1.1, even if 1.2 is a reference it looks more like coincidence.

Out of context, 1.1 just looks like Eileen pointing at a normal (I think) broom

1.2 has four things going for it - The character's name is Kiki (not only the protagonists name, but the cat counterpart in the movie is called Jiji), the black fur (which, tbf, could be reasoned as a coincidence) the upward-pointed ears, and the green-ish eyes.

See with 1.2 all I see is a cat that sorta maybe looks like Jiji called Kiki (also looking into her name in Japanese isn't Kiki so I think it probably is a coincidence). Whereas Eileen is cosplaying as Kiki.

I think I have a worthy suggestion! It is the title card for an episode from Steven Universe:

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kikis_pizza_delivery_service_000.png

The reason I think this works is because the reference is pretty much all but in plain sight. The title of the episode is exactly the same as the work title except for adding the word "pizza". That being said, there might be a better idea still but this seems like a 100% visible reference.

Gonna go with 1.1. Even without some admitted bias on my part (since I was the one who suggested it in the thread), it's the most visually obvious reference to Kiki since Eileen is wearing Kiki's outfit and has a broom.

1.2 by comparison is very weak since outside of the name and her being a black cat like Jiji, it's really not obvious that she is a reference to Kiki's Delivery Service (and I feel If she was named anything else, then it wouldn't really be suggested), and while [up] is more obvious, I would much rather have a visual reference rather than a title reference.

[up][up] I also agree that 1.1 is still stronger than 7 as it's more visual. There's also:

But I still like 1.1 the most as the red bow to me is a bit more obvious and The Simpsons is rather image overdosed.

[up] The Simpsons being overdosed ain't even the problem; it's just that this looks like two generic witches while 1.1 is very clear who it's referencing.

[up] Yeah I wouldn't have caught on if it wasn't part of a wider Studio Ghibli reference:

Here's another suggestion. Official artwork from Bluey. Thoughts?

[tup] to 17 because the "Kiki" connection is stronger due to Bluey flying the broom
