I expect this one to be very polarizing. Let your voice be heard, but in a very stately, cosmopolitan, sophisticated way. 

Please note that the thumbnails ARE NOT uploaded in order... patreon always does this and it's a continual itch i cannot scratch. Thank you in advance for your help!

4 and 5 are sooo good. Those have my votes!

Olivia

5 has my vote, but they’re all cool.

Stephanie Leonard

2 and 5 are both great but I love the hair in 5. It looks like you're about to flip it.

Rosie Boughen

I mean, my *real* vote is for the broom shot you gave us earlier on the “Soon” post, but if I’m picking from these 5, it’s definitely #5, no doubt! 😁

María Gabriela

Okay, hear me out: I think you should put the thumbnail that you used as a "teaser" picture a while ago (the one that shows you lying on the floor). That way you don't ruin the surprise of your "transformation"! Though this is just a suggestion.

Rosie Boughen

Or possibly a screenshot of Jeoph & Jeff’s faces after the butt wiggle…

Jordi S

#1 or #5 for me.. Choices choices. Trying to decide ;) #1 is clearer, but #5 has "the look" 😉

Olivia

🤣🤣

candi lunsford

Could we get #5 in the merch store? Pretty pleeeeeeeease?😁

Ryn P

Even though I do have faves, these are all really good options for a thumbnail!

Jennifer L. Cramp

From these choices, I definitely prefer #5, with a runner up of #1.

Debs Badger

*sits on the comfy couch eating popcorn* 🍿

TheNightShiftDragon

All lovely pics, but I don't feel like the blue ones does the humor in this video justice 🤔 I vote for the orange background, it's a bit more cheeky 😉

Leslie Plasencia

Now here’s a question could we save these options and use them for Fan art or does it have to be kept secret?

Darryl Weatherly

I like number five the best. Hey Geoff looks like you’ve been working out lately those biceps are growing.

Debs Badger

It's fair game AFTER the video is released publicly, IMO.

Emily Dion

An itch like a wool sweater on the brain

Ilona Dever

I voted for #2 but agree that the broom shot is better!

J.L.

Indeed, let's see them get a handle on that one! 😉

Mikki Fullerton

2 - Light is distracting 4 - Not enough face showing, too busy of a background for a small thumbnail 3 - Funny face, hand goes out of frame 1 - Good choice, but a bit serious for a funny video, still, would show text very well against the dark curtain 5 - Best look conveying the feeling of the video

Annie A.

Can I suggest the one used in the Patreon preview? With you lying on the floor? That shot was a real winner!

Leslie Plasencia

So after his video goes public we can do as we please

J.L.

I concur, but could they 'handle' that one? 😊

Tara Congo

I think 1 and 2 seem a little too serious for the tone of the video, although they're really (really) nice pics. 3 is a little blurry. 4 has a really fun vibe to it - I'm torn between it and 5, which is just great for all the reasons. 4 might be a little too zoomed out from you for a thumbnail, though, so... 5 it is! ETA: I see some comments saying that the broom shot should be used, which I get because it was awesome, but I don't know if it's bright enough to be eye-catching as a thumbnail on small screens? That's a whole lotta grey.

Debs Badger

They're all from the video, so they're no longer a secret once it's public. I would never give carte blanche in the phrasing of "as we please," though. Some lines shouldn't be crossed.

María Gabriela

I don't think ANY of us handled that shot. That's why I think it's perfect!

Cara Zylla-Paterson

I’m only voting for #5 because the one of Geoff on the floor with the broom wasn’t one of the choices. THAT ONE is the true winner.

Gretchen G

5, definitely! I don't know why, it just immediately jumped out at me.

Helen A

5, but I agree with the other comments that the preview pic with the broom was the best one. That shot was cute and funny, and it made me super-curious to know what the video would be about.

Eileen Parkman

As much as I love #5, we can't see a third of your face, including one eye. I vote for #3 as it shows your whole face. <3

Rosie Boughen

Just don’t sit in the 3rd folding chair, coz it gets knocked down mid-video 😉

Kelley ONeal

I already have 2 autographed pics, why not make it 3. Plus a still shot from "Hoist The Colours" autographed by all but Jose. They are on wall next to Queen poster and room on other side for ELVIS movie poster.

Debs Badger

Not sure how you confuse a comfy couch with a folding chair, but aight. 🤣

Cindy Barber

So I am torn between 1 and 5. 1 has a great background for putting text in front of, you are nice and clear and crisp. 5 is fun, has a great look, grabs your attention and would also allow for a title to have a nice place I think. So I think my ultimate vote would be 5 of these choices. Although I do like the suggestion of using the broom to keep from "spoiling" your transformation.

