I like the simple look of #62, and the flame inside #61. I'm not all that interested in a oil drop logo, and I've already got too many of them. Can you keep trying to work towards a sophisticated look for me? My audience is 40 year old business people. I'd like to see something that has rock layers in it, with a bit of complexity, yet still elegant.
#186 is nice. You can go back to colour now. I just needed to see it in black and white to see if the icon's worked. I like the magnifying glass. Geology's international symbol is two crossed rock hammers. It might be better.
