Logo?
What do you guys think of this?

I've taken inspiration from the Chicago flag and replaced the stars with rotors. For the text I used a font similar to the signage for the Chicago Theatre.
I'm not a graphic designer but I am an industrial designer, so there is SOME form of thought process behind it. Your comments are welcome.

Today is the 51st anniversary of the invention of the rotary engine; I found a little blurb about it on wikipedia today. Good article to check out too, if you don't know all about the engine.

Does anybody know anything about P&LMotorsports? I might talk to them about tuning but want to know if anybody has any experience with them first. Thanks!

They are highly regarded in the local Subaru community. I've been told that one of their key employees, Jorge, used to tune rotaries. Also, that he used to work for Cobb Tuning. This has had me thinking about contacting them too.

Update: I just sent them a email and AIM message.

You are on the right track about why I need to contact them but I need to make sure they have a certain piece of software first because of the turbo.

I went to a car meet at P&L over a year ago and saw a black rx7 with an ls1. I doubt P&L did the work though.

In my message to them, I did mention about you (not by name) needing a tuning solution.

I know who he is. He is on RX7Club and sometimes posts and shows up to Chicago Rotary events.
