YouTube Banner
As soon as you as a content creator are discovered by a viewer on YouTube and the viewer likes the content, the new viewers may also visit your channel. Once there, a large banner flashes at them for the first time, the so-called YouTube banner. This catches the new viewers and contains essential information about you and your channel. You'll make a good impression if the YouTube banner matches the rest of your content. If you are looking for a YouTube banner worthy of attention, OWN3D is the right place for you. Look around our store and give your channel an appealing look!
What are YouTube banners?
Originally, banners were called specific advertising images printed on flags or posters, for example. Since the triumph of the internet, most people know banners as graphics that can be used in various ways - for advertising purposes, for presentation, or as a purely decorative element.
A YouTube banner is a mixture of the last two examples mentioned. It represents your channel and is the first eye-catcher. A YouTube banner is also designed in such a way that it can help you to bring your individuality to the fore with its pure visual appearance. This banner contains some short information about you and your channel, for example, about your other social media channels or stream times. This way, new viewers can immediately see what and who they are dealing with when they visit your channel for the first time.
