Web 2.0 Logo Creator !

I think almost every casual web surfers already heard about Web 2.0, the latest buzzwords today. On first glance, they all spot large font, rounded corners, bright colors and a distinctive logo with the word “Beta” attached next to them. Just like this one,

The good news is, you can generate this logo freely with Web 2.0 Logo creator. The bad news is, the website only serves as a parody of Web 2.0 hype. There isn’t much customisation you can do with the logo creator aside from ticking “Add Reflection” and “Add Beta” option.

All in all this is a nice website which can serve as an example on future Web 2.0 logo creator. So is there anybody brave enough to come out with one?
