Default Graphic Design Logo for shop, anyone?

Before anyone gets angry The only reason I am asking this here is because I know alot of Drag Racers and thier sponsors and companies come in here.

But I recently opened my own shop and was wondering where to go, or who I might talk to, to design a logo for my business?

Is there a nation wide "well known" company that you can submit and idea to an see what they can come up with?

I live in Mobile Alabama, and locally I cannot seem to find anyone who can help me, most of them say "whats a piston" or "whats a crank pulley"

just lookin for some honda-tech help

thanks

You live in alabama. Have you heard about our legislative session for 3 months and they didnt do squat? Well teh education budget was one of the things they didnt get passed so they layed off non-tenured teachers until the budget gets passed. Many teachers got pink slips so we may get lucky.

people I have used in the past

Also, a lot of the car show people use SGXmedia.com out here, they might have some good graphic design going, although I've never used them for graphic design
