I WANT IT SIMPLE
If you go to my channel you can see the Logo and Header are designed to be simple and kind of modern.
That's what I want for my Thumbnails. I feel as my Thumbnails have been less than stellar lately and I would like anyone whose got any experience in graphic design to give my channel's better thumbnail design.
The Reward will either be in the form of a shout out or payment.

First of all I love your logo. It's simple, clean and visually striking. While your channel header is not unique (using Battlefield 3/4 promotional images) I do like that you're carrying over the orange colour aesthetic into your thumbnails. Well done!
For the future of your channels' branding, definitely keep the orange aesthetic but either create your own unique artwork or commission an artist/graphic designer to create one for you. While you do have a lot of Battlefield videos your channel covers a number of different games which your channel header and avatar don't convey.
With your thumbnails, while I did just praise the consistency with the overall brand they still need some work. Having orange text on an orage gradient with a very small black outline acting as seperation doesn't look good at all. Your later video thumbnails definitely look better but the orange colour falls flat on brighter backgrounds and is hard to read. I recommend keeping the orange/transparent strip from your earlier thumbnails and using white or black text to make it stand out.
Content wise your audio is extremely high quality which is great to hear. You should definitely lower the gameplay audio volume to make your commentary clearer to hear but to be honest there's nothing much I can advise you on. The more videos you upload, the more confident you'll become and thus the more natural your commentary will play off. Also try to keep a regular upload schedule so your potential viewers know they can expect a video from you on a particular day of the week.
Remember, you're competing against millions of people who have similar channels to yours. It'll take a while to break through and make it big but it will eventually happen if you remain persistent. You've been doing this for 3 years so I can tell you're not about to give up yet. Keep at it!"
