Need input on decal design for center cap....

I have a set of C5 Y2K rims on my GTA. I replaced the corvette logo center caps with plain chrome centers but now I need to design something as the rims look too bare without something in the center.

I have a few ideas already with the old "chief" logo but would lke to hear some different ideas from other members.

The car is medium quasar blue. I don't really want something like WS-6 as the parts that made the car a WS-6 are long gone and upgraded. Here are some of the OEM logo's I started with but I would love to hear some more before I get something made up......

I'd just go with the plain old arrow head. Clean, simple, timeless. You could even color match it to your car.

Check out some of the old Pontiac HOOD ornaments on E-bay. They might give you an idea on your center caps.

Thanks for the input so far. I actually don't mind the red firebird. It might look even better if it had another color on the outline.

Re: Need input on decal design for center cap....

Well here is what I had made up.....






Don't mind the dirty rim from the rotor rust, I just took the car out of 7 months of storage today I hate taking pics at night so I will get some more in the daylight as the decals are very subliminal on the chrome centers but look sooo much better than the original 'vette logo or just plain chrome as they were.
