Creative Brief

Contest title: Attractive vibrant hostel logo.
Sub title: A logo signifying a genie
Category: Logo Design
Brand Name: Genie Hostels
Summary: A simple logo to illustrate that our hostels are a wish come true for a tired traveller, easily identified with and very simple but creative.
Description: I am setting up the first of several hostels which will be in three countries in South America, the first being in Colombia. They will be know as GenieHostels. I am looking for a simple but eye catching memorable logo which suggests that our hostel is a 'wish come true' for a traveller. It needs to incorporate the image of, or illusion of, a genie (preferably NOT coming out of a lamp). The imagery can be very subtle, I am not really looking for a cartoon like appearance, more of a 'stroke art' style. I would also like to incorporate the three colors of the Colombian flag. The files: The Colombian colors (Yellow Blue Red descending), a vague illustration of what I am trying to convey when I say "subtle or stroke style" (but still conveying a genie). and a typical genie without looking too middle eastern as this will be used in South America. The winning design does not have to be necessarily male or female (obviously the genie pictured is female). The winning logo will be used on literature, the website and on a sign outside the hostel itself. I will also be requiring further web development etc. in future.
Additional Information: I'm adding another stock image which is only to illustrate the sort of concept I have in mind. Getting AWAY from cartoon like images, and using a more subtle simple tri-colored way to illustrate a genie - Please feel free to discuss if you need more.
What I want: Simple, perhaps stroke like (see image suggestions) illustration of a genie using The Colombian flag colors (Yellow Blue Red descending). You can also incorporate the slogan (optional) "The journey is the destination"
What I don't Want: The lamp. Too complex. Too middle Eastern (no turban necessary).

It's hotting up in here. I wish I had a genie myself to help with the decision! Some awesome designs, I am having trouble deciding, but I guess I'm just too keen to get it right. I have eliminated so many good designs, but I have to focus on what I really like and what really works. PLEASE base any future designs only on the designs you see here. Good luck, and sorry in advance for those not successful.

Can designers see all the designs that I can? I am currently seeing 23 and have rated the ones that I like, they are close to the type of logo I am seeking. If you can't see other peoples designs please tell me and I'll upload my favourites.

One of the images that I originally uploaded somehow got duplicated, and another didn't get up loaded, I have now corrected this. I'll say it again, I'm not looking for a cartoon like character.
