Yes, you heard that right. YouTube's new redesign project's codename is “Cosmic Panda”. That's one more addition to the Google surprise package with their new social network Google+ and additional changes to Google calendar and redesigns on Gmail. This news has been doing the rounds in the internet fraternity and online circles for quite sometime now. In case you've missed it, here's the update in a nutshell.
YouTube has been quite a sore-eye in terms of user-friendliness, with a clunky and rather cramped interface. This redesign project is going to change all of that, giving it a fresh and slick look with easy navigation options. Along with a new layout for videos and playlists, YouTube is also throwing in better editing tools.
YouTube has already started inviting users to test the experimental newly designed site and give their feedback. You can activate the new version of YouTube by paying a little visit to Cosmic Panda and switch back to the classic version whenever you feel like.
The Pros and Cons of YouTube's Cosmic Panda

The look and feel is so much more better than the classic version of YouTube Playlists are always visible on the right panel and the organization is neat The viewing experience is totally in your control. You can manually change the size of the video Scrolling through videos of a selected channel is way easier now The top right section gives you a quick view of your channel stats like upload views and subscribers
