YouTube+, a new YouTube client for iOS, is in progress. It aims to create a full-featured experience with all that the service offers, for use by casual viewers and content creators alike.
We're working hard on making this app the best it can be, both functionally and visually, and we'd like your help. Much like Sparrow we've come up with a set of potential icons for YouTube+.
Great work! I think I like this one the most (8). Though, I think the screen really has to be horizontal instead of vertical... It just doesn't feel right this way. How does it look like with those 3 buttons on the bottom of the icon? But, great work man! keep rockin'. :)
I would go with #1. Its simple, and very recognizable as being related to YouTube. And while this version is certainly interesting and well done, there are two things that bother me about it: first of all, it has a screen that is in portrait mode, and I have never seen a tv or computer with a screen that is taller than it is wide. Second of all, this icon suggests older tv shows because it is an older looking TV, whereas YouTube is very much a newer thing, and is not quite TV, but something more.
As much as I LOVE #8 (it really is stunning!) it does not communicate the YouTube brand at all. So my vote is for #7, the simplest, easy to recognize, no frills & beautifully executed. Hope this helps :)
I look forward to the upcoming YouTube+ app by Nick Frey & Jonathan Mazaltov. So I threw these together quite quickly, more stock/Natal styled.
(Im not working on this app, just did these for fun).

Hello all,
YouTube+, a new YouTube client for iOS, is in progress. It aims to create a full-featured experience with all that the service offers, for use by casual viewers and content creators alike.
We're working hard on making this app the best it can be, both functionally and visually, and we'd like your help. Much like Sparrow we've come up with a set of potential icons for YouTube+.
Please pick your favorite and leave any thoughts.
Thank you! More details are on the way.

Totally agree with @Thom , this vertical align is little weird for me. But otherwise excellent pixelperfect work!

I agree with the others. Rotate those sweet pixels and you've got yourself a winner. Otherwise I like 6 also.

4 without the 3D effect on play icon.
I miss simple app icons. Nowadays, I only see over-designed ones and that makes me sad.

My love is 7 cause it has more feel to it, the border makes its more click able.
No.4 is my next choice. :)

If one of the repeated metaphor, #7. If not that, than the YT_Update with less of an inner shadow on the screen.
