Reliable Systems Incorporated (or---RSI)

I am a Service Disabled Veteran. That is an important part of my companies identity. Also I put myself through college, built my own house, and now I am building a company. My father owned a similar company in this area called TMC Technologies. (http://www.tmctechnologies.com) I am following in his foot steps looking to make a name for myself with a fresh look at the business and new ideas for improvement. These are big shoes to fill, and I need your help to create a visual identity that will forever be associated with Reliable Systems Incorporated as well as myself!

I am targeting an existing market with this company. Federal work is a major part of this business, but commercial work is a factor as well. A lot of my competitors have been here for years and have a recognized brand with the client base in the area. So I want to really stand out.

I would like to see options with the full name as well as just RSI...If anyone can think of an original symbol of some sort that would be fantastic. I prefer choices that look good in color (for web design and brochures) As well as Black and white (for letter head ect.) Be creative thats why I am coming to you! I would prefer not to have animals or stick people or anything like that but some sort of abstract shape would be cool. This is my first time doing this sort of thing so show me what you got! Thanks and have fun! I will attach a list of some of my local competitors web sites so you can see what I am up against!
