1. Look at The Competitors

What you have to do about them is that try to learn what makes them special, what makes them able to appeal to people more than you.

3. Don't Forget Your Audience

You may put your own taste when designing the logo, but you have to remember that this work is not only for you but is for the audience. On one side, the logo you make for the Youtube channel you are doing should represent you, your personality, and the channel character that you are trying to build; at the same time, you should also consider that this icon should appeal to the audience. The choice that you make on the elements of the logo, like colors, fonts, and the image, may base on the taste that you have so that it can give it a strong character of yours as the channel maker.

4. Create A Unique Visual

Logos that look similar to other logos or derive creatively from established works will have a weak impact. Your logo needs to convey your branding; therefore, it has to be absolutely unique so that it does not remind the viewers of other channels. A good logo designer will be able to translate the inspiration from the sources they saw to design a new unique work. You also need to be careful about plagiarizing brand logos; try to get advice from a patent lawyer if there is any doubt about your design.

5. Think About The Style

A good logo is going to be an eye-catching work with certain meanings inside, and it can draw people's attention at the same time. However, there are also some bad ones that we can find. It happens because the logo is done by the business owner himself. Commonly, these businessmen choose to draw it by themselves for the budget' condition. They wanted to save some amount of money, so they decided to design their own logo without any professional help. The other reason is that they need it to be fast, so they try to design it themselves or ask a friend to do it for them.

The decision could end as a flop for the company or, in this case, your Youtube channel. If you want to have a successful channel, and you want people to care about your channel and finally engage them with the channel, then a good logo could be your best effort to do it.

If you choose to do it yourself, make sure that you know about the design and that you have experience in doing it. If what happened is the opposite, you'd better ask the help of a professional to help you create one so that it could be one of the most effective advertising tools for your channel.

You may have your own concept; it's even a must; then, you can share the idea with the designer and ask the help to realize the idea into a fascinating logo that you need to boost the channel you create.

6. Think About The Color and Font

There are many available fonts and colors that you can use in designing a logo for your Youtube Channel. Apart from those choices, you can also create customized ones. Be wise and careful in choosing both of them.

Applying too many colors to a design will make it difficult to read, and it will cost a lot of money when it needs to be printed or embroidered. If you pay attention to the world's most notable logos, they commonly come up in only one or two colors. So, try to keep it simple.

You can apply The same principle when choosing the fonts. Of course, you want the work to be readable, but it is not that ordinary. Times New Roman and Ariel are popular fonts for word projects. However, these choices won't be a good fit for good logos. They just don't give an original touch. There are various kinds of fonts to choose from; some are elegant, others are bold, some others will give you conventional nuance, and so on. What you have to remember, whatever your choice is, it should support the image and the spirit of the channel you are doing.

7. Communicate in a Simple Way

Many small business owners make the mistake of creating a logo that contains too much information in it. They mean it as a tool for communication but end up there's no communication at all of the performance of too crowded work. The same principle should be used by the Youtuber when they want to make an icon for their channels. They need to make it simple but meaningful. Instead of putting every piece of information in your logo, you'd better focus on a single icon that will be remembered well by the viewers.

Besides, a too crowded logo will not be easy when you need to print it or embroider it on a shirt, for example, or even on a business card. Look, we are thinking big here. Someday, your Youtube channel can be the source of your money, and you will need to put the logo on every item.

On the other side, you cannot make it too simple either, so that it doesn't represent anything of the business you are doing. If so, it won't help you in getting more viewers. Make it simple, yes. However, being too simple and don't convey any meaning will not be helpful either. So make it simple while still conveying the meaning of the channel you make.

8. Think About The Comprehensibility

Since a logo is one of the main tools in advertising, a logo should be understood well by the viewers in a very short time. When you create a Youtube Channel, and you decide to make a logo for the channel, you have to remember this principle. People don't have much time when they see a new brand, a new channel, or a new product being offered.

The first impression they can get is usually from the logo. Therefore, your logo should convey the brand that you want to offer your audiences. However, there are some businesses that decide to make a delicate design with many details crafted well to give a high-end character. But this even could be unfavorable for the business you are running.

Your potential viewers will only look at it at a glance, and that is the only time that you have to attract their attention. So in that time, you have to be able to make your icon to tell the whole story of the channel that you want to make. If your narrative is hidden by the complicated icon that you make, then it is suggested that you visit a professional graphic designer and revise your work with a simple and comprehensible one.

9. Create An Appealing Design

Besides being unique, the icon you make should be visually attractive and comfortable for the eyes of the audience. It should be able to make people want to look at it. Theo the appreciation of the brand. The designs with visual appeal are often the simplest, but it can take significant confidence to back up a simple logo. Make sure you get comments from objective outsides; friends and family aren't the best choices, but they may help a lot. Therefore, professional help might be the one that you need.

The best visual appeal also can be thought about at the early stage of the making process. Think carefully of every element that you want to involve in the icon you are working at. The choices of the type, the color, the font, and other elements will affect the final result of your work.

When you decide to use the application to create a logo for your Youtube channel, don't forget to customize it. Customizing the template that you've found online will surely make your work different from others, and it will make yours easier to be recognized by the target audiences.

10. Be Relevant With Your Niche

The relevance between the logo and the business is an obligation. How could you make an identity which does not represent the product or the brand you want to sell? So, obviously, you have to make your work relevant to your industry, especially when your name does not intrinsically convey the purpose of the business.

To make it easy for you to understand, look at an example, a taxi firm may put a licensed cab in their logo in some way, or a construction firm could use bricks as the symbol. You don't want to be too over-reliant on personal service or products since you may grow and expand your offerings in the future, making your work less applicable.
