As a pet project of mine, I am developing a Content Management System for the web. Not exactly ground breaking stuff, but I gotten far enough to feel that the system deserves a logo.
However, I have only very little experience with logo creation, so I thought I'd give rentacoder a try...
My system is called EZDC, as in Easy Digital Content.
The logo for EZDC must be "customizable" so that I can use both EZ and EZDC as separate logos. Also, I have several taglines prepared (like "As EZ as it gets" and so on), so that has to be customizable too.
For colors I am imagining blue-ish tones and a classy/stylish feel. If any graphics are included, they should (symbolically) lean towards one or more of the following keywords: simple, iteration, web, digital and/or content.
To begin with, I had enclosed some examples of my existing logo, but decided to remove them in order to secure a "fresher" perspective on things...

I have extended the bidding deadline by a week, so it's now April 23rd. I found out that someone misused my Visa (via PayPal!), so I've had to block the credit card. That means I can't deposit the money required to continue this bid request (not trusting PayPal anymore either). Also, I am going away for Easter (I wouldn't be able to communicate with the bid winner for a week), so all in all extending the deadline is the most decent thing to do.
Sorry guys!
