Your first custom thumbnail

I Love YTtalk
Anyone here ever just look at their videos, and stare at their first ever custom thumbnail?

Everytime I do, I just think of how much better I have gotten at graphics.
 
These are all of the thumbnails I've made for my 9 videos. So, the coming soon trailer is earliest and the NNN #4 is latest. What do you think of them? Have they improved? I'd say the first one isn't as good as the others. Maybe not facepalm worthy though :p

My very first thumbnails consisted of a generic Minecraft wallpaper background with generic looking text. You can say it was quite....generic :P
 
My very first thumbnail was just a black background with a few renders slapped on top. Looking back, I do think it was kind of sucky. XD That's why I'm using a colored background now. :D Lol
 
I don't even know anymore what my first thumbnail was. It happend a very long time ago, but I think it wasn't that special.
 
Personally, I think mine are much better. I put more time into the thumbnails now, something flashy but not overdoing it. I've found that people tend to pass over the really obnoxious thumbnails.

(If you want to compare, my new video is in the signature so yeah compare away)
I think my editing has become a bit less specific background stuff (ie instead of spending ages cutting the background I keep in in but paint over edges and stuff. It's also become less informative but in my opinion more eye-catching (maybe I don't know I like making them though).

Nice to see the progression
