Moved to channel branding

I have a feeling there may be a bit too much going on in them, make sure you view them at thumbnail size also as that's when it will mostly be viewed at. I like number 2 as well but once you resize I think 3 might look better.

what u mean with resize?
its 1280x720 (max for youtube)
or do u mean the parts in the picture itself?

 

[Koala_Steamed]

When you look at it on youtube this is what people usually see. Don't resize the image just make sure you check it at the size it will be viewed.

Doesn't actually look too bad at this size just can't read any of the text.

Ohh that one looks nice! Great work

I think without the white space looks better. Is the foreground image going to be a ss of the episode?

Maybe just have the number by its self without the part? Or you could use the "part" text smaller than the actual number as that's what is important.

thanks for the advices and ideas
but i remade it from ground

I would say the first on.

Your more recent one (the one that says #74) is definitely the best. With thumbnails, simple and sweet is the way to go. Your top priority isn't "does this look good". It's "can people see what this is/says from far away or when shrunk down" and THEN "does this look good".

yeah i thought that too i stick with this kind of thumbnail layout for my vidis
