I would like someone to design a logo for my new start up market research company which I'm calling The Insights Grill (My name is Ben Grill). I want it to look like a art deco american diner logo. I have a few pictures that I can share - the things I'd like the designer to consider playing with are: classic art deco font, a font that looks like neon/flouro lighting that connects together, art deco hortizontal lines, maybe a circle, maybe checkers (very art deco'y), maybe a little flame or smoke to play with the Grill connotation.
It should be a bit fun and playful - yet professional.
UPDATE: I've done a sketch on my own that I'd like to see brought to life. I'd like to see those horizontal art deco lines on the sides, the word Insights written with that scriptive neon lighting like the Johnny Rockets logo attached, and could you try the word GRILL underneath in all caps using that classic art deco font like you see in the Metro Diner image. Please see the sketch that I'm uploading (simple pen drawing - I'm no artist!) Thanks all!
Target Market(s)
People who hire me include market research managers, brand strategists, marketing people, CEOs, media planners, insights professionals. I'm known for being a creative researcher - i like to go out to people's homes and interview them there instead of boring focus group rooms. So the logo should be a bit vibrant but not too comical.

Requirements
Must have
- I'd like the word Insights to be the most important word in the logo. "The" and "Grill" play lesser roles.
Also - if you decide to do it on a black background, I will ultimately need it to work on white too.
Should not have
- Although I've given lots of ideas above, don't feel like you need to incorporate them all. That would probably be overkill / too cluttered. I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
