Branding may be defined as you telling your story your way. Your “leit motif”, your copy, your images and artwork, your logos, your colors on your channel, in other words, you. If you have a YouTube Channel and that channel has your videos, each video tells a story on it’s own. But realistically speaking is your channel telling your whole story?, is it showing your holistic view? Is it connecting all the dots in a manner consistent with who you are, what you do and how you are like?
Branding is highly important and will definitely help to separate you from the pack. Branding requires many elements to establish your own look and personality. Your branding is not something that happens suddenly, it is developed over time. As you and your work progress, so does your branding so investing some time on your branding, no matter where you are at with your channel, helps to realign your focus, your niche and your motive.
Unfortunately, YouTube offers a very limited set of options to brand your channel and separate you from the pack. Other than changing some of the artwork, adding a few texts and perhaps an icon or a logo, the platform has a set of rules and parameters that are impossible to overcome. So while there may be many best practices to create banners and logos for YouTube, you will need to look elsewhere to give your videos and channel the branding they deserve, to tell your whole story.
