Hello Logodad,
This is a very creative take on the stereotypes we are trying to avoid in the design. I've kept it in the running just because of the sheer quality of your design, and because the treatment plays down the stereotypes somewhat.
That said, check out the brief and the comments in particular to get a sense of what we are really hoping for. With the design talent you are showing, I'd bet you could really nail this one.
All the best,
Drew
