About Youtube Broadcast Yourself

A square icon with rounded corners and a soft light-grey gradient background contains a stacked wordmark. The top line is the black word "You" in a tall, bold sans-serif. Beneath it sits a glossy red rounded rectangle (pill-like) containing the white word "Tube" in a similar bold sans-serif. A subtle highlight/shine appears across the red shape, giving it a glossy, three-dimensional look.

Below the icon is a small grey tagline reading "Broadcast Yourself™". The whole mark uses strong contrast (black, white and red) on a soft grey rounded-square panel and has a slightly beveled, skeuomorphic appearance typical of early web 2000s design.

Shapes: rounded square (background panel) rounded rectangle / pill (red tube shape) stacked wordmark tagline text

Style: glossy gradient skeuomorphic stacked wordmark bold sans-serif
