    What's a YouTube thumbnail worth? Let's take a look at what determines a creative's pricing when it comes to design on YouTube.
    An iceberg with the YouTube logo on its visible part. The gigantic submerged part can be seen under the water surface. Behind the iceberg, a text that says "The Price of Thumbnails: a thread by Ike Design"

    šŸ‡«šŸ‡· The French YouTube thumbnail meta is fascinating. Some big creators have taken a strong liking to photomanipulation, contacting artists and Photoshop wizards for their thumbnails rather than the more "typical" graphic designers... And @AziaTack is leading the charge.

    Dear YouTubers, When a good thumbnail is the difference between 10,000 and 1,000,000 views, hiring a designer is no time to get cheap. Every day, I see job postings in Discord servers that ask for incredible designs for very low prices! Invest in quality - results will follow.

    Did Riot Games downgrade their logo? This strange version was spotted in a recent livestream. Left: Before (2019) Right: New? (2022)

    Not even MrBeast is safe from this common design mistake - and had to swap out his latest upload's thumbnail just minutes after launch. What happened? It's simple, really. šŸ‘‡ 1/4

    The difference between an average and a good thumbnail often lies in the typography. It also affects the tone of the video a lot! I imagine... Left: An energetic YouTuber chatting about something the devs tweeted, and... Right: A soft-spoken video essay on the lore of Diablo 4.
