Name & Logo for Spice Startup

I’m launching a line of spice blends and premixes that marry classic Indian traditions with a contemporary twist, and I need help shaping a brand identity that captures that story in one glance.

Here’s what I’m after: a punchy, memorable brand name plus a logo that feels both timeless and up-to-date. Visually, the mark should balance modern cleanliness with a touch of old-world charm, and it must weave my company initials into the artwork in a way that looks intentional rather than forced. Above all, the finished look should radiate authenticity—something that tells customers they’re getting the real flavour experience.

To keep the project clear, I’ll consider it complete when I receive:
• 10–12 distinctive brand-name options with a short rationale for each
• A primary logo (vector), horizontal and stacked variations, and web/social media ready PNGs
• A concise style sheet outlining colours and typefaces

If you’re comfortable blending heritage cues with fresh design thinking, I’d love to see your approach and timeline.
