Who wants to make me a logo?
I've tried getting a few people to design me a logo but nothing ever comes in a way where I can say "wow". Basically, I'm looking for a logo for my shop which I've decided will be called "RX-Tuning & Performance" or RX-Tuning for short. Describes what I do and is easy to remember, what do you guys think?
Maybe we can do a contest and winner gets something, ionno. But anyway I'd like the logo to suggest the rotary connection with a rotor etc. Possibly a rotor mascot similar to Nextmod? I like the color blue (clearly) but also like simplicity. I like the RX-8 font too but I don't think that is an actual font.
Should I do a contest?

I did these up in a few minutes between classes. Obviously colour palette and font are completely temporary just to give you an idea. Whaddaya think? I'm not sensitive so feel free to be honest.

I thought about that, but it would make it a bit more difficult to do stickers that way I ignorantly assume. I say that because as everyone knows, stickers are the best form of low-cost JDMfanboi marketing!

This one mates the Canadian theme and the Japanese red circle thing, as well as a better non-conflicting colour palette like the previous blue and red and has a more professional-looking font. It just doesn't have the blue.

Put two small rotors on each side of rx-tuning. Throw some atomic graphics/dragons to appeal to the inner bad *** and away you go 
I like your logo. Simple. You can identify the number and business name easy. Sometimes things get to complicate/graphical. I like the fact you show first gen and third yet you are missing one generation. The last one. RX8. BUt you can't skip the third gen.

I don't want to seem like I'm spamming the page so I'll just provide these next two revisions in links.

Sorry about taking so long to reply guys, been a little busy this week. But thanks for all the input so far, I wasn't expecting this many different ideas. But this is what I was hoping for, to have a few different ideas as I had no idea what I really wanted. I guess I'll put my input thus far...
I actually like this design as its quite different. It is a little big/complex/colorful which wouldn't work as a sticker too well as most people don't want to have big bulky stickers. I can see it working for a business card though. I like the Toronto, Canada part, Canadian rotary pride, we need more of that! Issue I see with having the cars, is it would be difficult to include all generations, or would it?
I really like the rotor and love the font (exactly what I wanted font wise). But the wizard! Where did that come from LOL, I don't see me ever loving that. This might work as a sticker if its made simple enough. I don't know about the RX-TP, it sounds funny to me, what do you think?
This is the kind of simplicity I was looking for a possible sticker.
I had an idea also if anyone could create it into fruition. I made a quick paint sketch of it. I could see it working as a simple white sticker like Nextmod's. I just put the rotor holding a turbo and a rotor but the mascot doesn't need to be holding anything. I just thought it would make my 2 second paint drawing have a little more content compared to you guys. You guys are awesome, I'm already smiling.
I got the idea from a customer of mine that had a rotor giving it in the butt to a piston. I thought it looked kinda cool...

the wizard looks cool.
.Opinion?: what about just put RX on the wizard's Head(instead of RX-TP)..then put Tuning and Performance at the bottom.
Performance would be all along the bottom,under the Rotor with the wizard inside it,the TUNING and & would be on the wizards smock.Beard tip area.)
you may get the idea like this???
...................RX............................. .
................../Wizard\............................. .
................TUNING........................... .
....................&............................. . .
............PERFORMANCE.................... .

I'll see what I can do on your idea. Cartoon Rotor holding a turbo, got it!
The RX- is the actual 8 logo, the balance a font, T P is hand lettered from the logo outlines.

I think you should draw inspiration from the TEIN mascot when making a rotor mascot. Or maybe something epic like the cartoon rotor holding the turbo over his head like a trophy.

While I was looking for some inspiration I ran across this, I just had to post!:
