I'm planning on using both images, just for different places. So the Lighter one has now on my YouTube Channel. Thank you very much for your feedback, i appreciate the help

No worries! I like the first one I am no expert at this stuff. I design my own thumbnails but someone else kindly did my banner art for me!
