New logo wanted for Goldrausch

Goldrausch

We want to create a new hip but still classy drink to challenge vodka.

Our drink originates in south america. It's a hard drink with 35% alcohol. We want to pay tribute to its roots but at the same time completely rebrand it to fit the market of young (20-30 years), hip, urban trendsetters in the nightlife of Hamburg (Germany).

Our drink is exclusive and aimed at the "gentrified" people of the hip part of town who are bored of vodka and cuba libre time and time again.
"Goldrausch" is a german word and means gold rush or gold fever. Goldrausch is exotic, immaculate, symmetrical, luxurious, classy, exclusive, powerful and eternal.

Goldrausch is dark and mysterious.

We took a lot of our inspiration from a visit to the Gold-Museum in Bogotá, Colombia. A remarkable statue there was called "Lord of the Underworld".

ATTENTION: Do NOT use the shaman anymore in new designs. We need alternatives.

Practical Advice:
The font has to be strong. I'd prefer serrated serifs. It has to be original and resonate the adjectives I used in the upper paragraphs, please no free standard fonts. I can do that by myself.
The color of the drink is goldish so the logo and the colors need to complement that.

Please submit a version in black/white with every logo you submit. the logo has to work in small sizes and in monochromatic colors, too (like this one: http://99designs.com/designs/7797719-original)
