Eight logos sit in a neat grid and you recognise almost none of them. That is the whole trick, because not knowing them proves the title's point before you click. Each unfamiliar icon becomes a small, separate gap that only the video can close.
Title
The title counts the list and bets you have not seen them.
Thumbnail

Use this when your list is full of things viewers have not seen. Show the icons plainly and let their unfamiliar shapes do all the pulling. If viewers already know most of them, this reads as old news.
Unfamiliar icons prove the promise before the click.
