## Channel Logo Guidelines
Since finding a suitable logo for the channel is not always possible, this list contains only recommendations and should just help you in choosing a logo from several options.
1. If the channel logo has several versions, it is better to choose a color one.
That way there is less chance of the logo blending in with the background.

2. If the logo has changed over time, use the latest version.

3. If the channel has several versions of the logo, it is better to use the one used on air.

4. If there is a transparent background around the logo is better to cut it.
That way it's much easier to scale the logo later.
