i do not like the cactus w/the lights and the pipe fitting, it's too busy. but i do like the light effect coming from the left

going with another idea. a cactus, lighting fixtures on top of cactus referring to lighting, and an irrigation sprinkler at the base of the cactus as well

can you play with the copper color a little? it may look too bronze

this looks much better

tried to simplify the cactus a little bit and used gradient colors for both icon and text to give that '3d' copper metallic copper look

the right arm of the saguaro looks awkward, like it's oversized. the font can use some attention, maybe

ok, i see that now. but it isn't obvious and doesn't fully work for my company, but maybe.
I also like the font to be a little more squattier (shorter and wider)

I like the original w/the brick. if you could make the saguaro in the negative space a little more obvious somehow

the idea behind this is Arizona state map, cactus/power socket (referring to electricity) and bricks for construction

I like the Arizona boundary, i like the light effect on the brick, but it looks too bronze and would like to see more of a copper. Also, i like an all-caps font.

it's a map of Arizona State constructed of bricks (referring to real estate/construction) and a cactus shown on the negative area of the map.
