Visual identity
This section contains guidance for the use of YouTube Kids assets as you build your marketing materials.If you are using any YouTube Kids assets for your marketing, please note that you must complete this form for approval.
Visual system
Introducing the YouTube Kids visual system. Whenever possible, please use the logo lockup instead of the icon.
Marketing logo lockup
App icon
YouTube Kids logo lockup
Two-color versions
Please use the two-color logo lockups whenever possible. If the background color clashes with the two-color lockup, then please use our monochrome lockups.
Monochrome versions
Please use our monochrome lockups if the background color in your creative clashes with the two-color lockup or if our lockup is being placed next to a partner’s monochrome logo.
Clear space
Clear space refers to the area around the Logo that must be kept clear of other visual elements. Use the height of the triangle in our Icon to determine the minimum amount of clear space that should surround the YouTube Logo. Whenever possible, provide more clear space around the Logo to give it more prominence.
Minimum clear space requirements
Minimum size
To ensure the word “YouTube Kids” can always be read, the lockup should never appear smaller than the following minimum sizes:
- Digital application: 20dp
- Print application: 0.125 inches or 3.1 mm
Minimum size requirements
YouTube Kids logo animation
This is the official YouTube Kids Logo animation for use in marketing collateral. Never create a new Logo animation.
YouTube Kids product logo
To shorten the YouTube Kids lockup for use within our UI, we remove the word “YouTube.” Due to legal requirements, you must receive approval from the brand team for any use of this lockup in marketing collateral.
Endorsement lines
Endorsement lines let us provide brand attribution for various kinds of partnerships or brand relationships without having to use the full logo lockup. Because we cannot use our logo lockups in the middle of a sentence, we have provided a selection of endorsement lines for partners to feature in marketing materials.
When you use an endorsement line, make sure it’s easy to read and follows our clear space and minimum size requirements.
If it’s necessary for an endorsement line to appear smaller than our minimum size standards allow, the endorsement should be written as plain text in the Roboto regular typeface.
Endorsement lines are always written in sentence case unless there is only one word in front of the YouTube wordmark. In that situation, the first word should be left in lowercase (e.g., “by YouTube”).

Testing the contrast ratio
Our lockups must always pass the AA accessibility standard for visibility set by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines . Use the WebAIM tool to check the contrast ratio of the logo color you wish to use against the background color of your creative:
- Regular and small lockups (18pt or below) must show a contrast ratio of 4.5:1 or higher.
- Large lockups (18pt or above) must show a contrast ratio of 3:1 or higher.
