Thanks to everyone that replied. Your opinions were invaluable. I 
relayed all of them to the client and as a result, we're 
reconsidering using this particular design (maybe something without 
the freaky kids). At the very least we'll move away from the 
"violent" colours. Even though the client is a big fan of hot pink 
and green, we've decided it's definitely a contentious combo and 
something that not everyone is a fan of.

Thanks again to everyone that responded. I'm not sure what I'd do 
without evolt!

Regards,
Tara
