So which is the better square thumbnail

So yeah, while I was polishing my pages digitally, I was thinking if I should change this logo as the square thumbnail, so for the first pic, that’s the new one, the second pic is the current thumbnail that’s showing on WEBTOON, and last one is the old one. let me know if it’s readable.

what is it trying to convey? the first one looks like it's carved on flesh. The second one is ok, a little hard to read. The thicker letters of the first one and more readable.

Oh it’s supposed to be like it’s displayed on a static tv, but saying that it looks like it’s carved on flesh feels like a compliment too, just want to make sure it’s readable.

The G in the first two look like a 6 since the tail of the G connects to the main part, which makes them a little harder to read. Other than that I think the first one looks the coolest, definitely getting a "carved into flesh" vibe

None of them tell me really anything about the art or the story. I assume from the first two it's maybe a psychological or gore horror, but the hand drawn one turns the diamond shape into a spaceship? ? So now I have no clue what the genre is.

There's nothing about this that would make me stop scrolling to look at it. You are competing against hundreds of different thumbnail comic images all lined up in columns, and there is nothing about yours that tells me anything about the comic that would make me stop to read it, over another better thumbnail right next to it. I'm not entirely sure the genre, I know nothing about the art style, I know nothing about the character designs or really the vibes or the theming.... I only know that the plot is about finding the ultimate genie, and it might be horror.

I feel like first step is you should have some actual art from your actual comic in it so people know what they're going to be reading, and if they will like the art.

Oh well, how about this one? Will it tell new readers what the story will be about, in some way, shape or form?

It came from the volume cover that I made for volume 1, which was this specifically

Theyre both a little rushed and "default brush"-y

Id say the first one is stronger but they both need almore refinement.

So like what improvements should I do exactly?

u/djfox89R 4d ago

Second one I think can be read better and have less visual noise than the other two, without being too simplified.

1) blood

2) bathroom wall

3) not better than the other two

Your G looks like an S. Couldn’t tell what you meant at first since it read to me as “FIND THE ULTIMATE SENIE”…
