SIMPLE LOGO DESIGN FOR SMALL WEB COMMUNITY

http://www.communiti.ch

Communiti.ch is a small web community in Ticino. Ticino is a small region in Switzerland ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticino ) of 200'000 people.
The users of the web site are young (from 15 to 30 years old).

We group news and events of Ticino in the site, and also discuss on forums.

communiti.ch has grown a lot in the last 5 years. But now want's to exceed in with an all new design and features.

The logo is for all the new features of the web site.
Are main feature is TIME.

The "t" of communiti has to be in red, and the "i" after the "t" must be in blue.

It is very important to represent the TICINO FLAG: http://www.trail.ch/kt/flag_ti.gif

If in some way you can blend the T and the I making it a flag would be wonderful. (like the old logo - kinda)

This is a completely new market for me so I am sincerely open to all ideas. Give me all that you've got!!

______

In our website, we built a service that logs every action of our users and saves it in a timeline. Every action, comment, event, upload is a track in the timeline.

So it's important, that in the logo, there is something that represents TIME (clock? hourglass? etc.)
But even without the time represented, it's no biggie.

It's a year that communiti is inactive, since facebook came out. We tought a new modern logo is what is needed.

Something simple and professional.

So what is needed is a new logo, modern, and that keeps the Ticino Flags color, like the example (the old logo is attached to the project).

IT IS IMPORTANT to keep the red and blue color together and on the "T" and the "I", like in the example! (T red and the I blue).

UPDATE 6.12.2010
I want my brand to reflect a fresh, contemporary, energetic, and slightly sophisticated.
