    Hello, I'm new to the site and I've basically just been helping around doing what I can, (which unfortunately do to my lack of artistic talent is limited to website reviews and the such) and was hoping I could please receive some help with a logo. I am currently a stand-up comedian, and I am in need of a logo for both my future website, and current YouTube channel. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated it.

    1) What is the exact name you would like in your logo?
    Jordy Kieto, is the text I would like in the logo. Positioning; I would like the text to be slightly overlain the main image, and as to location of the text; either top or bottom, whichever feels natural, just not on the side.

    2) What is your website address (ex: http:/site .com/; Site Name)?
    NA

    3) Description of your website or business:
    I am a stand-up comedian

    4) Search the Internet for any logos/designs on the web that you feel convey
    the style you are looking for?
    dontj.png I would like to be drawn in cartoon, and this is the art-style and design I was aiming for, minus the headphones of course, and with a microphone.
    387452_10150437492492745_399277127_n.jpg To help drawing the face, here is a picture of myself, I would like to be smiling.
    Comedy-Central-Logo.jpg I also really love how this entire logo is so centralized and circular, and would love if my logo could follow suit. I would also like my text (whatever color it is) to be done similarly in regard to having a base color, with another color outlining it.
    chrisrock-logo.jpg This design I really love, and minus the black box, is what I want the entire logo to be modeled after. And for the background, I don`t need it to be bricks like in this picture; anything or nothing will do. I would like to have a purple dress shirt and a similar black top to what Chris has on. I don`t have any preferences as to the mic design but I would like the position its held in to be similar to this one.

    5) Requested size of your logo:
    This logo will be printed on shirts and various merchandise, and also used on the web. I would really appreciate a very high resolution


    6) Do you have any images/photos that can be used for the logo? (must be copyright free)
    hopefully that was expressed clearly in step 4) if not I would be more than happy to elaborate

    7) What logo styles do you like (text only, image only, text and image, etc.)?
    Text and image

    8) What colors do you want to see in your logo?
    To match with the dress shirt, I would some purple incorporated in it.

    9) What colors do you NOT want to see in your logo?
    none really

    10) Describe the target audience for your logo
    I am really aiming for the teen and above demographic

    11) What are the top 3 things you would like to communicate through your logo?
    • I am a stand-up comedian
    • I am fun and goofy
    • I am professional
    12) Where will your logo be used (print, website, etc.)?
    Websites, youtube, printed on t shirts and assorted goods

    13) Do you have other info or links you want to share?
    None

    14) Finally we need is there a style font you prefer, please let us know.
    I would like `Throw My Hands Up in the Air`` font by Kimberly Geswein on dafont.com For the text, as stated before, I would like the same effect of thick bold text outlined in a different color found in both the Comedy Central logo, and the DontJealous Me logo



    Thank you very much for taking the time to even bother reading this, I sincerely do appreciate your help in this matter it means a lot to me, and I will continue helping out the community in whatever way I can!

    hey ishkey thank you very much for taking the time to do this! umm basically I guess Imlooking for a cartoon version of the chris rock album cover but with me.(The artstyle I was I was thinking of for the cartoon is that of the "DontJealous Me" logo.)

    The text you made is EXACTLY what I was looking for.

    and you made me smile!! very cool, and thank you again!

    After 4 hours of moving my stylus pen, good to know I got the font style right and that I made you smile.
    Not to sure I can do a cartoon version but if anyone else needs or wants the letters I will post them up.

    TAB, you could always 'cartoon yourself' here and then when you have done that we / Ishkey could add the text to complete the logo?

    Hey, so I completely get that the original idea might be to time intensive to complete, but I made the cartoon versions. Sorry I really no editing capable of doing this, but would it possible for someone to remove the background color (so I have a transparent background), and add my name to the bottom with the text that ishkey overlain at the bottom of the image, and instead of an "i" in kieto, a microphone? I would really appreciate, and sorry to everybody for all the trouble.
    Thank you again!

    no offense - I was just trying to understand it all and figure out how to make what you wanted without infringing on Chris Rock.
    I was working on this before you posted up the characterize version of yourself.

So basically, your image, with the text Jordy Kieto at the bottom overlain, but instead of an "i" a microphone
