The image is really busy and honestly, I can barely make out the what the helmet is supposed to look like (Not counting that it kinda looks like a robot or something by how equally busy the body is).

There's literally a ton of ideas that I think are both clearer and easier. Lets see

Opened. I can get behind the current looking less like a helmet and more like a weird robot head, but there's SO many good options that I'm at a bit of a loss on choosing one.

If we're gonna discuss Cool Helmet, I have to at least suggest Judge Dredd's bucket, who is probably more synonymous with his helmet than any other character (and the inspiration for RoboCop, above).

I like that idea! If you can make them all the same dimensions, it has my vote.

I felt it was kind of redundant because I had already added Vader. Besides, I wanted to create a collage with examples from all media. Feel free to create a collage with him, though.

^^ I also feel that there's a redundancy when the character Dark Helmet is a parody of is already there, and I'd rather use Vader for being more iconic.

I say go Daft Punk. Barring that, there's always the Daft Punk reference of Killer.

I think the version with gutters looks neater.

[up][up]A few more examples from other media wouldn't hurt either, for representation's sake (That word has a lot of baggage these days doesn't it?).

At first I had a hard time deciding. Now, I think a collage works.

The collage in 16 appears to be good for me.

I like 16 but surly there are cooler examples for the Anime and Western Animation options.
