Vector Mascot Designer for Personal Finance Brand

Project Overview We are looking for a character/mascot illustrator with strong vector illustration skills to professionally recreate and standardize an existing mascot for our personal-finance app, Save Your Coins. Our mascot, Coino the Coinosaurus, already has an established design, personality, color palette, and overall visual style. We have multiple reference sheets and examples that will be provided. We are not looking for a complete mascot redesign. The goal is to take our existing Coino concept and turn it into a polished, consistent, professional character system that can be reliably used across our app, website, social media, marketing materials, merchandise, stickers, and future illustrations. What We’re Looking For We would like the designer to create a definitive master version of Coino based closely on our supplied references. The project should ideally include: * Professional vector recreation of Coino * Front, ¾, side, and back character views * Consistent character proportions and construction * Standard facial features and expressions * Approximately 6–10 expressions * Approximately 6–10 poses/actions * Character color specifications * Full-color version * Monochrome/one-color version * Simplified version for small sizes * Coino head/icon variation * Guidance for maintaining character consistency Example poses could include: * Holding his coin * Waving * Celebrating * Giving a thumbs-up * Thinking * Reading/learning * Planning with a checklist * Pointing/presenting We are open to an illustrator making minor refinements that improve consistency, readability, or professional quality, but Coino should remain clearly faithful to the supplied design. Deliverables We would like final assets supplied in: * SVG * High-resolution transparent PNG * PDF * Original editable vector/source files (Adobe Illustrator, EPS, or equivalent) Individual poses and expressions should also be provided as separate usable assets where possible. Style Coino is intended to feel: Friendly • Approachable • Encouraging • Fun • Trustworthy The existing style uses rounded forms, clean dark outlines, bright greens, warm gold accents, and a friendly cartoon aesthetic. Our references will be provided to demonstrate the intended design and style. Important Because Coino will be an official mascot used throughout the Save Your Coins brand, we are looking for someone who is comfortable creating consistent versions of the same character, rather than producing noticeably different interpretations with every pose. Please include examples of previous mascot design, character sheets, vector characters, or the same character illustrated in multiple poses in your portfolio. We also need the final artwork to include appropriate commercial usage rights for use within our app, website, social media, advertising, promotional materials, and other Save Your Coins branding. When applying, please let us know: 1. Your experience with mascot/character illustration 2. Whether you work primarily in vector format 3. What editable source files you provide 4. Whether commercial usage rights are included 5. Your estimated price and turnaround time
