The orange, red and blue letters BHM next to the You. Tube play button stand for ‘ Black History Month’. With this logo change, You. Tube are celebrating black excellence and as a tribute to the leading figures and events in the African diaspora.
However the abbreviation has puzzled many, including on Reddit, where a woman assumed it stood for Big Hunky Men. One unimpressed person on Reddit commented: “No one ever has called it ‘BHM’ and they could have made a slightly less tacky logo for it.”.
According to an official You. Tube video, the BHM logo was created by typography artist Leandro Assis. As well as the logo, he worked on a piece for the banner for You. Tube’s ‘Celebrating Black History Month’ page, which features various small illustrations on a black background.
