For the flaming A's, I'd suggest possibly drawing some inspiration from the old Atlanta Flames logo:

Everyone forgets the Flames originally were based in Atlanta.
Have I told you how much I loathe your continued existence today?

Knowing Atlanta sports fans, they probably never knew they were here in the first place.

Here's my take on the Shockwave logo.

I like it! One weird thing though- the PVW above the shockwave logo looks off-center, for some reason. But I can see that it isn't...

It's the lack of a point from the O to balance the one coming up from the A. Your eyes are trying to center that to the logo. At least, that's what I think.

So, here's the question:

The logo utilizes the concept of electricity, which should be random. But, the 2nd prong on the H doesn't have the electrical bolt to it, while the other 3 do.

Do I add it and maintain uniformity, or let it go and keep it random? The K has similarity to the H, being only 1 bolt and no more. Maybe the W, A and V have too many. I don't know.

It may need a whole new take. I did opt to use the Heatwave backdrop to keep it unified, since we're not doing any brand split nonsense, but maybe it needs its own unique take.

I like keeping the similarities between the two. There doesn't need to be a reason for them to be different, especially if Brian and Rob are pushing for Shockwave to be taken on close to the same level as Heatwave. Uniformity works in this situation.

As for the bolts... I like the H as it is. 4 bolts would be a little excessive I think. The only thing that grabs my attention as out of place is the bottom right... with the W, A and V having a whopping 5 bolts shooting out side by side. It seems to kinda drown out the randomness of the rest of the bolts to have that many right in a row. Perhaps cutting one of the W bolts out? Or maybe the bottom V bolt? I'll leave that to the artists to consider which (if any) should go... but it does seem lopsided towards that end of the logo as a casual observer.
Working on new characters you didn't see a decade ago. Honest.

I agree with your thoughts and did some tweaks toward that end. I think the balance is there more, overall, now.
