I don't like new logo. Companies change logo's way too often.

 

[Greigor The Fellhand]

the logo reminds me of pornhub

 

[Icyflamez96]

What's the point of the logo change? It just makes it wider.

It's been the same for 12 years.
I think this is actually the first time they've updated it.

So they can use the icon on its own instead of having the whole logo everywhere.

edit: actually you're right, was thinking of the mobile app icons

 

[jstripes]

That's pretty bad looking.

People are usually hyperbolic about logo redesigns, but this one actually sucks.

Even the greatest design in the world wouldn't help that name.

 

[Royal_Phalanx]

Responsive design gets everywhere

 

[Guevara]

That's pretty bad looking.

Yeah that's pretty clunky.

 

[eot]

I have to say that the new red colour they picked is awful, it's too bright

 

[DrBaalzamon]

I'm at work so I can't test/see, but did they update the Xbox or PS4 apps as well? I know there were a lot of requests for those to be updated with modern underpinnings (higher frame rate/resolution support, etc). Can anyone check/ see? Thanks!

doesnt seemo so, which is a shame since the ps4 app has a bug with 60fps videos

 

[jett]

Awful.

Fed up of interface designers making worthless changes just to justify their jobs.

 

[Van Bur3n]

I don't like it. I preferred 'Tube' remaining in the red box as I felt it further emphasized it was you in the video. You in control.

Now it's just boring black text with a play button. Like I haven't seen a play button before.

 

[Not]

Vertical videos are the future, sorry grandpa.

They're harder on your eyes.

Try looking left and right without moving your head. Now try up and down.

Things are things for a reason.

I've been using the new desktop design since it was in beta, but forgot to log into my YT account to apply on that. Kept myself logged out (logging in when needed) to continue using the now-default.

Dark mode is awesome.

I don't mind the new logo, as well.

This is the dumbest argument ever. These vertical videos are not shown on a giant cinema screen.

The sub list font size is HUGE, lol

Not a fan of the new logo. It is now wider... This trend of changing logos every 2 years or so and making them worse needs to stop. The only exception of a new logo actually being better than the old one is Mozilla's

Brilliant!

 

[Requeim]

I'm not sure I agree with making the red color brighter than the sun. What the fuck were they thinking.

 

[SchrodingerC]

Incredible new logo design; instead of highlighting 'tube', they moved the red square to the left.
A masterpiece that surely took the combined artistic power of Google's designers.

 

[Fancyarcher]

Lame, and uninspiring. Of course!

 

[Vashetti]

The Verge is reporting that the mobile version has dark mode.

But I can't find the setting (yes I'm running the new update, on iOS)

 

[muteki]

So much blank empty space in the desktop version.

I'd figure in 2017 we would have the "present lots of videos" UI down to a science by now.

 

[chrisPjelly]

Sweet! Dark theme is in!

 

[Ravelle]

I hate change!

For about 5 minutes, then you don't know any better.

 

[oatmeal]

Yeah just went to it. Looks bulkier...cleaner but bulkier if that makes sense. Everything is larger. Very strange.

This is the first time YouTube changed their logo.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Looks fine bar YouTube Red and that's mostly because of the awful name

meet the new boss

same as the old boss

minimalism is a cancer on art design

This is hilariously wrong.

That Mozilla logo is horrendous.

read this as dank meme.

Ugh! Thank you for checking- maybe it will roll out later today although I am not keeping my hopes up. Yeah, the Xbox app doesn't even playback 60fps videos at 60fps. So lame.

 

[LinkSlayer64]

bring back categorizing subscriptions

 

[oatmeal]

Oh shit - I do like that the window scales with your browser window.

That's great.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Megaton right here for me.

For real! Finally!

 

[HideyoshiJP]

it's the fucking worst. on Android TV at least, it went from a native app with 4K HDR support and a decent interface to a web wrapper for www.youtube.com/tv that maxes out at 1080p60 with no HDR support. I had a dedicated Android TV device that I depreciated when I got a UHD TV, the same day I unboxed it is the day they "updated" the Android TV app. Just the worst.

It's just awful. I backtracked to 1.3 or 1.4 and turned off auto-update for now. The non-native keyboard also blows.

On topic, I dislike the new logo. It looks too generic now. But more importantly, the new desktop site runs like hot garbage on my one year old laptop with ULV processor.

It's clever, but I only wonder how many people will read it wrong if they aren't familiar with Mozilla.

How do you get to this setting in mobile or desktop? It feels un-intuitive.

edit: Found it on desktop. Should be in settings though..

 

[inm8num2]

Random thought but one Youtube feature I'd love would be some kind of statistical summary for subscribed channels and watched videos For example, it would be neat to sort channels by both the total number of videos and percentage of released videos watched in any period (week, month, year). That way users could better manage subscriptions and remove channels that they don't really watch.

 

[Azure Dream]

When was the last time YouTube changed their logo?

Looks like 2015, but most of the changes have been to flatten the colors and remove the shine effect:

[Loptous]

Did they change the shade of red used on the front page? I swear I feel like it's a brighter hue than before.

Yep. And it's eye-scorchingly bad

 

[Darryl M R]

I'm on Chrome and the videos look larger and more stretched out. I'm not a fan since it feels like I'm giving the video too much space on my screen.

I can't find it on the app.

 

[Einchy]

New logo is fine but the new desktop is wonderful, been using it for months now. So glad they finally implemented a black theme.

YouTube
ouTub

uTu

is like the arrow in the fedex logo cant stop staring at it.
