YouTube Logo & Thumbnail Design - 23/05/2026 02:30 EDT

Creating a clean, minimalist logo for my new YouTube channel is the first goal. The palette must stay dark and bold—deep charcoals, blacks, or midnight tones, with a single accent if it helps the mark stand out. Whether it ends up as a pure word-mark or pairs a subtle icon with text is up to your creative judgment, as long as the final piece remains uncluttered and unmistakable at small sizes.

Alongside the logo, I also need a set of cohesive thumbnail templates so every video instantly feels part of the same series. These thumbnails should mirror the logo’s look and color weight, remain readable on mobile, and leave room for changing episode titles.

Deliverables
• Primary logo supplied in SVG, AI, PDF, and transparent PNG, plus an inverted or light version for flexible use.
• At least three reusable 1280 × 720 thumbnail templates (PSD, Figma, or equivalent) with fully editable text layers.

Acceptance criteria
• Logo stays sharp and legible down to 40 × 40 px.
• Thumbnails keep all text inside YouTube’s safe zone and show clear hierarchy at a glance.
• All fonts and assets are either open-licensed or transferred with full rights.
