#175 The symbol you have created, for me, offers several meanings. Firstly, the flame which is warm. Secondly, the 3d feel you have created, is like a ribbon spinner at the Olympics. Thirdly, the slightest hint that you're trying to spell SEA. Lastly, it's not a sun symbol.
What I would like to see develop in this symbol is maybe a bit more 3d, more of a ribbon spin that may give more impression of a lowercase e, if possible. The 2nd flame you added, may look stronger a little further to the right. The last thing would be to try to make the 2 orange colours more different, they're too close in colour. Maybe use a blue, as a gas flame. These are suggestions, and would like to see your creative skills at work.
The wordmark font seems a little heavy, and maybe lose the line between wordmark and tagline. Overall, this could be a excellent contender to win!
#178 Symbol feels too intricate and complicated
