Logo for trademark

I need a logo to go with our trademark. It needs to be a simple yet recognizable logo. It can only have a few colors and it needs to be possible to use it as a single color logo as well. I think the USB logo (check [login to view URL]) is a good example of the kind of work we are looking for. We are controlling (LED) lighting with our Hydra technology. Hydra means something like '9-headed beast' (sorry, in a previous version of this description I mistakenly used the number 5). If you google the word 'Hydra' and click on 'images' you might get some inspiration. I guess we are kind of looking for a combination of this 9-thing & lighting. I expect the coder to deliver a number of rought ideas after which we pick a couple for further detailing. From this we pick a final one which needs to be finished off. Delivarable is a non compressed bitmap in a standard format. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
