Animal Icon Design Project

This is what n/a was looking for in their icon design

We need high-quality animal icons for our upcoming website.
The theme should be simple and stylized yet fun and engaging with a "3Dish" look...similar to Adam Shiver's whale: http://elixirgraphics.com/images/themes/mobi_icon.png
(also attached)

The animals are:
- Kiwi (Brown Kiwi)
- Kea (NZ Mountain Parrot)
- Pukeko
- Dolphin (Dusky Dolphin)
- Penguin (Yellow-Eyed Penguin)
- Raccoon

We're looking for designs that show off the typical features of each animal in a fun way, and also show each animal in at least 2 different "poses". The animals need to be instantly recognizable (at least to a New Zealand audience), i.e. the designs need to be "iconic" yet simple.

The icons will be used on a website in different sizes (500x500 max, potentially down to 50x50).

We're happy to provide further information about the animals in question. Read more
