The gun he's holding is a difficult to notice, but awesomely funny little detail. Although there is no bullet hole wound in the "B"....

LOL! For anyone asking, *this* is why you use critiques. Liked the concept all along, but now the execution really stands up for itself. Great final product. I just wish it wasn't on white... but I think for once, white really is the only colour this works on.

K is for KEY not because of black ends in K.

The “K” in CMYK stands for key since in four-color printing cyan, magenta, and yellow printing plates are carefully keyed or aligned with the key of the black key plate. Some sources suggest that the “K” in CMYK comes from the last letter in "black" and was chosen because B already means blue. However, this explanation, though plausible and useful as a mnemonic, is likely inaccurate, the speculative invention of authors unfamiliar with traditional printing technology.
