Playful Mascot Logo Design

I need a light-hearted logo built around a single cartoon mascot that instantly feels funny and a little silly. Think amusement-park vibe rather than polished corporate branding—the charm here is in keeping things loose, bright, and memorable.

My must-haves
• A custom character (no stock images).
• Bold, exaggerated expressions or poses that make people smile.
• Colour palette that pops on both light and dark backgrounds.

Although I’m set on using a mascot, I’m open to playful lettering or a supporting icon if it helps the character shine.

Please share a quick outline of your process and a couple of cartoon examples you’ve already produced. Final delivery should include the editable source file (AI, EPS or SVG) plus high-resolution PNGs. A small, low-fidelity rough draft is fine for the first pass—polish comes after feedback.

If this sounds like fun, I’d love to see what you can sketch up.
