I FREAKING LOVE THIS!
I love everything about your concept and I would actually suggest keeping the houses, but make the characters a bit more unique. I think Patrick should maintain his star shape and Squidward's shape needs to be more elongated, flipped upside down, or just another shape entirely, maybe a narrow isosceles trapezoid with the shorter base on the bottom...?
Personally, I think the unrecognizable factor makes it obscure, but in the best possible way because you have to really think about it, and even if people don't catch it, the design will still look really cool.
One way to get around the 6-color maximum would be to make the doors to each house the same color. That knocks down your color count to 4. Now you can add the green on the top of Spongebob's pineapple (color count now=5). You now have 1 color to work with to add the face on Squidward's tiki.
And I'm a little embarrassed to know how much I know about Spongebob Squarepants!
BTW, this gets accepted and my niece would KILL to get her hands on one. SBSQ is her favorite show of all time. And she's nearly 30 now.
if you can't add green, at least make the top part the same colour, as to be in some way visible.... I'd also suggest making Patrick a Triangle, Squidward an oval, and Spongebob a Rectangle
@Malion: 6 color limit :(

Yeah... That was pretty long...
