Illustration \ Logo Design - Corporate Mascot

I would like to come up with a 'cartoon character' type of personality as a possible marketing look for my employer (to provide some personality for our brand). I want to give our brand some 'fresh ideas' and this could be used on some of our marketing. I guess you could call it a mascot perhaps. Quick delivery is required, in a day or two so I can put your idea into a presentation to management. Also have a small budget - but would pay generously as a bonus if it was to be used as our marketing 'mascot'. Our company is called CAPS Australia ([login to view URL]), so I think a cap of some look would be ideal. We are a conservative brand, so wouldn't want anything too much - we sell industrial equipment in Australia and so nothing too 'loud'! I would suggest that our logo would comprise part of our design. Looking forward to seeing what the freelancer community can 'put out there'.
