Icon Design Brief
                            We currently have an app in the Apple App store available called GiveEasy that can be downloaded and viewed on your iPhone or iPad at 
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/giveeasy/id531017714?mt=8
Currently the app features individual charity logos on the front screen of the app, however for donors to navigate better and easier we have decided to change the icons to categories that the charities will fit into as opposed to showing their logos here. 
We have broken the categories down into 12 categories and we require an icon design for each of them.
The category names are below:
Aged
Animal Welfare
Arts, Culture, Humanities
Education
Environment and Heritage
Health
Human Services 
International
Public Benefit
Religion
Rescue Services
Sport and Recreation
 
A breakdown for each category is below so you can get a clearer idea of what they include

The background colour for the icon should be colours from the colour palette that is attached
The spec for each icon is 150px width by 150px in height and they need to have square edges.
Each of the 12 icons needs to include a picture which will describe the categories above like the design attached.
The logos shouldn't contain the name in them.
If you can see how the ones attached have a lineal/flat look to them.
Happy if you wanted to replicate the ones we have already and then work on the additional 6.
Would be good to use each colour twice and no more than that.
If you have any queries about the design brief please let me know as we need to get this right and it must look professional for our new design.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with and working with the winner designer on other projects
                        
Updates
                                                        Project Deadline Extended
 Reason: Increased budget to entice more designs to be submitted and made a slight revision to the design brief as we felt the designs looked too much like clip arts and we need a more professional feel to the icons.
We attached images from a video created for ideas on the style we would like to run with.

 Reason: Designs not up to the standard that we require
Will submit a very good example that if someone could work off this idea or even use this concept and create the additional icons
