YouTube is rolling out or at least testing a significant visual change to its interface on Google TV devices. The update introduces a bright red logo for YouTube Music along the sidebar, making it the only colored icon in that section and causing it to stand out prominently against the rest of the menu.
While the application's UI on televisions occasionally undergoes modifications with little prior warning, this specific alteration has been noted as particularly noticeable. Despite the change in the sidebar icon, the functionality within the Music tab remains unchanged, continuing to display music videos and content from artists that users follow or have listened to previously.
This design shift may eventually extend beyond Google TV, given that YouTube's television app interface is shared across multiple platforms. However, the distinctiveness of the red logo has sparked negative reactions, with some observers hoping the change will be reverted before becoming permanent.
