Did anyone notice the *Play Button* YouTube?

CAIRO – 31 August 2017: For the first time, YouTube made an actual change to its logo. The logo has been changed

3 times before

, but there has never really been any changes to the logo’s core. The changes were more like edits: originally, the rounded red rectangle around the word “Tube” was a bit shiny with the slogan “Broadcast yourself”.

Then, in July 2011, the logo was modified after an initiative called the

“Cosmic Panda Experiment”

. The red color turned a bit darker.

The logo was modified two more times in 2013 and 2015. Both times, the modifications were quite minimal, and the last modification lasted until the August 29, 2017.

This photo is when the logo had an actual change, removing the red square from behind the word “Tube” to the left side of the logo,

forming the famous YouTube play button

in pure red (#FF0000). Finally, the words are bolder and shaded in all black.
So, congratulations to YouTube!
