YouTube has given its Silver and Gold Creator Awards a bit of a makeover.
The celebratory plaques for creators who have surpassed 100,000 and 1 million subscribers, respectively, were formerly composed of a medal model of the YouTube ‘play’ button logo housed in a picture frame (see below). Now, the the frames have been done away with in favor of rectangular silver and gold-colored plaques with the play button — and the names of winning channels — embossed.
The former Silver and Gold Creator Awards.
While the former Silver Creator Award was primarily made of nickel and the old Gold Creator Award was made of gold-plated brass, according to tech review channel JerryRigsEverything, the new awards are reportedly made of higher quality materials. The Diamond Creator Award
, for creators who have surpassed 10 million subscribers, remains unchanged. (From the outset, it was a frameless play button with a multi-faceted design and crystal center).The company announced the new look on Twitter, and also via a compilation video that sees a handful of creators — including Lamarr Wilson and Shonduras — celebrating the honor. The new awards will be available to creators who apply after March 29 — though YouTube reiterated earlier this year that it distributes the plaques at its own discretion.
