How to make a bracketed environment like this?
Just for fun: a tcolorbox based answer.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[most]{tcolorbox}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\newtcolorbox{lbulbox}[1][]{enhanced,
colback=white,
boxrule=0mm,top=0mm,bottom=0mm,left=2cm,right=4mm,sharp corners,
overlay={%
\draw[ultra thick] ([xshift=2mm]frame.north west)-|(frame.south west)--
([xshift=2mm]frame.south west);
\draw[ultra thick] ([xshift=-2mm]frame.north east)-|(frame.south east)--
([xshift=-2mm]frame.south east);
\draw[thick,white] ([xshift=2mm]frame.north west) -- ([xshift=-2mm]frame.north east)
([xshift=2mm]frame.south west) -- ([xshift=-2mm]frame.south east);
\begin{scope}[shift={([xshift=1cm]frame.west)}]
\shadedraw[ball color=yellow] (290:0.3) arc(290:-20:0.3) -- ++(0.2,-0.2)
-- ++(-0.15,-0.15) --cycle;
\fill[top color=gray,middle color=gray!60!black,bottom color=black,shading angle=-40] (-20:0.3)

\foreach \X in {170,140,110}
{\draw[thick] (\X:0.4) -- (\X:0.6);}
\end{scope}
}}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{lbulbox}
\textbf{New- and old-style classes.}\par
Old-style classes have only human students. In new-style classes, ducks, koalas
and marmots are welcome. Hibernation needs of marmot students are respected.

The following is a quick implementation of what you want without any packages. The syntax is quick and dirty and a mixture of LaTeX and TeX syntax. Every aspect of the environment should be adjustable if you change the used lengths and macros (every one should be commented to make clear what it's used for).
\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage[]{graphicx}
\makeatletter
\newcommand\Bracket@head[1]{\textbf{#1}} % format the heading
% store the icon
\newsavebox\Bracket@icon
\setbox\Bracket@icon\hbox{\includegraphics[width=1cm]{example-image-duck}}
% the vertical displacement of the icon from the centre of the contents
\newlength\Bracket@iconOffset
\Bracket@iconOffset0pt
% store the contents of the environment
\newsavebox\Bracket@box
% the width it should take as a macro so that the width is evaluated when used,
% this should provide more flexibility
\newcommand\Bracket@totwidth{.95\linewidth}
% the actual contents width (gets calculated)
\newlength\Bracket@width
% the vertical amount of space the brackets are taller than their contents
\newlength\Bracket@vpad
\Bracket@vpad5mm
% the width of the horizontal rules of the brackets
\newlength\Bracket@length
\Bracket@length5mm
% the thickness of the bracket rules
\newlength\Bracket@linewidth
\Bracket@linewidth2pt
% the amount of white space between the left bracket and the logo
\newlength\Bracket@hpadLeft
\[email protected]
% the amount of white space between the logo and the contents
\newlength\Bracket@hpadIcon
\[email protected]
% the amount of white space between the right bracket and the contents
\newlength\Bracket@hpadRight
\Bracket@hpadRight5mm
% the vertical white space added above the whole environment
\newlength\Bracket@aboveSkip
\Bracket@aboveSkip1ex
% the vertical white space added below the whole environment

EDIT: Allows a total width greater than the surrounding \linewidth without overfull boxes.
I should mention that the result is not page breakable. If this is required, tcolorbox can be page broken if set up correctly, so take a look at @marmot's answer (this doesn't claim that the way @marmot set up tcolorbox is page breakable, I didn't check this, so it might be breakable, but might as well be not).
