Thank you for all of your feedback - here are some updates for you to tear apart. 🤣

Okay yes I think the trio is better❤️

Angie Woollard

Aw, I truly hope you don't think we are "tearing apart" your suggestions. We love them all! We are just giving you feedback, as requested (and trying to not get our toenails singed off...) xo

Angie Woollard

(Unrelated: Now I have "It's Raining Men" in my head, and I think that would be a hilarious cover to consider in the future...maybe April 1...? 🤔)

Tine

🤣 Hey, you ask for feedback, you get feedback🤭 still prefer the group, but the trio is more visible in a small thumbnail. 👏🤩

Jacklinka

The trio is better thanks to nice close up. Really better(er). :)

Åse M Bruun Lagnestål

I definitely think the trio is best as a thumbnail. Very clickable. 😊👍

Angie Woollard

And now to tear apart the updates 🤣: -I really like 1b. It's a bit tighter of a shot, and the font is easy to read. -The font in 2b combined with the reflection of the pants of Clone 2 makes it look like it says "The Riains of..." -Thumb 3 is also really really good. Decisions, decisions. I'm going to vote for 1b this time around. I think it's quite dramatic.

Jennifer

I guess I'm the odd man out...I like the solo. 😁

Lois McCray

The Trio and the new lettering placement is perfection.

Rebecca Hendricks

Yup. Trio for the win. Nice tight shot. I still like the solo, but a tighter shot would have been better. I want to see that throne!!!

Gretchen G

No no, not tearing apart! Refining into something even more beautiful. 😁 Honestly, any of these would be great. I like the trio best though.

Mikki Fullerton

Never ask a question you don't want an answer to.... ;) Trio this time, and the font is much more readable now, good change, and I especially like how the top line is smaller and centered over the bottom one. I for one miss the cool shading it had on it before, I believe from the background going 'through' the letters to a certain extent? Anyhow, while I can see it being said that the 'empty house' feel of the song comes across better in Solo with it being a lonely figure, I think your click-through rate will be better with Trio because 1. the faces are larger, 2. Jaime clone with his foot up on the throne all cocky is quite clickable and 3. the Lannister logo on the banner is framed really well in this shot as well as being larger, and GoT fans will recognize that (along with the throne shape and the o design in the font) and also be more inclined to click.

Novi Hallberg

Thank you for reading and considering our input, and im sorry if we are nitpicking too much. There really never is any bad choices 💖 Please dont let the dragon eat us.. 😊🐉 And the trio looks awsome 👍

Gamesz

Yes, the Trio is the one 😎

Tiina Nyrhinen

To be honest, I don't like any of these so much 🤔 Solo looks too vague, and other two kinda messy. The font or the color of it bothers me. My point being that I would scroll past these in You tube if I didn't know better.

Katie D

I'm looking the trio a little better this time around! 😄

Suzy Bailey

Oh me too! Heard the line and imagined many Geoffs walking into the picture, ha ha! 😁

Debs Badger

I make no apologies for picking things apart. If you don't want my opinion, don't ask me. 🤣

Sarah Reach

Well, I didn't have that in my head before - but I DO NOW! Thanks Angie!

Maria Stoycheva

Good choice, to ask again! The trio works for me - the closer shot, the mischievous look, the leather-clad Geoff...all good hooks for more YT views ;)

Barbara Binney

Still not crazy about the group shot, and it's a tough choice between solo and trio. I went with trio this time around.

Suzy Bailey

Never "tearing apart" only ever helpful hints and constructive criticism! On that note, I originally went for the solo pic, thinking of the thrill when the Geoffettes begin walking into shot however, I'm now definitely drawn to the trio shot which looks great. The font also looks good, much less squished! 👍😊💜

Patricia Schuman

Trio for me as well, with the solo as close second. Thank you so much for listening to our feedback, though now we also know not to be surprised if the thumbnail switches after you monitor the initial click rate! ;-)

Sarah Reach

You know, I was just wondering yesterday what you thought of us when you send a couple of set options, and instead we "tear apart" every aspect of the options presented to us and then proceed to "choose" a screenshot or video portion that you didn't even present for consideration. I took heart from the understanding that if this was more annoying than helpful, you probably wouldn't keep asking. I really enjoy being a tiny part of your creative process and appreciate so much that you take our suggestions into consideration. That said, I think that the Trio is absolutely perfect! Those facial expressions and stances are terrifying in the best way! If I were in audience to this group of warriors, I wouldn't dare NOT click!

