Logo Design Brief

Looking for a sophisticated design for a logo; should include the name of the company as well as a design element (logo) so that they can be used interchangeably.

Our business model is that we work with local artisans around the world to design 'high-end' (read: luxury) products for upscale boutiques in the US and Eurpoe. By doing this we create livelihoods for communities as well as putting profits back into the community from the goods that are sold. The business is set up as a philanthropic/social venture, however, must appeal to the luxury, upscale market.

Looking for a clean, organic (ie something that looks hand drawn) design and logo for this business.

The company name is 'bahati' which means luck in the Swahili language. I'd like to incorporate a wishbone or another symbol of luck into the design itself.

I am not interested in just the name of the company with different fonts. This has to be a sophisticated design, as we are selling in the luxury market, NOT the fair trade market.

It is looking like it has been somewhat difficult to incorporate a wishbone effectively though I have gotten some great designs.  

I'm open to trying a logo that does not incorporate a wishbone, or other luck charm.  it should be iconic and reflect a sophisticated, though intrepid/bohemian traveler who likes to buy one-of-a-kind meaningful accessories such as antique berber necklaces or tibetan silver earrings etc.. these are some of the items we work with artisans to produce.
we work extensively in southern and eastern Africa, North Africa, and South Asia (India, Nepal, bangladesh etc...).
I hope this helps
Thanks

Here are two companies that would be my competitors.  I really like both of their logos, hope this might help with any inspiration.
Thanks-Jen
