Masks are everywhere. Tens of billions. Once used they become waste. But is it? We got some factory rejects sent to us and did some R&D to see whether we could make anything out of it. Check the video below to see what we made 💪

Now, we could do with some help to choose the best thumbnail for Youtube. As you know good thumbs drive traffic and views, so a good thumb is crucial to grab Youtube wanderers so they can get to know Precious Plastic. Here are the options:

Option 1


Option 2


Option 3


Let us know your preferred option and what you think about the video :)

Sorry, but i don´t understand the options

Kaegh Allen

Option 2 with the font of Option 1 :)

Olivier Ch

Option #2, but with "Facemasks" instead of just "Masks"

Davide Onestini

Damn, this video is awesome! Nice idea to try out with masks. Great job guys! :)

Option 2, but I might rephrase to specify wasted masks: "What to do with wasted masks?"

Ben Naylor

#1 is click baity (and thus might perform better?) #2 is less click baity "I want to know more" and a bit of "But how?!?!" #3 is edutainment catalog sort of thing. But also the To => From, feels around the wrong way, but I don't know why. From => To might be better?

Thanks ben, nicely read. We also have some unease with #3. But voting seems to be deciding away from it 💪

Max Bosoy

How do you guys automate the process of separating masks from rubber bands? Or will you divide it manually? This is extremely slow and not hygienic.

One Army

Hey max, at this point was still done manually. The goal of this R&D project was to see if masks would even melt. I guess the next step would be to streamline the process to make it better.

Steven Bond

this is such a good way of deciding, and i am also for option 2, and it's strangely satisfying and reaffirming when you know it's the most popular. I'm not usefully one for designing-by-committe, but somehow in this instance it just feels fair and wise. One Army - you're ace.

One Army

Hey Steven! We design and prevet each design internally before putting them out on public polls. Which means we're happy with any outcome, even though we still have our own preferences :) Actually, that's also how we designed the Precious Plastic logo, public voting. Was a nice community collab and couldn't be happier with the end result ♥️

Option 2 tells more of a complete story, but it isn't super clear, especially when viewed at thumbnail size (way smaller, especially on mobile). The products are too small. Stick with just one, the biner, and make it bigger. Also, as Ben noted above, option one is better click bait. It asks a question, and you could potentially throw a blacked out carabiner on the right side kind of like this image: https://www.outcyders.net/images/quizzes/4/question1.jpg

I will go for a fourth option and use something like "How to recycle facemasks" instead of using the verb "to do". We all here know that we refer to recycling when using the verb "do" but not all visitors from YouTube will know that. We have a split second of attention from each visitor, better to be super clear. Design-wise I prefer the first option, since it has less details and the caption usually is small.

One Army

Hey, Fabio thanks for the feedback! We're a little resistant to use the word "Recycle" as it is quite loaded and mistrusted by now. I know we use often elsewhere but for this video we wanted to avoid to use recycle even though I agree it goes more to the point.
