Which video streaming service's logo is a red 'N'?

The story behind the answer

Which video streaming service's logo is a red “N”? Netflix.

Netflix's red “N” is its instantly recognizable app and service icon. The ribbon-like letter is designed with folded, dimensional strokes, while the full Netflix wordmark commonly appears in red lettering. The color and compact symbol are used across apps, devices, promotional material, and the company's original productions.

Netflix began in 1997 as a DVD-by-mail business founded by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph in California. It introduced streaming in 2007, gradually shifting from physical rentals to an internet-based subscription service. Its original series and films later made the brand a major global entertainment distributor.

The “N” should not be confused with the red play-button imagery associated with YouTube or the castle-like branding of Disney. Netflix's icon is a letter rather than a play symbol. Another common point of confusion is the older full wordmark: both the word “Netflix” and the standalone red “N” identify the same service.
