No Logoenthusiasts rejoice! YouTube today renounced its hegemonic branding practices by enabling a feature called "modest branding," which removes the YouTube logo from the bottom control panel of embedded videos. The move is a consideration for professional video clients who might want to use YouTube to host their videos but are turned off by the amateur connotations of its logo.
To enable modest branding, you simply add a ?modestbranding=1 tag after the url in your embed code. See a modest player in action over at Read Write Web. If you hover over the title of the video, it'll tell you that it's YouTube and you can click on it to take you there.
