If the article is supposed to primarily be about a YouTube channel and not the person behind the channel, then it should be revised accordingly so that it's not written like it's a WP:BLP, categorized like it's a BLP, and using an infobox ({{ Infobox YouTube personality}}) which seems to be for individuals and not channels. The formatting of the article is that of a BLP and the focus of the article seems to be Gray, not the channel. Moreover, it appears that there is still confusion over this on the article's talk page, It also appears the CGPGrey has even comment about bringing back the logo image in Talk:CGP Grey#An image of his face, spoiler alert. Subjects of articles do not have any real editorial control over article content, and images are content. Moreover, the approval of the copyright holder of non-free image is not needed for the file to be used; the use of the file, however, does have to be in accordance with WP:NFCCP. If Gray wants to use the logo as the primary means of identifying him in the article, he can release it under an approriate free license of his choosing; otherwise, relevant policy should take precedance over his personal opinion. Wikipedia wouldn't allow a non-free book cover, non-free painting, non-free sports team logo to be the identifying image in an article about an author, a painter, an athlete anymore that we would allow the non-free image of an author, painter, athlete president to be the identifying image in an article about a book, a painting, or a sports team. The article cannot try to be half blp and half YouTube channel article and then try to use non-free images in the same way. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 12:15, 2 May 2017 (UTC) reply
