This girl from work found out I am going to school for Graphic Comm. asked me to design a logo for her relay mom's team, in this relay for life to promote cancer awareness, didn't charge her anything. what do you think of it? (original sketch scanned and traced in photoshop, her mom wanted a group of five people standing together, with a "70's gang theme" everyone wearing leather jackets or mini skirts, 3 guys, 2 women, cartoonish style, and i don't draw cartoons often)

I have Adobe illustrator CS6, I have only used it a few times for a type communications class I took last semester. The team captain (her mom) wanted five cartoon people, and not a more modern logo.
I do not see a connection either between the five people and cancer awareness other then the one bald guy (who was requested by the team captain.)
Thank you for the text suggestion, am going to read. Also I know... it looks like shit... but after spending hours at school trying to use the waacom touch pads, I ended up tracing my original image with a mouse in photoshop.

OP, your main problem is that you are trying to build the whole thing around a kickass illustration that you can't draw in the first place.
If you want to pursue this route:
>Draw it on paper with a pencil
>Start with basic shapes (pickindofrelated) and make it so all characters frame everything nicely in a nice composition
>Google images of people in those kind of poses and draw over those basic shapes/stick figures
>erase and redraw as much as needed with no fear of messing up
>At this point you should have a bloody mess of lines everywhere, for the head, you have 6 different circles and so on...
>Grab a black thin sharpie (or something to that effect) and trace over the good lines
>Erase all pencil lines
>Scan it
>paint it on Ps or run it through VectorMagic and color it in Ai
Still not a logo
