Since its launch in 2005, YouTube has had the same logo on all platforms. Now, the video hosting company is making some slight changes to how it looks. Apart from the logo, YouTube is also implementing a few changes that are meant to cater to the growing mobile audience. This goes hand-in-hand with the updated desktop design, which is now the default one in the majority of regions.
As the company noted in its announcement blog post, it has been 12 years since YouTube first introduced its iconic logo. With the advent of mobile formats, however, there was a need to make some changes in order to accommodate the variety of screen sizes.
“When YouTube launched 12 years ago, it was a single website that supported one video format, 320x240 at 4:3 aspect ratio. Fast forward to today, and YouTube lets you watch any combination of SD, HD, 4K, 360, 3-D, and live video on nearly every device with an internet connection – from desktops to phones, tablets to TVs, game consoles, and even VR headsets,” the post reads.
Aside from the logo, there have been some additional changes with the new update, including a cleaner design, an experimental new gesture control, and the speed control feature for mobile devices. Many of these features were already available on the desktop version, but owners of smart devices have been clamoring for YouTube to bring them to the mobile scene as well.
The rollout of the new feature is starting now, but there’s no telling as to when it will be available everywhere, TechCrunch reports. It’s likely that that the new features will be available everywhere in the US by this time tomorrow, however, so it’s just the global audience that will need to wait for a little while. Whatever the case, the simpler, cleaner design is considered a marked improvement by publishers everywhere.
