Default Obtaining a logo?
Where does a starving Photog get a logo for his company without costing a am\rm and a leg? I want a simple logo to put on a website and business cards so I can start selling photos and am not very artistic. any help will be greatly apreciated.

What secrets??

I've been using photoshop since version...4 I think it was. I've done some graphic design courses in college, but it's not my main thing. I can put some things together though

Depends on the complexity and time required. Probably about $50.

Yup, it exists :P

I started out using it for web page graphics and got into custom made wallpapers, dabbled with texturing a bit when I was using Bryce 3D. I didn't start using it for photo editing until Photoshop 7.

I still have one of the old Bryce3D rendered wallpapers I made back in like 10th grade:

I started to try and make wallpapers from scratch in photoshop, kinda like stuff you can see at endeffect (Sample: http://www.endeffect.com/gallery/ima...d_1024x768.jpg) But I never did stick with it long enough to get really good at it. I started to spend more time with photography and enjoy that more.

So between all of that and the graphics design courses I took, I ended up decent at doing logos and such. Wouldn't call myself a professional graphics artist or anything but hey.
