Elite Auto Creations (Logo to abbreviate to EAC)Logo Design Contest

We do small collision repair, full custom car builds/restorations, and custom paint on nearly anything.

Originally my logo was red black and white. I am open to reds, oranges, greys, black,white, and blues.

I would like a logo that will translate well to print/advertisement on show cars:

Really like the idea of simply saying EAC instead of full business name (similar to UPS, etc)

Open to a logo that has a strong, memorable image to pair with EAC - for example, the horse/stallion associated with Ferrari. Obviously I don't want a horse, but maybe a paint gun or other tool I would use in my trade incorporated into the design?

Easily legible from very small print to large format
Easily identifiable in the mass of generic looking logos in the automotive industry