Rosie Boughen

Geoff, do another poll between #5 and the broom shot! Let’s determine the real winner here!

Ann Durham

#5, but honestly think that your preview thumbnail (on the floor with the walking fingers) is the one best for this song.

Tara Congo

You didn't give us a title font to bicker about this time 😆

Lois McCray

I am torn between #1 & #5. But the one with you lying on the floor was the best.

Judy Wilde

I voted for #1. #2 is a little busy, and the rest give away a little too much of what is to come. But I have to agree that your original shot with the broom would get the most attention without giving away the whole video. By the way, Hoist the Colours is usually touted as Voiceplay’s reactor killer. I predict that this one will be yours!

Sarah Reach

Uh, Debs... Did Jeff give you that popcorn?

Shirley B Karr

I think the real poll should be between the preview shot on the floor with the broom and #5. If our only choices are these five, I voted for #5: Love the mischievous grin, it's flattering (even though we can't see half of your face) and conveys the fun energy of the song. But I can't help thinking "ouch" at the bruise under your fingernail. If you go with that for the thumbnail, maybe just Photoshop it out. We're too busy looking elsewhere during the video to see it but it's really noticeable in this still shot.

Debs Badger

Uh...no... popcorn from the 19th/20th would be awfully stale by now. 😝

Debs Badger

Noone is gonna notice it on a thumbnail *rimshot* 🤣

Sarah Reach

Polarizing, huh? Nah, you left out the title placement and font, usually the part we get picky about. #5 is clearly the favorite. It's that direct eye contact - it draws the viewer in. (I also love #1 and #2, good background for titles, but as awesome as you look in those, they are a bit less dynamic.)

Jay Fritz

Well, I'm losing I guess, but I think you should send me an autographed number one. We didn't even get a shot at the one on the floor with your fingers on the broom. :-)

Barbara Binney

Tough choice between 1, 5, and the preview pic of you on the floor, but since that’s not an option, I went with 5. There’s more room for title placement in #1, but I really like the eye contact in #5.

Angie Woollard

That’s a tricky one. They are all so dynamic but I picked one with eye contact. #1 and 2 convey too serious a tone - this video is cheeky and playful. The background of #4 is too busy. #5 is a perfect combination of vibrant, dynamic, playful, charismatic, and sultry.

Angie Woollard

I disagree - that gives away the reveal of the trio, which is a hilarious surprise.

Sarah Roberts

Orange being a favorite color made it an easy choice

Kelley ONeal

I agree. Kazandra Brock and Sarah!

Brice

Orange is the new thumb.

Dana

i'd vote for the shot of you layin' on the floor of the stage with the broom. otherwise, #4 'cuz it is the most Elvis. ♥

Novi Hallberg

Im torn between 1 and 5 5 captures the vibe of this song best in my opinion. The red/orange is eyecatching and pulls you in, tho i wish your hair was juuust a tad to the side so we could see both eyes. 1 is a really good picture of you, but the blue and stillness conveyes a more slow/sad tone than there actually is. And the floor/broom picture we cant choose might not be so flashy, but makes one very curious of whats going on. That one wouldnt have room for text tho.

Novi Hallberg

I dont think Jeff would care if they got stale, and would still share them 😅

Shannon D

I liked #1, #2, and #5. But after looking at them at the size that I would see them while scrolling through YouTube, #5 definitely came out ahead for a thumbnail. FWIW, I'm seeing the attachments in numerical order on the post, so it worked on my end at least :)

Debs Badger

Then *he* can eat the stale stuff. I'm eating fresh popcorn.

Ellen L Brownell

Although I voted for #5, my true favorite is floor picture.

Tine

Getting smarter about things. I like it. Now only if we could get Patreon to follow😆 hmm some good options here but it seems to be decided

Jacklinka

Wait, wait .. where's the title?! We want to vote for the final look.

Paulene Thorne

So the real winner appears to be the teaser floor shot. Definitely would have got my vote. But then I opted for #1 coz I like the blue.

Randiskye

My unofficial vote is for the broom/floor and it seems to have won the commenters' straw poll as well, so I went with #5. It captures the liveliness and tongue-in-cheek humor vibe of the song and especially the video, has a good visual connection to draw the viewers to the video with the color, and your expression is so mischievous! Also, #1 & #2 look a little too filtered, the hand & hair look overly airbrushed. (You don't need it yet, 😊!) So-#5 please.

