With not so much buzz surrounding it, YouTube rolled out a new logo for YouTube Studio, it’s separate forum where creators check insights for their content.
The new design is a smooth red hexagon with a play button in the middle, bearing much similarity with the YouTube Music icon. As of last week, iOS users were already getting notifications for the update and now thousands of users have already downloaded it. A recurrent criticism on Twitter is that the previously used distinctive gear design connotes ‘studio’ vividly when compared to this.
The range of YouTube logos, although unique, are not far in similarity from the original YouTube logo. Only the previous YouTube studio logo stood out due to it’s jagged edges. Industry experts speculate it could be the reason for a change.
