*** $20 Logo CONTEST *** Quick!

This will be quick.

I need YOU to create a logo for a website I am working on right now. It will be a language learning course. Spanish, German, French, Italian, Japanese...

The name of the company is LingoBasics - no space between Lingo and Basics.

I also need a caption under the name:
"Learning Languages - made simple."

I want something Web2.0'ish, something HIP yet Professional.
Maybe with a reflection underneath the main text?

Feel free to go wild and VERY creative on design, images, colors.

Maybe adding some flags because it's "INTERNATIONAL" sort of thing? Well, I am not very creative when it comes to LOGOS - this is why I am posting it here.

The Winner gets 20$ by PAYPAL.

Please POST YOUR ENTRIES HERE.

The flags of the countries you listed are in the word "Lingo."

Let me know what you think! Thanks!

 

I've been a graphic designer for 10+ years.

Here are two tries, each professional and using flags:




Images/fonts can be changed and items can be rearranged if needed. Thanks!

 

Since I didn't have anything precise in my mind - I like them all Keep them coming.

However, from what I have seen so far:

- I prefer LIGHTER colors over the dark ones.
- I like color - but TOO much is too much.
- Simple could work very well.

Alex, I have made some changes based on your feedback. Thanks for responding quick,
and let me know what you like or dislike about version 2!

Simple, one light color:

 

Here's a simpler version, still Web 2.0ish looking, bright and professional:

 

There is my first try

 

My favorite so far.

thelebeau, could you try to change the color a bit? Something darker for the text, maybe some type of red? And could you make the reflection a little more intense?

I would also like a small IMAGE like logo incorporated... Not just text.
A few examples here: http://jamessdesigns.wordpress.com/, http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/1806/majesticlogohm3.jpg
Each logo has some kind of square, circle, box image in it... Not only text
