I am always trying to figure out what would be a good channel icon. I do videos on all kinds of stuff but mostly how to and I just cant seem to come up with a good pic for my icon. Any ideas? thanks
Whatever you choose!

I decided to go with a very simple channel icon. I thought it's better to go with an icon people can remember easily. I use the same icon on Twitter and FB.

Judging by what everyone else has put, I'm not the one to ask (mine's rather more intricate than it should be, though the actual logo is just the dragon), but something eye-catching generally helps, you don't want your colours blanding into each other if you only have two colours~

For my logo and channel design I just used a simple name that was catchy and relevant. I answer questions in short periods of time, so Quick Question, BANG BANG, easy. My favorite color is yellow which goes great with black IMO so I mixed em up and that's the color scheme I went with.

A picture/portrait of you I would say..... And I have heard this from a lot of YouTubers:up2:
A picture of you will attract a lot of viewers compaired to a logo or whatever... An d NO dont you worry about how you look (a lot of people do that) if you use a picture people can relate to your channel and this will give you more subs in the long run

Your channel is really a personal brand, so I think just a good photo of yourself works.