Tom Smith

Definitely 1. The rest have an over abundance of garish tones that I just don't like. The first one is very good, although maybe you could play with the brightness or contrast just a touch.

Dawn Ours

"Let your voice be heard, but in a very stately, cosmopolitan, sophisticated way. "??? GEOFF I'm a Wisconsinite !!!! The Best I can Do is Be SOBER! *Chuckle* Ok ok Maximum Effort....(long pregnant pause sigh If you know you know) The Wide shot gives more Hints or allows someone Not a Patreon to try and guess what the story might be and has a lot of potential Red Herrings in that shot.... I really do appreciate Your Presence photogenically in #5 though it is a bit brightly lit ( background wise that's a lot of light to make darker curtains look orange) So? whatca Think ? Did I nail it? Do I get a Gold sticky star for good behavior ??? *chuckle

SunnyOutlook

This was a hard decision to make. I love both #1 and #5, but #5 eventually stole my heart.

Dani

Although I am very much drawn to the broomancing one like everybody else, I would consider the very lovely closeup in front of the sunkissed orange illuminated curtain (that would make No. 5) a marvelous and enticing one to choose. But I might like the blue and not to bright backround of the first one better if I am allowed to ad that, for the orange might be a tad to bright for everyones sophisticated eyeballs. I also allow myself to be considerably sad not to be able to bicker about the fond and the way the letters are sticking through your hair and how the space between the letters and the size is nowhere near matching the overall composition, but well....

Jay

🤣🤣🤘👍👏🤣🤣

Rachel Blackthorne

The orange background of number 5 is less flattering and, with my stupid dumb eyesight issues, makes you look 2d and cartoonish...which, though hilarious, puts me firmly in the camp of #1 (the blue background)... But...you know people will watch. Whatever you choose, your fans will watch...♥️

Alex Walker

I think #5 is the best here, that's what I voted. But I prefer the Patreon teaser with you on the floor next to the broom, I think it looks great and it's funnier. They all look great, anyway.

Dominique

Ohhh will you and VoicePlay release on the same day back to back??? This would blow minds!!!! And possibly break the internet! Somebody’s got to do it - might as well be you 😊

Suzy Bailey

No preview broom choice, damn! Oh well, I guess I'll have to go for #5 then. A little more fun and cheeky and it made me smile cos it looks like you're about to do a hair flip! 😉💜

Katy Mullaney

both 1 and 5 are super sexy but 5 is the definite winner. it will definitely stop browsing prospects!

Lisa Pockat Bork

So hard to choose! I love all of them but I am going with 5

Angie Woollard

*looks at poll numbers* Maybe not quite as polarizing as you thought, Geoff? LOL

Ashfae

Out of this group number 5, but add me to the chorus of those who think the one on the floor with the broom was the most unusual and intriguing!

Amanda Hovendon

I voted for #5 but from reading the comments, I think we all agree that the photo of Geoff "romancing" that broom in the teaser post is the best one lol

Jorre

I like 5. Mainly because there's eye contact. 4 is a little too off center for my taste and 3 doesn't completely catch your hand motion. The lamp bothers me in picture 2. Picture 1 is a good runner-up. I actually like the blue/purple from 1 better than the orange in 5. Goes better with the Elvis theme. I'll shut up now.

Mary Mullins

The pink background is better in my opinion. And number 4 shows more action.

Amanda W

I think we should have a new poll between Thumb 5 and the boom. I'll still pick 5, but so many people keep bringing up the broom. ETA: You could say #5 has swept up the competition... like a broom. 😛

Amanda W

😂 I'm a mom, but I've got dad jokes too.

Édua Elster

That mischief smile on 5. is just perfect!

Cupcake aka Toni

I'm with the crowd who really hoped your teaser shot would be one of the choices, but voted for number 5 as our second choice. (Why, yes, that word choice was deliberate... did it work? 😗)

Kimberly Friend

I think we know which one the vast majority likes. Lol

Shirley B Karr

But did you notice what he did to the thumbnail? Owie is airbrushed out.

Amanda Hovendon

This poll was a little too easy! Did you do that on purpose? 😂

Ilona Dever

Wait, the broom gang won??

Shirley B Karr

I just thought it should be part of the poll. After seeing both images with the text, I kind of like the colors and energy of the mic shot looking straight at the camera. But they're both good.
