Jane The Virgin logo.
Ive seen this font around, especially that G.
Any thoughts to what it is?

Custom letter _G_ in a fairly generic sans.
As for the _G_ a somewhat similar script letter is found in Grand Hotel http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/grand-hotel


Slope the _G_ 20 degrees right and widen it by q40% and it looks like

Some more _G_ styles Susa Bold

Agree with Don, custom lettering. 2 options for me:
- Don's approach: mash-up fonts, a basic sans and a script; for instance, the sans could be Buttacup and the script Elan (Don's suggestion), Lightnin, Fontella, Gillies Gothic, Kaufmann, Penmanshift (nice this one), Coquette, Futura Script, Maison, Varga (nice too), Airstream
- choose an appropriate sans (Buttacup) and customize letters.
I like and even if it's different (flare serif) Highway by Dan Cassaro.
Some ready-to-go options: Selaive, Merced, Brownstone Sans, Myra Caps, Kylie, Solomon, Gist (slab and inline... ouch... but same vein), Peacock
Maybe a dead-end but you could have a look to Nexa Rust and try to mix Nexa Sans with its Script... Not sure it works though...

Thanks for all the advice! You are all very generous!
Take a look at the attached logo. Its almost the same which then i thought it was
a font and not something custom.

Could combine top half of Elan with bottom half of Lightin

Today's trivia: the story plot is a woman accidentally artificially inseminated by her doctor during an examination. It is a loose adaptation of a Venezuelan telenovela. The title for the telenovela shows that the swash _G_ is derived from the graphic of an egg on top and a sperm below


Don

How does a doctor "accidentally" do the deed?

I suppose you have to watch the series to find out :)
The world of soap operas is replete with such near impossible improbabilities.

Another suggestion for something similar - Coquette by Mark Simonson is swashy with a monoline stroke and flat terminals.

The Church Hill Anglican logo (rejected by the client) is by lettering artist Simon Walker, based in Austin Texas:

Strong possibility that he (or at least someone with a very similar style) is responsible for the Jane the Virgin custom logo as well.
