Stories you'll want to share

We publish great books for children from ages 4 to 13 years. Our clients are bookstores, libraries, parents and grandparents, and of course the children themselves! We are based in Australia, and this is our predominant market. Our mascot is, of course, a wombat.

Our new logo needs to incorporate a really cool and fun cartoon-style wombat (stylised and simplified from what they actually look like) preferably in 2D not 3D. The wombat can be upper torso, head and front paws only if you like. I'd like to see some options in a company seal type design, but am open to other ideas. The logo has to work both on the back of the books we publish, and in marketing brochures, our website etc.etc. We may also use it on staff t-shirts and things like that. One concept I like is istock image 26102597. To see a picture of the common-nosed wombat (there is a hairy nosed wombat but we prefer the common-nosed variety), please see below. The way this wombat is posed would make a great foundation for a logo character. This YouTube clip will also help: http://youtu.be/dk4BA6eDwuU - when you get to 2:30 minutes you can see a wombat coming out of his burrow which for those of you trying that kind of design could be helpful.
