BoilerHub.com - New Website Logo Needed!

BoilerHub.com

I have been involved with developing a variety of commercial and consumer websites over the last 10 years. We have used 99Designs in the past and have had great success. Our company culture is progressive, casual, and professional. I personally love artistic cutting-edge designs, as long as they are flexible, simple to read, and reproduce in print as well as various online applications. Thanks for wanting to help with our most current project!

The logo design for our BoilerHub.com project would be medium to small business owners or equipment purchasing personnel. The purpose of the website is to create a better market for business owners to find new and used boiler systems and to have the option to rent boiler equipment in order to save money for start-ups or companies who are struggling. I would like the logo to convey a simple, clean, and effective service to help these people find what they need.

I am looking for a nice logo design that can be used on the website, business cards, e-mail stationary in a couple of various sizes. The standard file types will work for our purposes.

From a design standpoint, this obviously deals with industrial equipment and a business to business application, but I am really looking for something cool, creative and eye catching. I want to stand out from the boring, conventional business logos in this space.

I would like to highlight an industrial flare and maybe some symbol(s) that represent power plants, machinery, or steam in this case. Get creative! Ultimately, the site will be a marketplace for buyers and sellers to meet and discuss used equipment options and needs for all types of industrial equipment, so symbols relating to connecting people will work as well.

All color pallets are open.

Most of the logos in this space are just plain horrible - just google "Boiler rentals" and look around to see what I mean.

Here is a single logo I found in this space that was somewhat interesting to me:

But I'm not necessarily looking for a knock off or version of this design. Submit anything that you think looks nice!

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.
