In your first one I like the bold of the Midwest, and that it is uniform. I also think it is correct to have the name a bit smaller than the logo as you do (height wise) I am maybe looking for somthing that is differerent for the box before the name although with that being said I think you have the correct idea.
In entry 6 I like how you can see the electric and generator better than the #1 entry, but not sure how that can be acompished without having a crazy large left box. Not too thrilled on the M as a different color at least for this lay out.... but I am open to other ideas.
Thank you for the hard work and I am impressed you submitting the first logo and its so very close to the style I like :-)
