Thumbnail Feedback Thumbnail Feedback

IΓÇÖve been working pretty hard lately on trying to improve my channel. IΓÇÖve been working on improving my thumbnails as well. Does anyone have any feedback on how this looks?

Some general thoughts.

I assume your target audience will know the game from the thumbnail? If not some detail as to what game this is would be useful.

The elements in the corners will be very small. Have you checked them at the size most people will see them at (e.g. YouTube search results, channel video list, etc.) to see if they are legible?

From a design perspective, it is good to leave a "gutter" around the image. So bring your text up from flush with the bottom and bring your avatar our from the corner. More like how you placed the oculus icon.

Outside of that, it will be a matter of watching your CTR and comparing it to your other thumbnails.

Thank you for the feedback, I’ll do my best to improve ☺️

There should be a logo of what the game you are playing for us to find out.

It kind of looks like a publicity or promotion shot for whatever game it is, so I'd more advice to go with a screenshot from a key moment inside the game personally.

I would also maybe remove the small elements and maybe change the font to something more thicker and readable

This is somewhat of an old thread but in terms of improvement to this thumbnail I suggest all small images in your thumbnail should be enlarged. Also bold the white text and increase its font size a bit more.
