Is the Zelda/Tin Man heart thing clearly conveyed here?

EDIT: I posted a new version. Scroll down to last comment PLZ...

I picked up the Zelda vibe really quickly, but didn't get the Tin Man part till reading about it

I went into 8 Bit mode immediately but had to read to get the idea.

Haha, I got the Tin Man reference first. - cool - Just make it better, whatever that means.

I'm probably not your audience, since I don't even know what/who zelda is. A game reference, I suppose.

I got it. Not sure if a wide audience would, but I think it's brilliant!

Hmm. No consensus, huh? Maybe I better let this one sit for a few days...

What I think might make the design way better would be if a link-looking character was handing the tinman a heart. I think it'd get a lot more mileage out of the concept, as well as allowing you to not have to draw the tinman in pixel-form

Thanks for the feedback. I added a zelda framework (crude for now). Does it help? Photobucket

It started off as a realistic pic of tin man and link, but I think there's potential here for something cooler with the pixels. Still, I might follow through with what Adder suggested and put Link in there, but then I have to lose the pixel concept b/c how to you pixelize link without making him look just like the original from the game?

I got it right away, but I'm an avid Zelda fan. Maybe try to make the tinman reference a little stronger?

Dude, this is such a great reference tee....it doesn't need all the extra Zelda stuff, I got it right away too! Maybe just the wall and fire but not the life and extra Zelda inventory around the brick wall...sub thisss!

with the first design, I got the Tinman reference right away, and the whole 8-bit theme, but didn't think "ZELDA" specifically. The new design really brings the Zelda in, but might overshadow the tinman theme a bit? Just my thoughts
