You may have noticed this morning that a new logo (for the first time ever) appeared for YouTube, in addition to a redesigned look to the site. I've seen the new UI appear every now and then for what seems like eternity, but it now looks like YouTube itself is starting to phase out the current design we know and love.

What do you guys think of these changes?

I'm already getting used to the new logo because it didn't change quite too much except for having the TV thingy with the play button in it just like that small icon in the tab. However, the new YouTube UI might be a bit too red for me though.

I discovered that new logo when I was watching some Let's Plays, but I don't like how much brighter the new red is. It feels blinding to my eyes if you ask me.

Keep in mind that the red in the new logo is the same shade of red from the original logo.

It looks brighter than the old red to me. At least I'm sure.

I actually didn't notice the change until I got the news from Discord haha. I don't really mind the change as I barely notice, but I will miss the old logo. :[ It's been around for so long.

The red has to be brighter. It's blinding. Check the hex codes.

According to some sources where I discovered that YouTube changed their logo, it seems that they're aiming for pure red (#FF0000) as part of design, sooo...

Yeah I will miss that old logo, which I recall has been around since YouTube was first established in 2005. So it was definitely an iconic logo.

Yeah, it definitely is brighter but aiming for such a generic pure red is what I call lazy.

it will take some time to get used to. especially the blinding red. but other than that it's ok i guess.

Seems like the "new ui" is basically the old ui but they removed the borders on everything and now it looks really sloppy.

Google is stupid, very very stupid.

The new UI is terrible, I disabled it immediately. Less usable, hard on the eyes, and generally just not good. The logo I hated initially, but now? I still hate it.

That reminds me, I'm still not used to Google's new logo. It was such a drastic change from the logo they previously had, but still kept the colour arrangement.

> the red needs to go
> atleast the new ui isnt the weird sleek one that keeps on popping up before because i s2g hate that one, looks too spacious and really clunky

Is it me or the subscribe button bigger now than when it used to be next to the channel name? Now you can't miss it when a video tells you to SUBSCRIBE 4 MORE.

I miss the black background on playlists, the grey is a bit odd.

lol, yeah I see that.

Add onto that the amount of YouTubers who will still ask everyone to subscribe to them in their videos, too.

I noticed the change yesterday, though I'm unsure this is only on Chrome because I'm pretty sure Microsoft Edge is still using the previous design.

 

[Hikamaru]

I use Chrome and now I start noticing the new designs coming into effect. It just looks so badly enlarged compared to the previous layouts.

I mean, what is it with social media platforms I use getting all crappy? First Tumblr and now this.

 

[Desert Stream~]

I absolutely hate it.
