Re: having the Packard coat of arms produced in EPS

The symbol of the pelican with her beak at her breast is ancient.http://donna.hrynkiw.net/sca/pelican/
Cormorants seem sleeker than pelicans, but I think they look more like the symbolic pelican than an actual pelican does. So when someone sees what should be a pelican on a Packard hood ornament, to most it looks more like a cormorant. So much so, there's a magazine named after it.
I took this photo, most likely, at Pt Lobos, California, south of Pebble Beach of cormorants.
In 2 weeks, I'll be there again for Pebble. Can't wait.
My question is why was this a symbol of Packard automobiles? What did this symbol represent for an auto company? (The Packard family crest does not have a pelican or other bird.)
Regarding the change in color of the coat of arms posted, the original file may be a TIFF or a JPEG in CMYK mode (for press printing) instead of RGB. Macs don't have a problem with that, but PCs often invert the colors.
