Illustration Design Brief
We are high tech web IT development company focused on frontend technologies. Our name is VacuumLabs and we want to poke a fun of the "labs". That's the reason we are photographed wearing white lab coats, as you can see on the attached picture.
Currently, our designer created some desing (attached as a picture) but it looks dead serious. We look like a pharmaceutic company. I would like to make it more funny, more like a parody. So it is clear to everybody we are poking a fun of being lab, whilst we still maintain the high tech connotation.
One of the possible ways would be to draw some funny scientific elements into the team picture. Something like second attached picture.
The main goal is to make funny design, evoking idea of lab, whilst not being treated as jerks who are too serious about themselves and wear white lab coats:)
Any other ideas and improvements are welcome.

Requirements
Must have
- To draw something into the team photo to make it appear more funny, more heroic. Like if we were comic heroes:)
- Image should also evoke that we are working in high tech laboratory.
Nice to have
- The text above the team photo is going to change (currently there is other text saying something about fanatics) to:
- "Let’s Create the Future in our Lab
- Join the quest for outstanding products with heroes of the Web, wizards of iOS and Android warriors."
- It could be nice if the drawing would make us wizards, warriors and heroes situated into the laboratory.
