REQ-LOGO $50 USD paid to the best logo design

[M3B2]

Type of Contest : LOGO Design
Prize : $50.00
Contest End Date & Time : 9.00PM MST : 7th February 2016
Size Requirements : 250px x 100px - Scalable vector and png
Color Requirements : I would like the design to be inline with the present site. View the site here: DNCalc.com - The background MUST be transparent and ideally the use of the colors on the home page and website data pages(orange, blue, green), however, I am open to other color formats.
General Requirements : The site is a website calculator. I would like to have a symbol or two that are relevant to each within the logo if possible. If shouldn’t however look crowded. Ideally it will be clean and corporate. The domain extension is not required within the design(but wouldn't be a downfall if you could include it and have it look nice and professional), but the name MUST be in it.
Additional Information : I will give feedback on every design submitted. Thank you very much for all the submissions ahead of time.

It is nice. I would have to say that it seems a bit plain. Not that a busy logo is what I am looking for but something a little less sterile would be good.

All the best with your project. My offer is withdrawn.

I was working on your logo for a little bit and came to the conclusion that your logo would look better without the calculator. I think the brand and website makes it obvious what the site is about, so I ditched the calculator completely and focused on custom font design. I made the "DN" orange, to add a little more color to your site (color suggestions welcome). Feedback appreciated, thanks.

Note: Higher resolution when you click the images.

I like it. It seems a little plain though, maybe a different looking logo would work. Not really sure.

@dotQuantum
I am unsure of this design.. I would have to ask for you to go back to the drawing board. I apologize.

I really like it, you went your own way and it turned out quite nicely. Was there a reason you used a gradient on the DN?

Thank you M3B2. The gradient was just to add a little depth and pizazz. It can be removed or you could have 2 versions with and without it, for the freedom of choice if you like. Please let me know if you'd like to explore more colors or graphic modifications.

The symbol is a color-coded calculator emitting hundred dollar bills. This creates a direct association in the mind of the user between your website and the worth of their domain.

The type is professional and the round corners give it an informal and friendly aspect. I capitalised the 'DN' and set 'calc' in lowercase to prevent it reading as 'DNC' 'alc'.

The size is as specified: 250 x 100px but can be enlarged to any size. Feedback appreciated.

In this version, the "Calc" has a font that is in my opinion a little more consistent with the rest of the logo. I've also explored the color green with a website mock-up, that I've created just for this contest. Green is interesting, because it relates to money and site "worth", but I understand if you'd like to stick with blue.

Oh, and I've also dropped the gradient and shadow, so that you can see what this logo is looks like in a simpler form. Higher res on click. Feedback appreciated, thanks.

I would like to thank you for the design, it is however just a little too plain. I'm not sure how I can give feedback to improve this though.

I like this one, it makes sense with the calculator and the dollar bills. It is a possibility, could you include the .com to see what it would look like?

I really like this, the delta symbol really speaks to me as "change" is the prime mover behind DNCalc.com. Could I ask if you could put the .com on the end to see what it looks like?
