New Jamiroquai Font to be started!
Hello mother funkers!  I think I am going to start a new Jamiroquai font! I am kinda disappointed with the only one in exsistence (only buffalolman and small caps, low resolution) so I have decided to make my own and share it to you folks!  I need your help though! (Don't think you'll get off that easy! ) If you guys can, make some letters for me. For instance capitals, letters that don't appear on/in albums, numbers, punctuation marks, etc. I will take any format, as long as it is digital! lol. So e-mail with ideas or suggestions, and post here for updates.
Thanks guys! It is by the fans for the fans!!

Hi Mike!
I think it won't be that easy to create a quality, legible font. I took several semesters of type lessons while I studied graphic arts and I can tell you, when you wanna do this job good, you need 3 or 4 months to create a usable font. Every single letter has to match with the other characters.
Some students made of this kind of job their diploma thesis - creating a new font !!! 
Please don't missunderstand me... I don't wanna discourage you, but I am a little perfectionist (... can you say this in english?  ) ... and I have had the dream to create my own Jamiroquai-font, too. But I know, if I started this, it would took too long because I would try to make it perfect. 
I would do all characters by myself, because they should fit together.
But nevertheless, your idea of a font-mixture with letters of many different fans is very nice! I guess you don't wanna win any design prizes with it, do you?
Just do it! I am sure, it will be great!!!

Didgin: I think you mean the exclamation mark: ! . That is a very very good idea! I never would have thought of that! Thanks!!
CosmicMouse: I do realize that make a resonable font will take time, but like I am a perfectionist! I will sit here for hours until my eyes start to water because of the computer or until I have somthing! I am willing to do this but I wanted to see if any body else wanted to help. Thank you for the encourgment! I will need it!

Do you know these clown-fonts ? every letter is a bended clown. Instead of a clown you could do a JayKay-font lol
