The old Golden Play Button design
The Golden Play Button is the second creator award. It is delivered to YouTubers with over one million subscribers. It has a similar appearance to the Silver Play Button, but is slightly larger and is instead made of gold-plated brass. It has the YouTuber's name embossed on it, along with the message, "For passing 1,000,000 subscribers.". It also comes with a YouTube letter, congratulating the YouTuber for their YouTube achievement.

Angry Prash's Gold Play Button
The older design of the Golden Play Button consisted of the black steel backdrop inside a window box with a golden, three-dimensional YouTube logo screwed onto it. Underneath, it read the creator's name and the message, "CONGRATULATIONS [creator name] For Surpassing One Million Subscribers," embossed.
Later on, the Golden Play Button received a new design. It was exceptionally different from the older design: the steel background is now sleek and golden in color, and no longer has the glass case. This was because of the amount of channels hitting 1 million subscribers, increasing the amount of play buttons being produced, which was expensive for the awards company, so they had to make a cheaper version. Unlike the previous design, the Button itself is no longer a 3-dimensional object but is now carved into the steel. The text below reads: "Presented to [creator name] For passing 1,000,000 subscribers."
