I want you to look at the Logo and know its an electrical company. Maybe lighting Bolt or plug or anything you can thing of electrical. I want it to look sleek ( I think) Like fitting in a bolt of lighting between letter space or add it off or create something cool with the letters or it in the letters? I want there to be a symbol just not sure what I want it to be or if I want it with the letters or not. What do you think of when you think of electrical Copper wires, shock, outlets, lights? I want it to look professional still and unique. Also maybe add the Est. 1982 below. some cool designs I see that I like how the words tie in with the logo maybe symbol over the letters? Maybe the see some with the symbol separate from the name? The uploads are cool logos I saw I think I want something similar but for electrical and some different concepts. thanks
