Legacy Please help Create Logo for my Website

Hi guys,

Is it possible for someone to work their magic and help me with a logo? Below is the questionnaire of my needs. Thank you guys so much in advance for your help.


1) What is the exact name you would like in your logo?
Say-U

2) What is your website address (ex: http:/site .com/; Site Name)?
Unfortunately, I don't have one yet. I'm trying to get a logo first to get the ball rolling. Is it possible to make the background transparent?

3) Description of your website or business:
I am going to run a product review blog/website. I am looking for something that is simple, professional, yet fun/hip with a cool color scheme with only 2-3 colors. I am looking for something with a "cool" factor. A darker mascot or item in the back, but the text to be brighter so the name of my site could stand out. Logos in question 4 is close to what I am looking for.

4) Search the Internet for any logos/designs on the web that you feel convey
the style you are looking for?
Kotaku Logo (I like the color and the type of font used as it stands out and is hip. The logo is simple, yet fun):

Lifehacker Logo (I like how it is simple, yet eye catching and the font is clear and easily readable):

5) Requested size of your logo:
If possible, may I have a low and high resolution of the logo? I am starting with a web site, but as I continue this project, I intend to use it for posters and shirts as well to help promote the site.


6) Do you have any images/photos that can be used for the logo? (must be copyright free)
Sorry, I don't have a image and could not even begin to draw as to what I'm looking for. An image like from the link or something similar in style would be absolutely awesome.

A Fierce Megaphone (logo like the tower) behind "Say-U" Text (if possible) Thinking of making a megaphone acting as my mascot. (only talking about the megaphone tower) I like the fierceness of the logo. Seems simple and not too distracting, especially with a light color text "Say-U" in the front.:

Another Megaphone. I like again, how it looks fierce and punk rockish. Also, It does not use too many colors and does not take a way from the image. It looks almost as a silhouette, so it is simple looking, but has the hip factor. Sorry for the long URL. Had trouble linking image.

Hi All,

It doesn't have to be something overly complicated.

Thanks

 

How this for you? ?

 

I like the font and shading of the lettering. Attached is a rough sketch of how I would like it, but because I'm a total noob in graphic design, I need major assistance and turning this into a graphical/digital format, so it doesn't look hand drawn. Also, if someone has their own interpretation of this logo, I would love to see it. Thank you Much!!!!

 

Is this the correct outline?

 

YES!!!! That looks awesome!!!! Is it possible to keep the star a little distorted like my design? If not, no big deal. Also is it possible to have the chinese characters 西友 vertically on the U? It says seiyu, which is a play on words for "say-u"....Thank you soooo much for your help and would love to see it colored with my desired colors and with the slogan "The Voice of Many"

 

Ok?

 

It looks great!!!! I like how you added the white border around the letters. Is it possible to keep the 3-D shading effect black and keep the colors a solid color like your first design. It looks you added some glare effect. Also, could you change the outline of the star into neon blue, so it doesn't blend with the text? I loved it how you left the star filling, white. Didn't think of that, it really is starting to come together. Could you add the slogan "The Voice of Many" like my original and make it the same neon blue color as outline of the star and I think you've got it I attached the type of pink and blue I would like. As always...thank you soooo much for your help
