The product will be have a brushed aluminum finish to it. I would like colors which go well with that, and have a very modern and clean/cool feel to them. For my website, I was thinking of using colors like an ice white, brushed aluminum, a grayish-blue, and/or perhaps a darker charcoal black...but I really think the logo design will determine allot of that..?

This is not totally set in stone, but I think it would be very cool to have an abstract/contemporary Viking face; either front or side profile, to the left of “VIKING Hydraulics” or “VIKING Hydraulics.com”. I would like “VIKING” to be more emphasized than the “Hydraulics/Hydraulics.com”.

Since this is a product that moves things…or has to deal with motion, I think it would be cool if you could kind of capture that in the logo design, if that makes any sense..?

Here are a few links which I hope will help better explain…
