When YouTube Music Key beta started, it made sort of a collage of album covers top banner image for each topic page (Topic pages are where you search an artist, and there is an auto-generated page about that artist, not owned by the artist or label, but created by YouTube automatically).
Then YouTube changed it to a solid red banner for several months.
Subtle development in YouTube Music Key
Today it’s a banner with a subtle new pattern of colors.

This indicates that YouTube is moving YouTube Music Key beta into it’s next phase. The service is expected to move out of beta into full launch in September 2015.
