Sounds like a Mazda, though the black color sounds like it was painted, and was originally chrome.  This emblem comes from the Zoraostrian god, Mazda, which is where Mazda gets its name.  The emblem is actually a stylized flame, as Mazda was a creation god.  I had the emblem on my 99 Miata, 93 MX-6 and 96 Protege.  Mazda replaced the emblem with a stylized flying M a few years ago.

Mazda is now coming out with a Club edition Miata.  It has a black club emblem (Like in a deck of cards), and lots of blackout trim.  I saw one the last time I took my Mazda6 in for service.

Here's Mazda's latest logo.  I don't know what's wrong with Mazda but they can't seem to stick with the same logo.
