Blaze - Logo for hot new software startup

Blaze

We need a logo for a software company. The company, Blaze, provides software that intelligently optimizes the performance of Websites. Blaze enables site owners to improve their user experience by dramatically reducing page load times.

Blaze will be sold globally to Website owners who want to improve the performance of their sites for their users. The typical buyer is a IT exec. The user would be a site architect/developer or site operations engineer.

The scope of the project is to create a logo, business card template and simple style guide e.g. general look and a color palette (which will be used for a website).

The Company name is Blaze. Our website domain name is Blaze.io. We are considering working the .io into the tag line as "Intelligent Optimization". We are open to different options on this point and would consider logos with just plain Blaze or blaze.io or Blaze with the tag line. We have also not decided on whether to capitalize the B in Blaze or not. Help us decide with some good options and recommendations.

- The logo must be 100% original. Absolutely no clip art.
- The logo must contain the word, "Blaze".
- The logo can be a straight word mark or can contain an image.
- We are looking for a clean, contemporary look, cutting edge but professional.

Do not waste time designing a business card unless you have a 3-Star Rating. Getting the logo right is the first step. Once the logo is complete, the business card and style guide should be easy.

The Logo will be used on the Web and in stationary. As suggested by 99 designs, we ask for the art in a vector format like that produced by Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator. Also include a JPEG.
