Logo Design Brief
I am looking for a logo design for the title of my graphic novel. The book is about a superhero for children and young adults with cancer and it is a fantasy/adventure. The book contains elements of the mystical and magical, light and darkness, the revealed and the concealed and finally hope and despair. I would like the logo to reflect some/one of these elements. The book cover is hand painted by a renowned comic book artist and is dynamic and colorful.
Updates
I have added a file that shows the penciled cover (it will be in full color eventually, the ribbon will be gold, the characters in bold colors)

The word NISTAR comes from the Hebrew meaning "hidden". It has nothing to do with stars. I am not interested in having a star as part of the logo.

Requirements
Must have
- NISTAR (in bold and large)
IN THE FACE OF DESPAIR, HOPE IF YOU DARE! (tagline underneath)
Nice to have
- I would like too see light being used cleverly - perhaps the Logo letters in black being lit up by a burst of light from behind (see attached Starwars logo)
Or the logo itself in very bright letters that seem to be lit up.
Be creative! I want it to be clear but sleek, showing elements of speed and light.