Lori Templeman

I picked the trio, but these options are all improvements and look great.

Eileen Parkman

The Trio shot seems best: Title is easily readable and the attitude of the three characters is more intense and dramatic

Jordi S

Very tossed between the trio and the solo

Sarah Roberts

Maaaannn what I like is never the top. The solo one just looks so EPIC!

Tara Congo

We're a very opinionated folk 🤣 Thanks for taking our feedback into consideration! It's very cool being invited to be a small part of the process, though I hope we don't give you too much heartburn. Anyway, love the trio one!! That's perfect to me.

SunnyOutlook

Such tough choices! It’s the trio for me. I love the solo shot, but the trio seems to capture the essence of the song, not to mention the Geoff in leather. 🙂

Lexy Wolfe (aka Pam)

Trio looks awesome. At the worst, maybe pulling back *just* enough for the flanking Geoffs shoulders to not be clipped. Mostly for leather-clad Goeff. I *love* that outfit.

Dani

Well....threaten people to have toast as feet has really worked for you so far 😆 I really think that everyone here just wants to ad the even more to your superawesome more! It is honestly just very beautiful to be a tiny tiny part of your creative process. It looks like a pretty awesome collaboration to me 😁 Back to the project... I absolutely love the solo-the-throne-is-mine Geoff but the trio is just very intriguing. And no...no comment about the death in leather... 😋

Amanda Hovendon

Yeah I went with the solo shot before, but the trio shot looks waaay better cause it fills up space and it’s not crowded as the group one👍😁

Róisín

Still think solo is the most impactful/recognisable in thumbnail form!

Jacquelyn Koh

Sad to miss out on a Geoff, but I prefer the trio this time. The solo Geoff was an improvement though, but the trio fills the space with closer detail so it wins this round.

Anne

I had to vote for the Solo shot this time, although the Trio was so close as to be clipping heels. As a non-GoT watcher, I'd recognize the throne (or at least find it intriguing if I didn't recognize it). The trio works well, for many of the reasons already mentioned (throne and banner both identifiable, faces larger, costumes more recognizable), so I would not say no to the Trio shot. I, personally, think that the Solo shot is more impactful to the story being told by the song, but I also recognize that my thoughts aren't the same as most people who do watch the show. (Sorry, I may try it again in the future, but I was so sick the first time I watched the first episode that I couldn't figure out who or what was doing anything and I seriously thought the walls in the show were moving... I was SO SICK. So, it kind of scarred my interest in trying to watch it.) Also, I'm sincerely sorry if you ever do get the impression that we are trying to tear apart your ideas. I really don't believe that any of us want to do that. Like many active fan groups, we love to feel recognized and like we are a part of the process, so we respond to questions or requests for input to an extreme degree, but almost always with the intention to try to offer options that would improve the final product in our own minds. I trust that you know that and would tell us if there were any issues in how we present our feedback and thoughts.

Trio ... zoomed back just enough that no one's shoulder is cut off. This version of the text is much easier to read, and I like seeing the facial expressions. Being unfamiliar with GoT, I've been getting crib notes from friends who are fans. I've always been impressed with your attention to detail, even things that might not be apparent or have meaning to average viewers. The detail of "Jaime" not moving his right hand is really cool, especially knowing that you usually can't talk or sing without moving your hands. (My oldest sister and I are the same way; when we were little, Dad said the easiest way to get us to be quiet was have us sit on our hands.) Your Patreon members are a very opinionated lot indeed but I hope you know that's because we're invested, literally and figuratively, in your success. I want to help give you the best shot at reaching the widest audience so the masses can enjoy your awesome talent, too. My critiques/comments are offered in the spirit of helping you elevate something that's already great into something even better.

SunnyOutlook

Now that would be something to see and hear! Love it!

Cindy Barber

I'm still going solo, and I didn't make comments on the last one, but I will just say, I like the solo because it's so instantly recognizable. That throne is super easy to notice and see. Not that you can't see it in the other two, but they start to feel too busy (to my eye). So for this one, I feel like less is more, but we'll also see what catches YouTube's attention. It's possible one of the others would do better.

Christine Stromberg

Solo or Trio. Sorry but the asymmetry of the four just makes my brain go haywire.

Randiskye

Yesss! Exactly this!!
