The letter “F” in friends is made to look as though it is the table that the three happy friends are sitting at. Also, the letter “N” hints at being a chair scooted up to the table. In illustrator, I hand drew the word “Friends” to match my hand drawn characters.
This is the second version. It doesn't have pink added to it, and it has no straws to make it look a little less busy. Also the man on the right has his laugh changed to a grin.
This is a version of the logo that has a font style for the word "Friends" rather than being hand drawn. I changed the letter "F" of the font style to make it look more like a table.
