Everyone can use this thread to post their thumbnails or logos in for feedback. I'll start. (The logos and characters will constantly be changing size due to the difference in their designs.) Are these nice and clean and most importantly do they stand out? One day I'll have a proper logo instead of "THE COLLECTION"

I like the above thumbnails, the text is easy to read even know the image is small which is a big plus. Just a piece of advice on thumbnails try not to make them look too generic this is a mistake I made with my Perfect Dark Series (I feel anyway please correct me if I am wrong). I set out to find the coolest image of Jo I could, which I think I did. I also wanted consistency so if people seen the thumbnail in the related videos they would know it was mine too but the problem I feel is that when it came to uploading a new video or when you see them all lined up it just looks too generic so instead I decided to have the background as an image of the video. This way people see a better preview and have more of an idea on what the video is about, also it is not the type of image everyone will have already so it is a little more unique. I will let you be the judge when you see them beside each other

When I did a playthrough of Final Fantasy X I encountered the problem of the thumbnails looking the same and quickly changed them to relevant images. Only problem is like with yours the Joanna one looks real nice and the ones with the levels in the back don't look as nice but it allows for people to quickly scan through the videos and pick the one they want.
I hate making thumbnails lol. I can never tell if they're easy to see or not.

Well at least we can agree on one thing, I hate thumbnails too! The problem is they are so small you have to make a lot of compromises. It doesn't matter how cool it looks, what matters is will someone click on it and guessing what someone will click is almost impossible.

Yeah but then only you and horny teens will watch my videos! You say that but my age demographic always seems to be 25-34 at 35% and 18 - 24 at 33%. unless you're talking about Mexico where 70% of Mexicans who watch my videos are between 13 and 17. On the internet cats and boobs will always equal clicks.

Joking aside, the last thing I want to do is trick people into clicking on an irrelevant thumbnails, its just click bait and I hate when it happens to me. I like Thumbnails where what you see is what you get. So from now on I am going to try and get a good preview image with either minimal or no text for 2 reasons. 1. It's more honest and personal and 2. I won't have to spend hours working on bloody thumbnails again!

I hate making thumbnails, I'm so glad the design I came up with for mine is something that can be slapped together in minutes.
Oh and I hate the current trend of thumbnails where people just photoshop their face on to characters. It's so boring and everybody does it. Why? Why? WHY? It makes no sense.

I haven't played Enslaved yet but I'm gonna try it soon and if I like it, it might be good for my next episode of The Collection. I made a thumbnail of it and I was wondering if it stands out I've got some Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 thumbnails that I would like someone to pick which one they think is the best, but they need to go into the next post because I can only fir 3 attachments in one post.
