The mark

A performance gauge around a play button

The mark is a 290° gauge arc — the analytics half of the product — closing around a play triangle. The arc runs from teal to amber as performance climbs. It reads correctly down to 16 pixels, and it works in a single colour when it has to.

Mark — light backgrounds

Transparent background, violet-to-teal arc. Use on white and light surfaces where the icon container would feel heavy.

Mark — dark backgrounds

Lifted violet and a white play triangle so the mark keeps its contrast on dark surfaces.

Violet carries the brand. Teal and amber are reserved for data — the gauge, positive movement and warnings. Never use them as decoration.

Typography

One family, two weights

Inter where available, falling back to the platform UI font. Headings are set tight; body copy is set at a comfortable reading size and never below 15px.

Semibold 650 — subheads, buttons, table headers
Regular 400 — body copy, at 17px with a 1.65 line height. Long-form text is capped at roughly 74 characters per line so it stays readable.
font-family: Inter, "Segoe UI", system-ui, -apple-system, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
Usage

Clear space, minimum size, and what not to do

Clear space

Leave clear space on all sides equal to half the height of the mark. Nothing — text, rules, edges or other logos — enters that area.

½½ ½½

Minimum size

The mark stays legible down to 16px. Below 24px, use the app icon rather than the transparent mark, and never use the horizontal lockup below 120px wide.

Do

  • Use the supplied files without modification.
  • Pick the variant that matches the background — dark mark on light, light mark on dark.
  • Keep the mark's square proportions when scaling.
  • Place the mark on solid colour, or on an image area quiet enough to keep it legible.
  • Use the single-colour version when the reproduction method cannot hold a gradient.

Don't

  • Recolour the mark, change its gradient, or apply effects, shadows or outlines.
  • Stretch, squash, rotate or skew it.
  • Rebuild the lockup by setting the wordmark yourself, or change the spacing between mark and text.
  • Place it on a busy photograph, or on a colour too close to violet to separate from it.
  • Use the mark in a way that suggests YouTube or Google built, endorsed or approved this product.
