The logo consists of the black word "You" and a red rounded rectangle with the word "Tube" in it next to it. This logo is still being used on YouTube Merchandise and on some other pages.
2011–2013
This modification of the YouTube logo was introduced in July 2011 as a part of the Cosmic Panda experiment. It officially became the new logo a few months later. It has the red square in a darker color this time. Also, in 2012, the slogan "Broadcast Yourself" was retired. This logo is still used on the YouTube Help Center page.

On December 19, 2013, the red rectangle was made slightly lighter in color. Also, the word "You" was made more black and the shadow behind the word "Tube" was removed.
