I really like the idea...My only thing though is that every block is it's own letter except for the second to last one which serves as both the M and E. Maybe add another block? or combine more? Just some thoughts. I like the idea though. This will turn out really cool.
i suggest you change the S into a more black letter S instead of putting that mirror image there. Makes it look more like 25 than an S. I also dont think you need those people around.
having said that, your color scheme is pretty good
Also i think that the double U almost looks out of place because all the other blocks are just one letter besides the S. the right side of the S block looks kind of like a dollar sign too.
I'm actually mostly okay with the letter blocks, except that now it's been mentioned, the right side S definitely looks like a dollar sign. Maybe you just need to remove the tongue on the top side.
I think that the perspective of your background characters needs to fit better with the dotted lines The SUMMER and lines receed with perspective but the characters are all at the same scale (except the people on S).
yeah agree with agrimony - it's not clear what he's doing.
I alos really liked the style of v1 - the letters needed work which you seem to have addressed here, but the people were awesome.
I also think the dark colour also doesn't make this look like a very summery shirt - I'm not saying it has to be bright bright bright, but navy certainly doesn't say "summer" to me
