TO be honest - you still have a lot of work/watch/experiment to do in order to start makeing usable logotypes. At first try working simple and only in 2/3 colors, even B/W (the best

Also check the logotypes here - you'll see how people make logos, combine the elements, the graphic element and typography etc. - http://logopond.com/
Good luck

You really need to learn the main rules for making logo's or any designs.

Hey mate.
TO be honest - you still have a lot of work/watch/experiment to do in order to start makeing usable logotypes. At first try working simple and only in 2/3 colors, even B/W (the best). Get some book or some tuts from net. I can help you with one link, where you can find and read a lot of stuff - http://www.elogodesi...o-design-guide/.

look around here for some inspirartion;).......If you enjoy design, and you obviously do, thats a start, read books, visit logo sites, educate yourself, and you'll get better, and better:) Designing for a year only, isn't long.....I've been designing for 12years, and I can tell you, my work is a million times better, than when I just started......study up on design basics, experiment, grow:)

I used to be horrible-- and I mean horrible-- at logo design. This time last year was my low point, if you will, and I designed nothing but absolutely ghastly graphics. Yes, it was that bad. I competed on two other major crowdsourcing contest-based websites in an attempt to improve my skill. I wasn't expecting to win any of the contests but the feeling of being part of a competition really gave me motivation to work harder at each logo I created. After a while I found myself creating better logos and eventually I started winning contests more often than not.
I've worked with Photoshop off and on for years but logo design was new to me a year ago. By simply competing with other experienced designers my skill has greatly improved, so I'd highly recommend getting started this way if you are looking for a quick hike in your design skills. You'll be surprised, I'm sure..
Good luck!!
P.S. -- I'm not sure if I can state the other site names here, but if you are interested feel free to PM me.

While your link redirects to "1800adult", I can offer some advice of my own from past experiences.

I was updating my portfolio thats why you got redirected if you check it now it is much better I found a nice script to use. I have been in a contest everyday for the last 6 months and I have won a few. thats what started me in logo's I was doing page design of course alot of that was for "1 800 adult" I know of a few contest sites myself but like you say I don't think I can mention there names.
