YouTube + Ponies = Colors

[Azura 1,107]

As a daily YouTuber, I've noticed that they've added this feature where when you type in a pony's name in the search bar, the top grey bar will change to the color of the pony.

 

I really hope they won't remove this because it's awesome. It would be such a pity of it only lasted for a week or two.

 

What do you ponies think about it?

[LittleRawr 679]

I love it! It's seriously awesome

 

I hope as well that they don't remove it. Although when YouTube announced this feature on their facebook page, there was a lot of hate...

Wow, that's awesome! 

Gotta love Google, they're always popping out creative stuff for YouTube, G+, and Search.  I'm going to have to try this.

[Agent505 661]

If you search for "ponies" too, it shows an animation of pony sprites walking back and forth across the videos. 

(I was informed of this by @Ano170, so I can't take credit for its discovery)

 

I think it's pretty cool, although it's a shame it doesn't stay when you search for another video, it'd be cool if you could pick a colour and then you would have to research another pony to change the colour again, leaving it the colour of your choice while you watched other videos.

Nice! I've only noticed this now ha ha

 

Thank's for posting. I really hope Google/YouTube keep it like this for a while would be awesome if it stays.

Its really cool !

 

I'm thinking it might just be a part of geek week, but hopefully it will stay around for at least a little bit longer !

[Bucky McGillyCuddy 956]

That's actually really awesome. Having Youtube do a subtle shout out to fans of MLP is just one more reason for me to love the site.

[~Rule 63~ Lyeco 527]

Very cool!

 

I tried it, it's kinda nice that some of the google's members must be a brony.

 

Google, you are not disappoint. and you are good to us bronies

[Mars Caramel 319]

Really? I never actually noticed this until now. It's too bad I try to be as specific as possible when searching for videos on YouTube.

 

Still, I hope this stays. It's quite a neat nod to the fandom from Google.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

I just tried it and it's amazing. I really hope they keep this up 'cause this is just downright clever. Giving a little shoutout to the brony fandom.

I think this is anything but a "nod to the fandom", I think this is just an attempt from Google to be "in the game", not make it seem like they're behind when it comes to popular internet fads and such. I guess it's a nice feature, but it's really laughable seeing how Google are trying to connect to the people using Youtube

Thanks for telling us about it! Google just got 20% cooler a lot more respect from me. This almost makes up for the Chromebook i'm forced to use! 

[Vertigo_95 572]

That is cool and yea I really hope Youtube do keep it.

I know how you feel with the Chromebook but I find that it is better than nothing.

[Onylex 2,837]

This is pretty awesome! I wander why google decided to do this though... is only here for geek week or is it here to stay as a permeant feature? Well, at any rate its pretty epic that they gave a shout out to bronies. 

[Smarts 1,622]

I found out about yesterday and think it's funny and a nice nod to us. Hope it's a permanent feature because I really like it. It's just a simple search bar color change, but it's a cool little shout out to bronies. Also, it adds some color to Youtube.

[Princess Periwinkle 3,775]

Yeah I found this yesterday, it's pretty awesome! It still works today, which is great as well. But what's up with the color for Fluttershy?

[SuperFlapjack 32]

Fluttershy's colour seems more like Applejack's rather than her own colour anyways, great addition, all the haters of mlp shouldn't complain, they won't see it anyways, unless thay have a secret

[Wardaddy 470]

Wow, this is pretty cool! Somepony at Google must be a brony, or Google are just being friendly towards the fandom. Either way, this is a clever shout-out to us bronyfolk.

[Princess Periwinkle 3,775]

It's been a month, and not only are the colors still there, they fixed Fluttershy's color! That's pretty rad if you ask me.

I really like this idea a lot. I suppose YouTube has bronies? It still works so i guess this would be a permanent thing, but wouldnt it be cool if it had their cutie mark as well?
