Logo Design Brief
I need a logo design for a new specialty coffee bar opening in Gearhart, Oregon (Oregon coast). The logo will be used for web, social, signage, printed materials, ink stamp, apparel, etc., so will need all applicable file applications.
Looking for a minimalist, clean, vintage style logo. The name "Bolt" in the company name is in reference to a lightning bolt (given the rainy/stormy weather on the Oregon coast). Obviously, a lightning bolt would be the key element.
Would prefer to avoid using yellow as a color (i.e. for the lightning bolt), and would like to keep color palate with black, white, and possibly blue (not decided on a blue hue as of yet, however).
I have a few web links to sites that could be used for inspiration on tone/theme, as well as some pics for comparison.
The sign company that will be painting all my signage has great examples of the vintage style work that they do. Please check them out!

Thank you,

Requirements
Must have
- Vintage (20s/30s/40s era signs) look and tone. Definite want a minimalist look, but less modern than some of the designs that have been submitted thus far. I'm really leaning towards an early 1900's sign vibe.
- A lightning bolt element incorporated in the logo. Or used separately as a "bug" that can be used in conjunction with the primary logo.
- The company name "Bolt Coffee Bar"
Nice to have
- Colors: black or brown (primary colors) and white (secondary).
Should not have
- No coffee cup images/illustrations within the logo. It's too common...
