YouTube as waved good bye to the days when shiny, glossy, on-your-face logos were the norm. YouTube has been silent about it but the Internet hasn't. It has updated new minimilistic logo on iOS and Android apps, and its profile on Facebook and Twitter.
The new logo is here to stay, The Verge confirmed. The previous logo for YouTube hasn't changed much over the years, except for some cosmetic edits. The Verge states YouTube saying new logo is an effort towards the play button representing itself and the old logo will still be hanging around.
