Sup lads, i'm working on this design, please ignore the copy, it's nowhere near final/spellchecked/sense checked

Trying to create an icon to the left of the "Millions of people…" part of the website, but dammit, I cant think of any good ideas,
what is there currently is my current thoughts, but everything looks kinda shitty, I know I want to say, millions of people use our software it's pretty damn good and as you can tell by the super-sweet icon it looks good.

any thoughts on what i can do with the icon?

I dont Think all of the Icon looks to bad. Its a folder right?
But the paper's stickin out of it looks meh, and that Rainbow ontop aswell.
Tried a diffrent color maybe?

generally when people are trying to display a lot of people they go with the little man icon next to each other a bunch of times. maybe design a little 'rest room'-like guy and try displaying it in different ways. maybe one long line across the folder or maybe just show a line wrapped around the world. maybe have them stacked in like a 10x10 box and mask in a world inside the overall shape of the men. could make a circle shape with a bunch of the little men and color in the men with planet colors, etc.

you could also use a globe icon with pins/markers across multiple countries.

I do like location pins, I do want to portray the shear scale of what we do, it's not necessarily globally, but rather that it's huge, Thanks for the idea.
