Happy Studying

Moof University creates biochemistry (and other science) video tutorials on YouTube on a "pay-what-you-like" basis, in addition to offering paid private online and in-person tutoring in math and science.

I've imagined orange, blue, and white, but I don't want that to limit the designer. I'm open to anything and everything, when it comes to colors.

I would like a cartoon version of myself that looks like a stereotypical "nerd" or "dweeb" (maybe with glasses) but also has a sort of "cool" element to him - perhaps a backwards snapback cap on? Perhaps he's also wearing a lab coat with a t-shirt and jeans, while holding study materials? Essentially, I'm thinking: a cool smart dude who likes science. I'd like the character to be smiling or laughing, so as to convey joy for science. I'd also like the words "Moof University" to be somewhere in the logo. I had a thought about using the lenses of the glasses as the "O's" in "Moof." So, if that can be incorporated, that would be great to see, but it definitely would not deter me to see the words above, beneath, or beside the character, completely away from the glasses.

That aside, I'm also a tutor, and I'm often using a whiteboard during tutoring sessions. So, perhaps that can be incorporated when thinking about this character?

A friend of mine turned a photo of me into a cartoon, attached as "Moof University Cartoon." Perhaps that can be of use to look at, so that you can see what I might want my character to look like.

I recently stumbled upon another YouTuber, PatrickJMT, who has a cartoon version of himself, which is similar to what I'm imagining. Here's a link to an image of that (I do not own the copyrights to this image): http://patrickjmt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/patrick_toon.jpg

I'd like something similar, but hopefully it looks a bit more like me in the "Moof University Cartoon" image attached. Also, I'm about 6'1" and have a somewhat lean athletic build, if that helps when thinking about the character's frame.
