Can you make the lettering smaller in the circle and see how that looks. Also here are some ideas from my partner below. .....

Yea, let’s see if they can do a few different things.

See if they have different characters, not all the same person. If so, maybe they can interchange the one guy.
See if they can make all of them the same height.
See if they can make the men (in the circle) a little taller, the proportions are off.
