Hello,
my name is Liliana, i have over ten years of experience as a designer, and what i like most is to illustrate, that's why i like this project.
Please, visit my Freelancer portfolio https://www.freelancer.com/u/webpolis.html
to see some of the illustrations and design i made, in order to evaluate my work.
I can send you more samples, if you want to.
I use Illustrator for this kind of projects, i can deliver you the icon as vector format to print as any size in different products, and also saved as any other format you may need, like JPG or transparent PNG, for example.
I found this project really enjoyable and interesting, and i would like to develop an original, simple and elegant icon that represents your brand, and make reference to the four animals that you mentioned.
I hope we can work together, please, contact me if you have any questions, or if you want to see some
more of my work.
Best regards.
Lili.
