200Years.com logo contest $25 due by Oct 13th

I am looking for a nice mainly font based logo for 200 Years no dot com needed in the logo, just "200 Years".

Colors I like are vibrant greens, blues or orange. Font logo with gradients, mirroring, lighting effects a plus. Just make it look good. If you want to add a symbol or graphic to go along with it, thats fine, I'll leave that up to the artists.

Please have your submissions in by Midnight EST. time on Oct 13th, this Saturday and I will post the winner on Sunday.
Winner will get $25 sent via Paypal.

Is your site 200years.com? What is the theme of your site?

 

Will definently be entering this.

 

Here's an attempt. Let me know what you think.

 

First try

 

Here is my entry,

 

Proficient - The 2 doesn't really grab my eye, on my lcd it is kind of light and you kind of struggle with where the logo starts, needs some more contrast. Maybe just darken a little bit more. Could I also see it on a black background?

bennettjw3 - Try going away from the baby blue and try more of a vibrant navy blue.

Kingsmart - nice contrast, will it be a full circle in the top right? I am worried about running that as the background color on the site without have that full circle, will look a little off. If that was meant, it would need a border around the whole thing to be able to drop it onto the website in my mind.

ZoharBlur - nice colors, flow well, needs a tad more contrast on the white background, maybe a 1px darker border around the letters or darken up that drop shadow you have on it already.

Thanks for everyone who has entered so far.

 

Feedback Appreciated.

Thank You,
Michael.
