FAQ

Our YouTube logo maker uses the standard square canvas with an 800px x 800px size. Because YouTube's icons use a circular shape, keep all the important elements of your design away from the corners and closer to the center.

You can add your downloaded logo to your video editor and resize it as necessary. If you want to know how to add your logo to your published YouTube video, find YouTube Studio on your logged-in user account. Go to the Settings menu, select Channel, and click the Branding tab. Upload your YouTube logo as a video watermark and adjust its display time throughout your video.

If you're a budding creator or in the process of rebranding your channel, having a distinct and appealing logo will help you stand out from the many channels on YouTube. Just as any business needs cohesive branding, having a logo that ties in well with your content and video style is important and will strengthen your credibility.

Logos are generally kept simple, with an icon and a name, or just either of the two. Unless you are on a channel page, logos appear small on YouTube, so discern how much or little will be seen on the thumbnail. Keep your elements closely related to your channel's main category and style.

Using a transparent background will make your logo suitable for more uses, such as watermarks and print merchandise. To do this, save your YouTube logo as a PNG file with a transparent background. Click this option when you download your file.
