$25 Logo Contest for FEJ.com (Foreign Exchange site)

[staffjam]

I’m looking to have a logo designed for the following Name:
FEJ.com
With the following slogan:
Foreign Exchange & Currency Advice

Prize: $25 paid to the winner (Via Paypal)

Contest end Date: Wednesday at 20:00 GMT.

I'd like the design to look classy and professional, but it must also be funky and fresh. So i'm pretty open at this point as i've got no set ideas in mind.
But I do want to be able to read the domain name very easily (letters must be clear.) - So FEJ.com
I realise it’s a bit vague, but once I’ve seen a few designs I’ll have a better feel for what I’m after.
I’m not sure about emblems but it would be nice to see some logos with these built in as well.
I have a site Namecake.com and I like what the designer did with the emblem there – this is just an example and I’m not looking to have it copied, but I think the design is professional and pretty good.
Banks.Net has a nice looking logo - if it was jazzed up a little that sort of thing could be great.

The site will be an information resource centre giving tips and updates on Foreign Exchange, Forex trading, and currency conversion charts and rates.

Thanks, I look forward to seeing your designs. I will give regular feedback.

Thanks for your entries.
Okay here is some feedback:

Skullborg – the top design is your best entry, but I feel it needs to be jazzed up a bit and the letters must be more obvious.

Anidesign – nice tidy logo – but there’s something about it that’s not right.

Pat3ck – interesting design, and it’s definitely on the right track.

Dimitri123 – It’s fantastic. I especially like the top design. This entry is in the lead.

Thanks for all your entries and please keep them coming, 48 hours to go.
