Swonderful: Should it stay or should it go?

Should it stay or should it go?

When I designed our infamous Swellington tees & totes last Summer I was all over them, but people didn't really seem that keen, maybe they didn't get it or it was just too cheesy, but when we had our final sale at the old shop they sold like hotcakes, it seems they have come into their own... Or maybe I'm just waaaay ahead of y'all!
Anyway I had thoughts to update our beloved Swellington- just revamp it a little but keep the idea the same. This is what I have come up with-
NEW

What do you think? Should we bring in the new Crabby Swellington or keep the old Neptune (God of the sea) style?
OLD

I would love to hear everyone's opinions! Please cast your votes by leaving a comment. It would be ever so helpful! (PS- click to view images larger) X

Also, I posted my outfit today (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v662/hannahjv/WIWT1-1.jpg) to whatiworetoday on livejournal (http://community.livejournal.com/whatiworetoday2/). Here are some comments:

"Oh my gosh, that t shirt is just perfect! Lovely :)"

"So cute I love it! Swonderful is so lovely, it used to be just down the road from my house. I must check out their new store!"
