Hi, here's my proposal. Since you said that you want less cartoon like for the donkeys, so there you go #19 You can see the full preview of the donkey character #20.for more detailed view. Let me know what you think. I hope I'm on the right direction.
I really like the layout of #19. I know that I had asked for less cartoon like for the donkeys, but these donkeys look a little too "stern". Could you also play with the background a little, I am concerned about how it will print on shirts as a logo. I like the sun so some different options on the sun and possibly other options like a barn? Thank you.
