Success Pigeon needs fresh new icons

Success Pigeon

We provide processes/systems that deliver success on projects for individuals and small teams

We have developed a four stage model for training and application of success planning processes which uses an analogy of 4 different birds as follows:

1. PIGEON: Communication and delivery of plans through action & communication. Colors could be grey, purple or blue
2. EAGLE: Vision and environment/risk assessment. Colors could be red or pink
3. OWL: Stakeholders (people) and analysis of their needs. Colors could be orange or yellow
4. PEACOCK: Value of each component of the plan to the stakeholders. Colors could be green or aqua
AND
5. A 5th icon will also be required - AN EGG: representing the overall aim of delivering project success and value (possibly can be shown with a nest, as this is the structure in the plan which supports the delivery of success). Colors could be grey, white or gold

We would like a uniform iconset (similar colors/styles between icons) developed that has an icon / character which represents each of the stages, in similar to the styles used in:

- mozilla's software suite (firefox, thunderbird, sunbird)
- 37signals' software suite (backpack, basecamp, highrise)
- adium's duck, and it's many variations it has spawned
- adobe egg icon series

We have included samples of each of these iconsets in the attached image file, as well as some individual icons which we like the style of (green border = really like, blue border = like, purple border = ok). As you will see, we generally like generally fresh, new school icons which suit a Mac toolbar dock, and therefore can be used as images on website

Ideally the icons can be clearly identified (and differentiated from each other) down to 16 x 16, but this is not essential

FEEL FREE TO PROPOSE DIFFERENT APPROACHES OR IDEAS - it might be better than what we have in mind!

MORE WORK WILL FOLLOW FOR THE WINNER
As these are characters, contestants should note that there will be plenty of customisation work available for the winning designer into the forseeable future

NOTE
There seems to be a little confusion at how many icons are required. Just so everyone is clear, this contest is for FIVE (5) icons:

- a pigeon
- an eagle
- an owl
- a peacock
- an egg

Please have all 5 icons present in your entries
