Thank you for these. #143 is something I've not seen and its a good direction - the type above an implied square with only part of the actual square containing the illustration. you need to go a complete different direction with the fish though. very simple shape. no small fish around it. no real detail so it will work as a shape when screened or as a simple line drawing. i'll try to find some visual references for you.
The best direction i can give you is a maybe drastic modification of my current fish / shark. It should be playful, iconic, funky and very cool looking. It can be a cropped view, front, or possibly a distorted perspective front 3/4 view (?)
thanks. this is a try with a shark, but I don't know if this works well enough. If you find some ref for me in the kind you're thinking about, it'll probably help a lot.
wow - #148 is an amazing layout. the fish does need to change but it is a very cohesive composition. no need to mess with it until i find some images to assist you.
