We need a new logo for www.netweather.tv for use on the main site, social media and printed output. This is our 10th year online and after a site redesign, we'd also like to refresh our logo and make it a little more bold and modern looking. We create forecasts for over 3million locations four times a day and regularly have over 1.5 million unique visitors every month, mostly from the UK. The new logo should use the current blue colour somewhere (the RGB is 49,53,132), be weather related and either be scalable to fit the space provided on social media (the square on twitter and fb for example) or have a central bold symbol that works as a standalone image. the company name doesn't have to be part of the design.. We have been using the sun image as our logo on social media, but really don't like the blue ribbon as it looks dated - but again some elements of the current logo are ok so don't only go for a completely new look. Thanks
There is also an opportunity for designing a replacement set of weather icons for the site too, which will be a separate project using vector graphics, ideally working with the same designer as the logo.
Updates
Thanks for all the designs so far, we have a few 'discussions' ongoing around the offices while we try to settle on a concept that works for us. I'll add some individual feedback today for each of you.

Sorry for the lack of feedback and replies, I was out of the office unexpectedly for a couple of days. We're going to extend the deadline to allow more time for feedback and updates, apologies again for the radio silence
