Work In Progress looking for opinions on overlay idea

[CelticSpike]

hey guys,
I am experimenting with some ways I can give my lets play videos a distinctive look, and created a PSP style border and applied it to my most recent video
and would appreciate some feedback

Not sure if it really ADDS anything to the presentation, or just looks dumb, or maybe its a good idea and it just needs tweaking
Let me know

It's a lot better than just having black borders

I used to do that when playing Pokemon in Nuzlocke haha

thanks man. do you think the dimensions/proportions look ok? screen size big enough, placement of my avatar and logo look ok?

That is such a hard thing to judge. I couldn't say one way or another (who could?). Really need to AB test it.

I used to use a weird white border to give my thumbs a different shape in search (problem was dark mode lol). Nobody ever had a single good thing to say about those thumbs... but several years later 3 of my top performing videos still got those idiotic thumbs.

Agreed I am not sure myself if its a good idea, but I am going to run with it anyway for the next few videos and see if makes any difference.
thanks for the input
