About the YouTube logo
The YouTube logo is a red rounded rectangle with a white play triangle set in its centre. The current version dates from 2024 and uses a vivid red (#FF0033) with soft, generous corners, so the shape reads as both a screen and a button. There are no gradients, outlines or shadows: just two flat colours and one familiar symbol. The triangle points to the right, suggesting forward motion and the press of a play button, which keeps the mark readable even at favicon size.
