Logo Design Brief

A logo is needed for a website that allows online (1) top-up/recharge of prepaid accounts and (2) remittance through international top-up/recharge of prepaid accounts.

The name of the service is Caricharge. Derived from Caribbean and recharge (aka top-up).

The site will target Caribbean people both at home and living abroad. The Caribbean is a melting pot of vibrant and diverse cultures. The logo needs to "speak their language".

We need a graphic with the name "Caricharge" incorporated, however the graphic should speak for itself and stand on its own.

We are partial to flat designs. The logo needs to say a lot with very little. Inspiration can come from these things: time, minutes, hour glass, rejuvenation, recharging, refilling, etc. However we have to be careful NOT to appear as a solar company or a telecommunications company. Also feel free to think outside the box and possibly create a unique abstract symbol and or maybe even a mascot of some kind (the phoenix comes to mind). Please do not use mobile phones or phone handsets in the logo.

The logos on this site gives the "feel" we are looking for: http://www.webdesignrazzi.com/2014/free-flat-logos-download/.

Also look to this link for inspiration: https://www.google.com/search?q=negative+logo&es_sm=122&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=bPJ0U52UCfLisAS5mYGoCA&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=2133&bih=1087&dpr=0.9#imgdii=_

Please try to incorporate an hour glass floating on the sea. It's an analogy to a message in a bottle floating in the ocean. The concept is that "time to talk" is being sent across the ocean, whether from island to island or from continent to island (remittance).

Use these these URLs for inspiration of the type of logos we like:

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: I extended the deadline because only one designer so far has come close to a logo that we want. One option is not enough to choose from. We really need other designers to look deeper at the brief and the website links I provided.
