Logic Behind - The logo is the first impression of the business, the YouTube logo is very straight and simple. The company's founders named the website YouTube, with “You” indicating user-generated content, and “Tube” being an older root word for television – simply Your TV.
Story Behind - There are many stories about the founding of the YouTube platform, but the one is the most real. The idea for YouTube came in the form of a video version of an online dating site between the three founders. In this, the user introduces himself by uploading videos of himself on the website instead of photos. However, this idea failed miserably. But the founders realized that the idea was much bigger than just a dating site, later launching the site to allow users to post any video.
