Classic & Elegant Logo with Mascot

I'm launching a small business and in need of a professional designer to create a logo that blends classic elegance with a modern touch. The logo should be: - An Icon with Text: The logo should incorporate both an icon and text. The text will typically be the name of the business. - A Mascot or Character: I'm envisioning the icon of the logo to be a mascot or character. This could help in creating a more relatable and engaging brand identity. Ideal skills for this project include proficiency in graphic design, a strong understanding of brand identity creation, and experience in designing logos. Please showcase your previous work that aligns with this vision.
