Illustration-Driven Logo Design Needed

I’ve outlined a new logo project that hinges on strong illustration skills. In the form I selected “Logo design” as the style, which signals that I’m prioritising an illustration-centric approach rather than a purely typographic mark. I also confirmed that the finished piece should be a combination of both an icon or symbol and text, integrated so they work together seamlessly.

Here’s what I need:
• A distinctive, vector-based logo built from an original illustration.
• Versions for full colour, single colour and knockout use.
• Final files supplied in AI, EPS, SVG and high-resolution PNG.

I’ll share the brand name, palette references and a short creative brief as soon as we start. Feel free to suggest whether a cartoonish, minimalist or realistic treatment best supports the concept—I’m open to your artistic direction as long as the outcome is clean, memorable and scalable. If you have a portfolio of illustrated logos, please point me to two or three relevant pieces so I can gauge fit.
