logo design for boutique hotel

The job is to develop a logo and signage for a small hotel / guest house in Udaipur India, which will have a small cafe and (if we can get approval) a bar on the ground floor. It overlooks a beautiful lake. The name we plan on using is Madhurasa which in Sanskrit means 'essence of fruit' as in squeezing the juice from a fruit or wine from grapes. There is a lot of potential for imagery related to this word, as illustrated by the following quote: "In India, Soma is connected to the Asvattha (sacred fig) tree, which is rooted in the highest heaven and descends through the spaces bearing all existing worlds on its branches. And in Sanskrit literature there is the assertion that honey rains down from the skies. Something very similar happens with the Jews; Manna fell from the skies as they wandered in the desert. Though references to Soma as a ‘divine intoxicant’ indicate a connection to ash trees that only grow in the Himalayas. The twin horsemen Avins have a honey whip (madhurasa), which has been interpreted as lightning. Rig Veda 1.157 is a prayer to them: 'Bedew our power with honey and with oil... sprinkle us with your whip that drops honey-dew.' " Deliverable is a Photoshop and/or Illustrator file, with proofs in JPEG and/or PDF. The signage artwork should be suitable for a wooden board which will stand outside the entrance (example: [login to view URL]), ie- not too fanciful, easy to carve, read at a distance. I can provide photos of the building and environs, if desired.
