Celebrating 10 Years

Ten years. Holy crap I feel old.
For those who have been watching and supporting me since day one, thank you. I genuinely didn't know how far I'd get by doing what I do best, and that is making silly videos for you all.

To celebrate, I've gone through various hard drives and archives to locate as many of the profile pictures that I've used as possible. So as to not waste your time, however, I'm only including PFPs I've actually used.

2014

Earth drawing with text over it that says 'Evan's First Home Videos', with text saying 'A Evanland Channel' underneath both

One of the first official logos for Evan's First Home Videos. This was what my channel was called prior to late 2015. I didn't post much around this time and was mostly commenting on YouTube videos, mostly ones by leokimvideo as I really liked his content back then.

2015

Big text that says Y0Y0Evan with the tagline 'The official Evanland YouTube Channel! Let's Plays, Videos, and more!' The background is a grey gradient with a stickman character in each corner.

This was when the channel was renamed to Y0Y0Evan and I started to post videos more frequently about my interests. I renamed the channel around this time due to channels primarily targeted towards children thinking I was one of them, when in fact I wasn't.

2016

Text on a green background that says 'Y0Y0Evan' with a tagline stating 'Home of Reviews, Sparta Remixes, you name it!' Additionally, there is a stickman poking out of the top of the Y0Y0Evan text.

Created in celebration of 100 subscribers. Apparently this was a big deal to me back then, because I dreamed of getting a "bronze play button". If you know anything about YouTube awards, however, you'd know this "bronze play button" doesn't actually exist.

2017

Drawn stickman on a blue background looking up to the right

The first major implementation of the Y0Y0Evan mascot. Simply a cropped frame from the animated intro I created to coincide with that year's branding. I started posting more Roblox content around this time as well.

2018

Drawn stickman on a blue background giving a thumbs up

One of the first profile pictures I made on a then new HP laptop. I recall getting a rather funny comment about this profile picture and how it supposedly looked like a meatball.

Early 2019

Drawn human in a crude art style on a blue background giving a thumbs up. His shirt says 'Y0Y0Evan, since 2014'

An early version of the profile picture I used that year. I was going for a more "realistic" approach with this one as this was meant to be a special rebrand commemorating my 5th year on YouTube.
I used someone's fan art as a base (with their permission) and almost all of my friends hated it. Every now and then my friends and I would comment on how my hair in this one looks like, to put it lightly, "poop". Not to mention the proportions suck lol why did I think this was a good idea--

2019

Drawn human on a blue background giving a thumbs up. His shirt says 'YYE'

Not long after I made that PFP, I made another one per the request of my friends. This was my horrible attempt at trying to make one of those "modern corporate art style" mascots. This also sucks.

2020

Drawn human on a varied blue background looking to the upper left. His shirt says 'YYE'

Slightly better version of the 2019 PFP with a more natural pose — didn't have any ideas for that year so I just recycled the 2019 mascot and made some poses for the videos I wanted to make with it.

2021

3D model of Thomas the Tank Engine looking at the camera, smiling. The background is a blue gradient with a yellow accent.

Around this time, I made the short-lived decision to devote my channel completely to Thomas the Tank Engine content. This lasted until the end of 2022.
The Thomas model in this profile picture was made by Sodor Workshops.

2022

A silhouette of Thomas the Tank Engine on a blue background with a pattern of train tracks.

This was the final year I devoted my channel to Thomas content. This branding would eventually become the basis for the Y0Y0Evan Railway revival's style.

2023

Drawn human with a blue shirt and brown hair giving a thumbs up. The background is a blue gradient.

The last time I'd utilize a detailed mascot for my channel. Basically a redesign of the 2019 channel mascot to make it less garbage.

2024

The number ten with a stylized human head replacing the zero. The background is a blue gradient.

A special rebrand commemorating the 10th anniversary of my channel. The mascot is now part of the logo.
