$25 logo contest for CXC.com (Credit cards and personal finance advice)

I’m looking to have a logo designed for the following Name:
CXC.com
With the following slogan:
Credit Cards, Loans and Mortgage 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 CXC.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 with articles and information on Credit card deals and mortgage and loan advice.

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

Hello,

Here's my try at it...

 

Thanks for your entries.
Okay here is some feedback:

Pat3ck – I like the colours, but sadly it’s just a bit too plain for me.

A-Q – I really like it, I can see the Letters and it’s an interesting design – it’s in the top 2.

CR70 – it’s a good design, sadly it doesn’t work for the subject matter of the site.

Watari – wow, it’s a very cool design – this is the other top 2 entry, not sure how it can be improved, but I feel there is something missing, sadly I can’t put my finger on it.

Aaron 700 – Nice design, it’s just a little too plain for my liking.

DrDesigner – sorry, but none of the designs work for me.

Bizzard – nice design, but again something seems to be missing.

Seni – I quite like the lower green one, but it’s missing the .com

Jcprseven – Sadly none of them work for me – it just doesn’t fit with the image of what I want the site to be.

Thanks again everyone and please keep the designs coming. 48 hours left.

Just FYI, i am running 5 design contests all of them are listed below:
