PArWest Group - Corp. Logo Design Opportunity

We are looking for best-in-class corp. logo for our company - PArWest Group. This will be our identity in a highly competitive market.....online lead generation in the automotive space. All in all.... the design should be smart, simply, edgy (perhaps) and clean.

This will be our corp. logo for PArWest Group and will reflect our identity....smart, efficient online marketing firm with current web properties in the automotive space (more about us below!)  However, I don't want the corp. logo to tie us into the auto space...as we may branch out into other verticals later. All in all the design should be smart, simply, edgy (perhaps), crisp and clean.

I have had some preliminary work completed already and would like to continue where it was left off.  It is also very important to note that I am also interested in seeing other ideas as well. 

The previous logo work can be found by following  this link...

With  regard to the previous PArWest Logo's (found above)...  I am interested in seeing a swoosh incorprated into the logo's.  The goal of the swoosh would be to faciliate the idea of a 360 rotation (visualize earth rotating). 

In the above link, I also included a Canadian Maple Leaf logo as well.  I added as I like the circular design and crispness of this logo.  Also included are a couple logo versions of first web property...CleanGreenAutos.com (CGA).  CGA is scheduled to go live shortly.

Lastly, if any of the above versions do nothing for you...feel free to let loose and let your creative genius take over.  I only ask that you stick with simple, crisp and clean design elements.

- Item 1... UPPER/LOWER CASE structure should follow.... - PArWest
- PArWEST
- PArWest Group  (group should be in exponential form)
- PArWEST Group (group should be in exponential form).
- Item 2 -Colors. -  I like the palette of the http://www.wii.com site. I also like the "new" greys, oranges, greens and blues currently being used in the marketplace. My thought is that the back ground is clean white (think wii.com ), the PArWest Font Color portion of the logo would be done in new grey/silver (think apple.com) and the swoosh would be in new blue ( think wii.com).  I also like the new oranges and green hues being utilized.
