I'm not quite sure whether I understood right: You wonder whether the above overlay icon should be added to video thumbnails so that people quickly can see that it's a video - right? XnView has colours for formats but I think an overlay icon would make things much clearer. So I think this is a good idea. Perhaps you could post an image with such an overlay icon in action to get a better idea of this.

BTW: Why are these icons called overlay icons and no longer "info icons"? I found "info icons" much clearer because they provide specific info on the image/video/file. EDIT: Icons are not just infos but can also be used for tagging, rating, and more. This is probably why these are called "overlay icons".
