Integrating the Play button & Time Bar into your Thumbnail

Has anyone else tried to implement the Play button & Time Bar into their thumbnails? Do I have too much time on my hands? Is this real life?!

Looks really professional

I tried messing around with that in the beginning but then got annoyed because the position of the play bar in the top selling tracks page is slightly different then on the portfolio items pages…so annoying

I have always wished that the play button was below the image entirely so we could use the whole space.

Very creative! Your logo looks nice btw!

@timmcmorris: I’ve looked a logos and the play bar on both pages and they are exactly the same. I’m using Chrome (Mac).

Hmm interesting… wouldn’t know yet, still have 0 sales haha

@MattijsMuller: Thanks! @ZtarrZound: Thanks!

I have in a minor way by adding some black lines to match the width of the bar. I did this after realising that my standard thumbnail was only displaying as ‘Studio 26’.

Oh yes that is nice what you did. I would suggest if you want to take it a step further, to remove the white around the black box and save the file as a PNG. Should look a lot cleaner since the white area is uneven.
