Logo for Marina Listing Website

Marina Central is looking for a unique logo for its future website. The logo will be used on brochures, postcards, the website, invoices, and any other documents/necessities. This should be a fun project for any designer looking to be creative and unique.

Our company name is "Marina Central". Our slogan is: "Choose Your Marina Today! "

Marina Central

Marina Central is a recreational boating site where users can view information about boating service companies. It will bring together the world of boating onto a simple, effective webpage. Users will be able to find major boat business locations in their respective areas, as well as around the U.S and other countries in the future. This logo will be one of the most important things to the company, as it will be seen everywhere the company name is.
Examples of logos we like:

These are not what we are looking for exactly; we just like the way they are formatted and how they are easily viewable.
Remember: The goal is to let the user know that this is a site for recreational boating, so it will include boat(s), water, sunshine, and any other things related to lakes and boating.
