New brand/logo for organisation

Information on the business: A UK business based on a time sharing system
Type of logo: Word mark, Abstract mark
Brand name in logo: Timecentres UK
Ideas for the visual style: Fresh, bold, modern, clean, clever design elements
Things to avoid: Traditional clock faces
Extra notes: I have lots of information about the organisation and what they are trying to achieve with this new brand.

They want to incorporate a 'time' design element to the logo, maybe a nod towards something to do with time, but they want it to be mostly about the stylised text and colour combinations, fresh, simple and not look at all traditional.

I'd like to get your ideas and let me know how many concepts you can come up with and when you could get first concepts to me.

Thanks
Emma
