The goal for this logo was to keep it absolutely as simple as possible, but push a good amount of symbolism. On that note, this is what I settled on.

Starting with the "YT" container: the shape is meant to represent YouTube. The fascinating thing is that it's only a rounded rectangle, but it instantly makes you think of YouTube. From there, I put a big slash through it. That represents growth and analytics; two things that are pivotal to the platform's users. I also opted to keep the "YT" and the slash transparent. This represents transparency via the class, and how much easier it will be from it to look through the algorithms and make your ad successful.

The red in the logo is indicative of YouTube, while the gray represents professionalism and ties the design together. The logo works well as a two color system, as well as flat red, black, and white.

It's simple, minimal, and most importantly it's effective.
