Thumbnail Review

Hey! I'm working on optimizing my older videos' metadata, and I thought that I might as well establish a better thumbnail scheme. Before, I didn't focus too much on keep my thumbnails consistent.

I'd like you to hit up my channel, and, notice that some the thumbnails have a huge heart in the middle (my logo) and have white text with black borders. Please let me know if this is attractive to you, and if it would draw you in to watching the video.

Thanks!!

I like it, it reinforces your brand very well and if I saw any of them anywhere else I'd remember that it was your channel that does that (which is a good thing).
It most likely would make people more likely to click it.

Thanks! Just what I was hoping for. Just had to make sure though, because sometimes it could be only me thinking that xD Now I've gotta do it for all my thumbs!
 
I had a strong reaction to this. :P Please move the heart somewhere else if you want to brand with it, it looks and feels like you're trying to cover up the thumb photo which I believe most people wouldn't like. Best place would be one of the upper corners, most likely the left. I personally also would move the heart from over your mouth in your avatar pic. The hearts also make the thumbnails too busy, best practice is to keep them simple. Good luck
