YouTube Originals

1st Logo (2011)
Logo: On a black background, we see various small 3D objects, such as spheres, cubes, rings, and capsules, in red, white, and black, flying towards the center of the screen, forming the then-current YouTube logo. The background turns white with particle effects once the logo forms.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A whoosh sound effect.

Availability: Only seen on the 2011 documentary Life in a Day, produced by Scott Free Productions.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (before being merged with YouTube Premium) (2018)


Logo: On a white background, we see the red rounded square fading in, along with the white play button. The square moves to the left as the words reveal "YouTube Originals".

FX/SFX: The square and the play fading in and the words.

Music/Sounds: Same as the YouTube Red Originals logo.

Availability: Seen on Kevin Hart: What the Fit, but ever since YouTube rebranded YouTube Red as YouTube Premium, this logo is no longer being used as shows on YouTube Premium tend to use the next logo.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (after being merged with YouTube Premium) (2018-)


Logo: Same as the 2017 YouTube Red logo, but the text reads "YouTube Originals" instead.

Variant: In late 2018, the logo was refined to have a smoother animation.

FX/SFX: Same as the YouTube Red logo.

Music/Sounds: Same as the YouTube Red Originals logo.

Availability: Seen on newer shows exclusive to YouTube Premium, such as Lockdown on YouTube Red, YouTube Originals Children + Family and the Family Channel (season 1 only; picked up by second-window with Wildbrain).

Editor's Note: None.

4th Logo (Pinkfong Wonderstar) (2021-)


Logo: On a sky background, we see Pinkfong and Hogi, as with Pinkfong circling his finger. A spark of dust flies up, then it flashes to the text "YOUTUBE ORIGINALS".

FX/SFX: TBA.

Music/Sounds: TBA.

Availability: Debuted on the season 2 trailer of Pinkfong Wonderstar on YouTube Kids.
