Logo for New + Funny WebApp called TextSomething

TextSomething OR TextSomething.com

TextSomething lets you text funny jokes and messages to your friends in an easy, pre-packaged way. It then lets you post these jokes to various outlets, like Facebook, Twitter, etc.

The key themes around this product are:
- texting
- sending a friend or a group of friends a joke or a funny message
- sharing a text across your social network(s)
- different categories of jokes that can be sent

TextSomething targets everyone! I imagine the service will be more popular with certain demographics, like male teenagers and college students.

- I am looking primarily for a logo design, but one that will inform how I should shift and mold the rest of the product design.

So far, I have been focused on building the service itself, and I'd like to use the logo as inspiration for the rest of my product design.

- Simple but cartoonish/bold is good; by simple, I mean safe and fewer colors rather than more, so that we can mix this logo with any page.

- I would like to be able to take a small part of the logo (perhaps the head of a character or an image within the logo) to create the page.ico

- I would like to do the same for a potential mobile icon, for an iPhone or android app, so please keep this in mind when thinking of the page.ico

- I like Foursquare's badge designs; if I were going to do this myself, I'd keep that in the back of my mind.

- This is a service for a person to send a particular joke or message to another person via text message, so I want to emphasize the friendly, fun and social/connecting nature of the product in this logo.

- Semi-comparable services (for ideas) might be:

someecards (funny cards to send to friends)
prank dial (pranks that you can pull on friends)
college humor (funny videos, etc)
