How to Brand a YouTube Channel
Your YouTube Channel contains all of the video clips that you've uploaded and chosen to share with other users. Make your channel distinctive by branding it so that other users can easily find your video content. YouTube allows users to name the channel, customize channel color schemes and upload an image file that appears as the channel background image. Brand your YouTube Channel by naming it clearly and uploading an image file of your personal or company logo or a photo that reflects its content.
