Logo Design Brief

My hubby has started a new mechanical company, and this logo needs to reflect his personality and work ethic, AND to stand out in a sea of *lame* plumbing company logos.

So about hubby: he's a double-ticketed Journeyman plumber/gasfitter and Journeyman steamfitter who knows his shit but doesn't take himself too seriously. He call it like he sees it, and has a wicked sense of humour. Also important to note, he's cool. He's a stud. This logo needs to be BAD ASS.

As far as the company, services include plumbing, gasfitting and steamfitting (for new residential and commercial construction, as well as 24-hour service/repairs). IMPORTANT: Let's not be too prosaic - so anyone planning to send us a logo featuring a toilet, a pipe wrench, or any suggestion of fecal matter, you are kindly excused. Creative geniuses, read on.

The company name is Burns Mechanical Ltd. (our last name is Burns) so feel free to play with interesting (ie: not cheesy) renderings of fire/flames in the design... but this is NOT a requirement. We definitely want to see other ideas too.
Colours to include bright orange and light cyan blue. We like bold. The logo should express that Burns Mechanical Ltd. will do the job right, with the most up-to-date methods, for a fair price.
