Great submissions! I appreciate the complexity of them all. They are colourful and include more than one element of nature. I see some very tough decisions in my near future. I wonder if there might be a way to keep entry #22 as is but without the blue tail that turns into the academic cap? Thanks for your hard work!
Not a problem. In the next phase of the contest, I will probably spend some more time on the design to see if it can be improved further. In the meantime, let me know if you have any suggestions.
Just uploaded a version with solid colors and an update to the current design. I have added a book to convey the learning/knowledge aspect of your business.
