well, 100% vote for #2!
I like the subtleness of the brown color combo better than the too bright.
(I want a shirt like that.)

That's because it follows Itten's color postulate about the contrast of saturation. Or rather, it's the only one in that batch not to follow Itten's simultaeous contrast theory, formed when the boundaries between colors perceptually vibrate.

#4 reminds me of Roach.

while i have no qualms with any of the above (I forgot which one I actually voted for) I would like to throw out: black skull and forks on white background.
Hell, I like all of them. You should get a whole bunch together and make an andy warhol-style art piece out of it.

While #2 is a nice color combination, there is something retro-ish about it that doesn't say Forker to me.

You just blew my mind
And I agree that it does look kinda retro and that might of been part of the draw.

Mere please don't bring color theory into this. I thought I left that shit behind in Foundation design back at art school. When you said Itten, I almost spontaneously combusted in my chair. I hated his stupid color books. Itten is an asshole.
What is worse than Itten is doing a grayscale with black and white gouache. It never mixes right, and i have the worst hand execution of all time. Probably burnt out motor skills from too much internet porn and twitch video games.
I failed like 4 grayscale projects. I'm a piece of shit.

Gouache rocks my lame ass.
I had so much fun mixing it, but we had a little trade secret: we added a drop of hand soap to it to make it glossy and smooth.
Maybe everyone knows that.
I just don't know a thing about the fine arts.
Color Theory class felt more like arts and crafts.
