How can you put a banner on top of your youtube channel page?

Q:  How can you put a banner on top of your youtube channel page?
Kind of like how this girl has one..

A:  You have to be a YouTube "Partner", which means you either have to be a film 
creator/director, a broadcaster, an advertiser, someone with a special project, 
or a person of special significance (like Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah).

But that's not enough to become a YT partner. YouTube has even more criteria:
-- You create your own "original" videos
-- You own all the appropriate copyrights
-- The content is 100% yours (no income splitting/sharing if money is involved)
-- You upload videos on a regular basis
-- Your videos are viewed by thousands
-- You're in an English-speaking country.

Only after you've finally been approved by the YouTube administrators/directors
will they give you the all special tools and codes required enabling you to have:
-- a customized special logo or "banner"
-- different capabilities of "scripting fonts"
-- your channel-page video on "autoplay"
-- "high-definition" quality to your videos
-- a "More From" section which automatically opens up above "Related Videos".

If you want to know more, go to the top right-hand corner of any YouTube page, 
click "help" and then type in the searchbox the word "partner".
