1)

2)

i know the second one is a little harder to read, but i feel like it's still interesting? a bit different from other thumbnails of mine...i wonder how i might go about making it easier to read..maybe i should just outline the letters instead of doing a shadow..HRM gimme ur thoughts!

I would mix the two of them, the pink background with the typography of the second one. it will make it better to read and I think will make a lovely contrast

The first one could benefit from the pink shape being bigger to provide contrast for more of the top and bottom part of the letters. It could also be a little darker. The second one would be better if the light yellow part of the text was a medium or dark value (maybe a blue to match the color palette). Love the photo though!

2021-11-24 22:27:46 +0000 UTCI might be a weird outlier, but the second one is easier for me to read because the letters stand apart from the background, where the pink connecting line in the first one blends it together. Lol I dunno if that makes sense? Either way, I'm excited for the new vid C:

2021-11-24 20:48:45 +0000 UTCi feel like the solid line kinda takes away from the fun dynamic of the lettering, so i might save it for a thumbnail that has a large blank negative space!

2021-11-24 20:25:14 +0000 UTCI love them both, but you're right, the 2nd is much harder to read, so I have to go with choice #1! I love the idea of #2, I bet it would be easier to read if you did a solid wavy line behind if like you did for #1

2021-11-24 20:22:59 +0000 UTCThe second one is so cool but you are defo right that it’s hard to read…maybe save it for a thumbnail where there’s a big blank spot in the picture?
