes called Yoodles.

2011-2013, 2014
This favicon was used starting in 2011 and was replaced in 2013 by the next favicon, but it returned in late 2014 for a brief period of time.
