Be My Designer: Logo needed for Solar Business

United States Solar

We are a company that is located in Southern California. We have the desire to go national in the future. United States Solar is a company that does all sales, design and installation of the solar sysetm for residential and commercial buildings.

We are aiming to attract home owners as well as business owners. United States Solar wants to make the customer feel like they are dealing with a professional and friendly solar company.

We are looking for a logo to represent our Solar Company - United States Solar.

We would love for the logo to incorporate a map or outline of the United States and maybe incorporate a solar panel.
Please keep in mind a few things:

1. No Cartoons - we want to come across as a professional company that the customer wants to do business with.
2. We want a logo that will leave a lasting impression so when someone thinks about solar they think United States Solar.
3. We want the font to be easy to read but not to take over the logo.

Please feel free to experiment with colors.

The files that we would like are:
EPS
PDF
JPG

Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.
