YouTube is pushing out updates to both its PC and mobile platforms. There
has been a slight change to the logo where the wordmark is now combined with
the ‘play’ icon.
The icon now sits on top of the red outline of a CRT TV
that used to be under the "Tube" part of the wordmark. The icon is to
the left of the wordmark on the website, but in some cases the brightened up
icon will be used as an abbreviated logo.
For the mobile app, it now sports a design that has the navigation
tabs on the bottom (including new Library and Account sections), the ability to
speed up and slow down playback (previously a web-only feature), and recently a
row of suggested videos has been added to the full screen view. Additionally,
"in the coming months" you'll be able to jump between videos with a
swipe - left for previous, right for next. Soon, the YouTube player will
seamlessly change shape to match the video format you're watching, so no more
black bars on those vertically-shot videos. Finally, the area below the player
should let you "browse videos in totally new ways" at some point in
the future.
The desktop interface of YouTube now sports a fully Material Design and darker
themed. These features have been available for some users as YouTube has
conducted extensive testing, but they're now rolling out across the globe.
