The YouTube Shorts logo as a transparent PNG: the red rounded play symbol with its lightning-bolt notch, next to the word “Shorts” set in the heavy black wordmark. The background is fully transparent, so the red mark keeps its shape against dark video thumbnails as cleanly as it does on white.
One honest note before you download: this file is 472 by 238 pixels. That is plenty for a thumbnail badge, a corner watermark or a social post, but it is not big enough to stretch across a full-width banner – the edges of the play symbol soften if you push it much past twice its size.

Design tips
Keep the red mark on the left and your own text to the right – that is the order people already recognise, and reversing it makes the badge read as a mistake.
On a dark thumbnail the black wordmark disappears. Either use the play symbol on its own, or sit the whole logo inside a white rounded rectangle with a little padding so both halves stay readable.
