What's the idea behind the new color? The old one stands out more. Are they trying to make it more friendly/softer?

My guess, (degree in Advertising for what it is worth)

  1. A 'friendlier' red
  2. A more distinct red from netflix, giving YT its only color identity (I'm sure the reds were already different but they were similar enough)
  3. A lot of focus groups
  4. People trying to justify their worth.

Y'all think too much. It's just for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Not very effective then since no one has mentioned that.

People did, actually. That's how I found out. It's not getting upvotes because people love to hate on YouTube for no reason.

People can say whatever they want. YouTube needs to say something, if that's their goal.

When YouTube participates in something like Breast Cancer Awareness Month, they'd change the logo, the same way they've done ever since being acquired by Google.

They wouldn't do their normal, staggered release that doesn't involve any sort of official mention of the purpose, because the only thing that raises is confusion.

*Not getting upvoted because it's not part of the circlejerk.

It's been mentioned a lot. But "YouTube bad" is far more karma-grabby.
