Anvil Fence CompanyLogo Design Contest

Since 1961 (Please do not make that part of the logo; it should be separate but compatible, so the logo can be used without it.)

We are a fence contractor. 95% of our work is commercial. We want to expand awareness and also attract more residential business. We want our new logo to convey a feeling of security and substance.

Black and red (PMS 1805)
Possibly greyscale, too

Current Logo, plus a mockup of an idea I came up with, are attached.

I would like to see a "fence" or "gate" element added to the logo (perhaps using negative space?) Consider using elements of a chain-link fence.

I definitely do want an anvil in the logo and want to use the same anvil that already is in the current logo, perhaps without the hammer (just the anvil itself, such as is shown in the gray-on-black treatment that I made).

I am fine with keeping the same font (Clarendon BLK BT) as the existing logo (at least in the word ANVIL, as it's been part of the logo for a long time.

Finally, please don't make the logo any moe "horizontal" than it already is. This places limitations on how/where I can use it.
