Did you know you can vlog about any topic, from gaming, movie and product reviews, lifestyle, politics, travel, design, the arts, food – anything goes! As long as there is an audience, you are good to go.
If you are positioning yourself to become a YouTube personality, Snap star or Instagram influencer, than a professional vlog logo design is essential to stand out from your competition and build your brand’s reach to attract sponsors and partners.
Logos are usually used to introduce your page, a part of your introduction or end credits on the vlog entry, your profile picture or just generally visible on your page while people scroll through.

What do I need to consider when designing my vlog logo?
- Identify your audience. Review your channel data and see who’s watching and subscribing. Look for trends in location, age, gender, social profiles to learn more about your audience.
- Define your brand personality. Take inspiration from your life, your team, your channel content and viewer comments and your competitors to understand what makes your YouTube/Twitch/Instagram TV brand different and unique.
- Create a mood board of brands and colours that reflect your channel’s audience and attributes.
- Consider which type of logo you need. There are six main types of logos and it’s useful to know the difference between logo, logo mark and a logo type when you’re designing your vlog logo.
- Find a professional logo designer or a quality logo maker to create your logo.
Trends in vlog logos
For vloggers, Twitchers, YouTube Personality and Snap stars, video cameras, TV sets, film reels, clapboards and mascot logos are popular choices. Ultimately your logo preference will be shaped by the content you make.
The industry and creative identity of the person or group behind the channel matters the most. For example, food vloggers feature chefs and kitchen items like plates or knives and forks in their logos. TV critics and pop culture mavens favor the square shape of an old TV screen for their brand.
