I looked a bit around on the page and I don't see how the designer side 
of things really works. Do designers get money for drafts, or only for 
the final design? If the latter, then I think this exploits the 
designers. They would then do stuff for free in the hope to get paid. 
Just something to consider.

I would say abstract ones are often simpler, but especially in regard to 
testing no ideas would come to my mind at least.

I would tend to "py.test".

If animals are used, then they should be very stylized, so the logo 
works with few or only one color as well.

Maybe fitting to the current docs.

No idea.
