New Logo

Logo for a client doing distribution in the US for a Caribbean snack company. Not sure about the shape, but mostly about colors: I prefer it in black or white because I like the idea of putting it on top of a colorful photo (thinking about the site design as well), but he says red/white/blue because the markets are US, UK and Costa Rica. I think it misrepresents the product a little since the product itself is Caribbean. Also don't think that will make it more appealing to target countries. Thoughts?
