Logo Design Brief
Starting a small engineering consulting firm primarily serving the power utility industry but will also eventually do renewable. Majority of the employees will be electrical engineers with background in high voltage applications. The name of the company is Hive Power Engineering LLC.
For the logo, I imagined a hexagon with a lightning sign on it but I am very open to ideas. Please do not include a gear in the logo. blue or colors around it is preferred. Attachments have simple designs that i could get off the shelf. If similar design is being used, I am looking a bit more creativity so that it differentiates from what's out there. Shinning effects like the ones in the samples are welcome.
Overall, the logo should blend hive/hexagon well with electrical/power engineering. looking for simple, professional, elegant and modern design.
If using initials for the logo, please consider HPE as well instead of only HP
Thank you all for the designs. These are really high caliber designs. just a few notes in general: please consider HPE if you use initials instead of only HP. Also, if you submit a 3D design (the shiny ones on black background), I would like to see the 2d version since typically 2d version doesn't even come close to how 3d looks. I would suggest using similar colors, and shining affects on the 2d version similar to how it is on 3d. colors are really vivid on 3d but almost dead on 2d. thank you all again, will be hard to chose
Also, if you submitted a logo with a circle, I would prefer it to be an hexagon. wouldn't be a decision factor as of now, since I know how it looks now and know that it can easily be changed. but anyone plans on submitting a logo with circle, please use hexagon instead...thanks again

Logo Text
Open to any ideas. I initially thought name of the company next to the logo. HIVE POWER first line, the rest on second line. If the logo is being designed with letters only, no preference for now.

Requirements
Must have
- Good blend of the name Hive and what the company does. creative...
Nice to have
- keep simple but creative. Colors are all open although I initially thought of blue. overall, soft colors are preferred. It'd be good if one submits multiple preliminary ideas in the beginning instead of spending too much time on the first one.
Should not have
- Gear symbol. shouldn't have extreme colors. colors should be soft and blend together well.
