With that said let's go ahead and jump right in.
To add a logo watermark to all of your YouTube videos, on YouTube, click on your icon on
the top, right-hand side, and then click on 'YouTube studio'.
Click on 'settings' on the left-hand side, 'channel', and then on the 'branding' tab.
As you can see, I already have this subscribe button as my logo watermark, which is displayed
throughout the entirety of all of my YouTube videos.
So now I'm going to show you two different kinds of logo watermarks that you can add
to your YouTube videos, depending on the look and feel that you're going for.
I'm going to be using this demo YouTube account, so that we can go through the entire process
of how to add a logo watermark to your YouTube videos together.
As you can see here, the ideal format of this logo watermark is a PNG or GIF, that's 150
x 150 pixels, and 1MB (or less).
Images with one or two colors and a transparent background work best.
This watermark that we add will overlay your video in the bottom right corner of the video
player.
The first kind of logo watermark that you can add is a YouTube subscribe button just
like I have in my videos.
To ensure that this watermark is in the exact dimensions that YouTube requires, I like using
Canva to create it.
If you don't have a Canva account yet, just click on the link in the description box below
to create one for free.
In Canva, click on the turquoise 'create a design' button on the left, and then on 'custom
dimensions'.
Set the dimensions to 150 x 150 pixels, and then
click on 'create design'.
From the elements tab, search for YouTube, and then drag and drop any of the subscription
buttons to your design.
Another kind of logo watermark that you can create is one that matches your personal or
business' brand.
So let's add a new page to our design so I can show you what I mean.
The first thing I'll do is change the background color to one of my brand colors by clicking
on the color picker up top, and then adding the color's hex code.
Now from the left-hand side panel, I'm going to click on 'text' and then on 'add a heading'.
I'm going to change the color of this text to another one of my brand's colors by clicking
on the color picker and then inserting its hex code.
Now let's change the text so that it says 'click here to', reduce the size to 14 pixels
and reposition it.
Now let's click on 'elements' and select a YouTube subscribe button.
Change its color from the color picker so that it matches your brand's colors, resize
and reposition it.
As you can see, we have two different style of logo watermarks that we can add to our
YouTube video.
Once you've finished creating your logo watermark, and wish to download it to your computer,
rename your design, and click on the downward pointing arrow on the top right.
Select the file type, so for that choose PNG which is what YouTube suggests, and click
on the blue 'download' button.
If you wish to download the first logo watermark's background as transparent instead of white,
be sure to save your file as a PNG and turn on the 'transparent background' setting.
You can do so with a Canva Pro account, which you can try out for free for 30 days by clicking
on the link in the description box below.
After you've downloaded your logo watermarks, and chosen which one of the two designs you
wish to add to your YouTube videos, go back to the branding settings of your YouTube studio.
Click on 'choose image', locate your logo watermark from your files, and then click
on 'open'.
You can now see a preview of what your logo watermark will look like at the bottom right
of your YouTube videos.
Toggle whether you want the logo watermark to appear at the end of the video, at a custom
start time, or throughout the entire video, which is what I prefer and recommend, and
then press 'save'.
When we click on one of our YouTube videos now, the watermark will appear on the bottom
right, and your subscribers can hover on top of it and click to easily subscribe to your
YouTube channel.
Now you know how to add a logo watermark to a YouTube video to increase your YouTube subscribers
and grow your YouTube channel fast.
