For numbers 5 and 4, could you play with opening up the space between the people (maybe making bigger), changing them to either grey or black, and adding a blue circle or something representing a perso, even having the circle overlap and touch the other people, I think we are there.
After looking at all of these again, let's focus on number 5. Can you please change the colors of the mascot to alternating grey and black with a larger blue dot in the middle?
We like #14. Can you please try a version that spaces out the people a bit, making them grey, then increasing the size of the blunt dot in the middle, making it touch each of the people and making it look like a bulls eye.
