Kindly always show us the complete, uncut console output of your ffmpeg
command.

I'm too lazy to reproduce[*], but would like to know why you give your
overlay logo a different framerate than the image sequence.

Also, "-r 20" doesn't work in the first input, as far as I can tell.
You ffmpeg console output should indicate 25fps.

You can't use both "-filter_complex" and "-filter". You can integrate
the audio filter expression into the "-filter_complex" expression
though, by adding another filter chain after a ';'.

[*] I did try to reproduce, but since I don't have your input, I'm not
seeing any issues.
