I considered going with four people, but didn't want any kind of association to be formed between the number of people and the number in the thought bubble. Three is also the minimum required to deliver the message- two would be too few (implying every other person thinks in four words) and four would be overstating not everyone thinks in four words.
Icons should be like jokes- the bare minimum information to do the job.
Sure you still want a crack at this Shoon? |

| No, one person thinking of four words. It's right like it is. |

| The second one's growing on me. But, aren't the F W F R letters a bit small? The letters look a bit out of balance with the picture, i.e., chunky rounded shapes with small, skinny, spread-out letters. |

I didn't look at the F W F R at the bottom, as I didn't see them on that version. Now that I've looked again, you're right. They need to be thicker. That's simply a font problem. I'd say that "Broadway" in bold would probably be your best choice, unless you want something more rounded. I'd also say you could put them closer together so that the first "F" is in line with the outside of the projector and the "R" is in line with the right side of the graphic.
(Of course, you could always use the font "Davida" ...!)

These T shirts are free to everyone who has posted more than 2910 reviews, right? 
Have you tried it with figures 2 and 3 getting progressively slightly smaller, giving an illusion of depth in that cinema? Then you could get no.3's head into the dark area.
And please let me have your address so I can send on my invoice.

its just want want want with these people - sorry
Can't say for sure yet (ideally I'd like to test the print myself), but here's the general gist of the latest designs...

Both designs are typical of what I've come to expect of your genius. My favorite is the second one, just as it is. I would like to see FWFR.COM on there, just for promoting the url. Would that mess up the design?
Benj, I got a little story for ya that you might appreciate. My fil was an artist/designer/audiovisual production specialist at an ag university. Some cattlemen asked him to design a logo for their association. He did so and gave them a copy of the first draft. They returned it with their own ideas clumsily drawn in...in effect, making it into 'the old testament on the head of a pin.' Fil told them, "I'll make you a deal. I won't design any cattle rations if you promise not to design any more logos." |

I think genius is probably taking it a bit far- I just screw about until I come up with something I like 
FWFR.COM could work. I'll be honest- the text below was pretty much a last minute addition, so I'll probably screw about with that yet more.
That story's almost typical client mentality- we have clients buy our pre-written software, having been demoed to and knowing what it can do and then asking for it to work completely differently. I've also had clients supply designs they've knocked together in Excel... and then they wonder why it looks gridlike  |
