Tips for Your YouTube Channel Branding

  1. Choose ONE font style and use it consistently in your channel name, banners, and thumbnails.
  2. Make sure the name is readable at small sizes (like the subscriber icon in comments).
  3. Test the styled name in a YouTube comment to see how it looks at scale.
  4. Register the same username on other platforms before it's taken.
  5. Keep a plain-text version of your name for when styled characters can't be used.
