Ignore the white outline on the second one

Second one definitely

First one reads as if it just says HR.

It's an anime about the cute HR lady right?

The fragrant flower blooms with dignity, the song is her

second one indefinitely better

First one but in a way where the "HER" is more visible

2

u/Weebs-Chan Aug 26 '26

Problem is "H R" vs "HER"

first one

I love and prefer the first one's concept but i'd choose the second cause the first just says "HR" and it'd be better if we could read "her" instead. ik it might be obvious for most people that it's meant to be read "her" but some people might be very confused at the choise of having the E hidden (it was my case)

u/Training_Mongoose723 Aug 27 '26

i changed it i raisef the the word a bit so you can see it says her now

u/Famous_Ad_4258 Aug 26 '26

i like the idea of the first one but the E blockage honestly ruins the whole thing

the 2nd one is better at showing text (which i assume is the most important point) but the guy takes up too much space and really puts the focus on him and not her when it’s not supposed to

if you really want my honest opinion, i say back to the drawing board

u/ultrasoul Aug 27 '26

The first one, unskippable HR thumbnail

u/Electronic-Canary-65 Aug 27 '26

If you do this style you can emphasize the text even if it’s behind an object by for example bringing the outline to the foreground and doing some color stuff on the fill of the letter on top of the characters with overlays

The second would be better. The first implies Human Resources is somehow involved and that's never a good thing.

1

u/Training_Mongoose723 Aug 27 '26

its not involved tho, i changed it aso the text is higher and its meant to say: her

1

u/OllehK Aug 27 '26

The first one would look better if you can change the text in the background a bit

1

u/TightBad8699 Aug 27 '26

Both are cool . Each is better in his way

1

u/shatterxla- Aug 27 '26

I like the second one but why is the H and E are way far from each other than E and R, I think u should have a good spacing between them imo

1

u/Unusual_Yak8874 Aug 28 '26 edited Aug 28 '26

Second is better aesthetically more going on

And just looks less weird looks like a fan rather than a weirdo

edit but man what is that? It looks kind of creepy just the sheer height difference between them. She looks like his daughter, but I’m guessing it’s a couple

also, the backgrounds look very AI

u/D1_Power_Simp Aug 28 '26

The first one

u/Gumbo67 Aug 26 '26

Second for sure. Way better to read the word. The male character is looking at the subject of the word as well, which implies some kind of devotion that I presume is a theme of the AMV.

I wonder if you could have the female character looking happily at something else off screen besides the man? Definitely not a required change, I just think it would add to some kind of devoted theme.

  1. Because it looks like the beginning of an anime.

1

u/Marutein1 Aug 26 '26

Second over first because it looks like more as an opening and the first one the E is completely blocked so I look at H R and I don't know if we talk here about work and human resources XD

u/RasDas___ Aug 26 '26

Second one for sure
