We really like both logos, any change you can put the continents on the the image in # 13 to make it look like a globe. Keep the same design/shape (flaming ball/droplet), just the black colored part to look like the world.
Also, it would be great if you can center the "INC." in between the line, similar to # 6, centered and ALL CAPS, maybe in grey or silver.
Thanks so much for your entries, you really pin-pointed my description. Masculine, high-tech, and clean.
