I really like # 1 visually, but im not sure it conveys the message i kinda need. im not sure really how it could be changed to get at what i need, but it really is a beautiful design.
Thank you for your nice comment.I saw my original design as showing a leaf symbolizing lawn care in front of a clean burning flame. I have created a stronger icon, a green leaf combined with a blue shape that could represent the purity of water or flame. I hope you like it.
