It did? I guess it's forever stuck in my mind as the YouTube iPhone icon and I've forgotten it was used elsewhere.

A quick googling doesn't come up with any instances of this icon except the iPhone. The 2005 YouTube logo was already the familiar black and red. Where else was the old TV icon used by Google?




IIUC they just mean that this retro design style for logos/icons wasn't Steve Jobs/Apple and Youtube specific


Yes, I’m pretty sure the OP understands that is what is being claimed, but where else was it?


I don't know, I didn't say that I agree with NoPedantsThanks. But Skeuomorphism was a real hype in the 00s. But I think it got mostly popular through Apple/Steve Jobs.


Actually, I thought he was referring to the archaic "tube"-shaped logo itself.

So... my bad, I guess!


Somebody downvoted that acknowledgment. Sad.
