this shape isn't working

interesting placement of the heat waves, but I think the font looks too playful now - like the letters in perfection don't appear to be aligned - that combined with how round the font is, I think we're moving away from the 'professional, high-end' style we're looking for

as we know that a symbol is very important for brand identity

I know it's hard to combine the letter s and relate to steak weight by including the heat element, but I'll try to figure out how it fits, hope I hear back.

come up with more nature things

could we see different iterations with the text stacked?

I'm concerned that we may be covering up too much of the original icon - it's starting to look like a driver's wheel

I believe the text is difficult to read with this kind of warped effect

I don't like how this is now skewed - it's difficult to understand what the shape is and what it's doing

This round shape at the bottom doesn't work as our press is flat

I think the increased size of the font helps here, but am concerned about being able to easily read the words - could we see a version where the text is positive space instead of knockout?

Headed in the right direction, but I'm now concerned that are too many competing elements. The S shape feels lost, and the thickness of the line that flows into the solid shape in the center doesn't create enough depth between elements.

We want to make sure the SearPerfection name is the star of the show, but is there a way to keep SearPerfection the main element, and incorporate the S/flame icon?

I've submited options as well as your requested,
please let me know if any further options, feeling good and happy if I can give my best to fit all.
thanks

I like the flames and the s, as if it's a grill mark - could we see a variation with how the text is applied?
