Logo Design Brief
I need a new logo design. I build high-end custom homes and remodels. I'd like to see designs that incorporate a simple, bold, stand-alone icon that clearly represents the name by itself (i.e. "SW"), but also has the words "Stillwater Construction" next to it/below/above it. Most of my signage, website, printed material is done on dark charcoal or black backgrounds, so we like bold, rich colors that pop.. i.e. reds, oranges, etc. I want to logo to look good on a truck, hats, jackets, etc. I also want it to feel 'new' and contemporary, not typical. Could either play off the notion of still, calming water, or elegant home design.
Should integrate well with my current business card (attached).
Our website is www.stillwaterconstructionbend.com... lots of images there, and general 'feel' of my builds.

Requirements
Must have
- Should be able to be abbreviated or cropped so it's an 'icon' or image that stands alone without the words Stillwater Construction, and is easily recognizable as Stillwater Construction, not just an abstract image. The logo as a whole, however, should include the words "Stillwater Construction".
- My construction tends to use lots of rustic/reclaimed wood, paired with steel and natural rocks/stone.
Nice to have
- Rich, bold color(s). I love dark reds, charcoal, deep blues, etc.
