Badge requirements
When you use a YouTube podcast badge, only use the design provided by YouTube. If you want to change the artwork in any way, fill in this brand request form.
To minimise errors, check out these best practices:
- Only use the files above. Avoid using other graphics from YouTube, like the standalone YouTube logo.
- Include the grey border when you publish your badge.
- Make sure that call-to-action messages are present in the badge artwork. Call-to-action messages include 'Available on', 'Watch on' and 'Listen on'.
- Don't modify, angle, animate, rotate, tilt or apply special effects to the badge.
Size guidelines
- For digital media, the image height should be at least 20 dp (20 pixels).
- For print, the image height should be at least 0.125 in (3.1 mm).
Clear space
The clear space around your badge should be at least one-tenth the height of the badge. You should allow more space if possible.
Don't place photos, typography or other graphic elements within the clear space.
Backgrounds
- Black, white or another solid colour
- An image that doesn't impact readability
Add a badge to your media
Badges should only be used on your website, socials or in print media. Place the badge below or to the right of your promotional content. Your badge should be smaller than other images on the page.
To add a badge, format the image so that:
- Digital assets use the scalable vector format or SVG.
- Printed assets use the artwork in EPS format, matching the colour profile to your printer's needs.
Link a badge to your RSS feed
If your podcast isn't available on YouTube, your listeners can add your RSS feed to their YouTube Music app library using your show's badge.
To link your RSS feed to a badge:
- Copy your RSS feed URL.
- Encode the RSS feed URL via either URL encoding or base64 encoding. If you use base64 encoding, your RSS feed URL will not be readable.
- Link the badge to https://music.youtube.com/library/podcasts?addrssfeed=your encoded RSS feed URL.
Linking a badge to your RSS feed won't make your podcast available on YouTube. Your podcast will not be eligible for podcast features, like podcast-specific search and discovery, user sharing or for placement on youtube.com/podcasts. Learn more about podcasts on YouTube.
