Modern Animal Icon Logo Design

I need a fresh, modern-style logo built around an animal- or nature-inspired icon only—no text, wordmarks, or taglines. The mark should feel clean, scalable, and memorable, working just as well on a dark app splash screen as it does embossed on stationery.

To guide you:
• Style: firmly modern—think flat or subtly gradient, confident use of negative space, crisp geometry, and limited colours.
• Content: choose an animal or nature element that can stand alone as the brand’s symbol. It doesn’t have to be literal; stylised silhouettes or abstracted forms are welcome so long as the subject is recognisable at a glance.
• Originality: please avoid stock vectors and clip-art; I’m after a bespoke piece that can be trademarked without issue.

Deliverables (vector preferred):
• Primary logo in editable .AI (Adobe Illustrator)
• High-res transparent PNG and SVG for web
• One monochrome version for single-colour print
• Brief colour palette and typography suggestions to show practical application (just a quick note—no full brand guide needed)

Acceptance criteria:
1. Clearly modern aesthetic with an animal/nature icon as the sole focus.
2. Clean outlines that remain legible at 32 px.
3. Supplied files open flawlessly in Illustrator 2021+.

If you have relevant portfolio pieces featuring animal icons, I’d love to see them alongside your proposal.
