I figured something out

Glad to hear you're making custom thumbnails now!

I do them for our channel, and I truly believe that it helps get more views when my video shows up in search results!
 
Yes, thumbnails can be very eye catching :) Not only that..I believe they give an over all nice look to your channel. Last year, I decided to start doing all of my stuff in pink and black (since I love those combinations) and I really feel like the channel art depicts me :) Well I'm just going to move this to the Strategies & Technique Advice section of the forum :)
 
Congrats on figuring out about custom thumbnails. They are fun to make even if they're simple like mine tend to be.
 
Mine are too but yea its fun. My profile picture is one of them and every pose I make does make me giggle a bit lol
 
Another tip. When you make your custom thumbnail, make custom sizes so that you can share your video on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Google Plus, etc.
 
It's quite hard to read the text on the thumbnails, plus you shouldn't put pictures of yourself in it, unless they're high quality.
