Mountaineer Herps Cartoon Logo

I need a fresh, eye-catching logo for my reptile-breeding venture, “Mountaineer Herps.” The piece should feel playful and cartoonish yet still polished enough to anchor all of our branding. Picture the two of us—clearly recognizable but drawn in a fun, friendly style—center stage. Wrap us in an abstract depiction of the reptiles we work with: a corn snake, hognose, false water cobra and, if it fits the composition nicely, a White’s tree frog. NO AI

Mountains must frame the scene to echo our name, and the colour palette should stay anchored in rich navy and vibrant gold. I’m aiming for a balanced mix of mountains, reptiles and the business name so none of those elements feel secondary.

Final artwork needs to be delivered as:
• Editable vector file (AI, EPS or SVG)
• High-resolution PNG with transparent background
• A CMYK PDF ready for print
• RGB version optimised for web and social media

Please keep layers organised for easy future tweaks. If you work primarily in Illustrator or a comparable vector tool, that’s perfect; just let me know your process so I can give timely feedback on rough sketches and colour passes.

Looking forward to seeing how you capture our passion for reptiles and the mountains we call home.
