I've yet to officially do the LL submission mail both due to being busy and unable to really have a good idea for a banner.
So my question is how did you all decide the "look" of your channel? As in profile pictures, banners, other identifiable stuff. It's never really been appealing to me, so it's sort of a big mental block for doing.

I'm willing to admit that I probably have some of the worst branding on the site, but all I did was pick my favorite color for the background (blue), throw some fancy filters on it, use a complementary color for the font, and then throw a TV next to it to represent video games. Some of the guys have some great branding though, particularly TGS and ehmaysi imo.

it was trial and error until something looked right. My very first go at channel art had too many different fonts and concepts going on. Gradually simplifying things i got a clean look. Find something simple that relates to the theme of your channel. if your channel is all over the place. do what ever the hell you want so long as its visually appealing. What that really means is, is it easy on the eyes, are the titles clear, not too many things going on etc.

I'll experiment a bit when I get a chance then. I know a few people more artistically talented than myself so they might be able to help out.

I've gone through several iterations since I started, but they're all similar in the sense that they're simple/minimalist. That's just what appeals to me and what fits the type of content I've made so far. It took a while to land at a place where I felt it all came together, and like TGS said, experimenting with differing looks is probably the way to go. Put into visuals the vibe of your channel, or what you want it to be, if that makes sense.

I'm not happy with my branding. When I get a good amount of time I'm gonna change it. The blueish background I've got is too dark in my opinion. I see so many people use blue/orange just cause they're very good colors to go together and they aren't offensive to the eyes like yellow or bright green. I prefer minimalist over complex though.
