Guys, the next time an image appears, please, please don't think of the coolest thing it could possibly be. A submarine? It's this "always imagining the best scenario" thing that opens up so much disappointment.

I liked your spin on the graffiti though, good effort.

Yeah, but seriously, this is pretty terrible. When they showed the first glimpse if someone posted "There will be another face facing it. And a shared speech bubble coming from their mouths. With a heart in it." We all would've said "Haha, yeah right. It won't be THAT lame."

I really wish PJ went to another art direction than graphic vector illustration again.

I'm pretty sure there will be. The white spaces are blank for a start.

that's exactly what I thought it would be minus the heart. it's fine to me. it just looks like an M now, which has nothing to do with the song..

I quite like the artistic style, actually; the block colours are pretty comic book. I still stand by that. It's just the actual elements of the image I don't like here, particularly the love hearts. Actually, only the love hearts.

Just think of all the married Pearl Jam fans who will now get tattoos of this image with their names and the dates of their wedding underneath it. But probably with the faces changed to look more like Stickman.
