The term molten is supposed to denote heat and fluidity, and the liquid state of all modern materials, be they steel, silicon or alloy, before they solidify.  The name was chosen to invoke that initial heat of discovery and the fluidity of an evolving idea.&lt;br&gt;The &quot;look&quot; that I want is for the logo to be like it has just been poured and is still very hot, glowing, liquid, but also having some parts of its surface cooled maybe forming a cracked hardened surface(but clearly still molten metal underneath).  &lt;br&gt;I am looking for two visual elements in the logo: the words “Molten-Labs” (with a hyphen between the words) and some sort of ladle actually pouring molten metal out. I had thought that perhaps this poured metal is forming a droplet, which could also be like the stereotypical “idea light bulb”, but instead of the usual light bulb, it is a droplet of brilliant, liquid metal giving off light.  Perhaps some type of hybrid between the light bulb and droplet, as they are somewhat similar shapes.  This bright bulb / droplet could be the source of light that is actually illuminating the words “Molten-Labs”. &lt;br&gt;Also, perhaps the molten metal is splashing onto / into the letters of the words &quot;molten-labs&quot;, or splashing in some other fashion, perhaps into its own &quot;pool&quot; of molten liquid.  It should be clear that the poured molten metal (somehow) is describing ideas, thoughts, and creativity.  This is an idea, but we are open to other thoughts.&lt;br&gt;To maximize the contrast, perhaps the background could be a dark grey, or some sort of industrial texture, with a reflective ground surface from which &quot;Molten-Labs&quot; logo is subtly reflected.  &lt;br&gt;I am not against having the words “Molten-Labs” in lowercase, uppercase, or whatever font the designer thinks looks best, but there must be a hyphen between the words “molten” and “labs”.&lt;br&gt;While these are my current ideas, I am happy to accept new or novel ideas.  Something completely different would definitely be considered.&lt;br&gt;
