Logo Design Brief
This is an academic project right now but particularly good designers may be asked to do our website, hats, mission jackets, work uniforms when we become a company later this year.
I need someone to turn the sketch attached into a digital image with pretty colors. Maybe some different compositions and colors to make it look most pleasing to the eye. I am think more cartoon-ish is more better. This logo will be put on "mission patches", t-shirts, etc so the wording "SOS CARBON" should be as large as possible without ruining the artwork.
If the designer would like to play around with fish and/or coral reefs (this is in the caribbean so please look up the colors of these reefs), or birds in the sky that would be cool! Maybe a thatched roof house or the bananna hammock between the trees instead of free-standing?!
Odd request: if the designer could find a way to include perrywinkle and forest green in the logo that'd be awesome. Perhaps forest green for the grass on the island and perrywinkle for the deep ocean or for the high-altitude part of the sky.
Fading the colors for the water and the sky would be great!
Note that the water should get darker the deeper it gets (should be darkest inside the deep sea canyon).

Requirements
Must have
- refer to project description
- I would like it to be visible against any color (perhaps a black border is in order?)
Nice to have
- refer to project description
- coral reefs would be really cool along the sea floor (not in the deep sea canyon) but a risk of making things too cluttered and unidentifiable from a distance
