If you are good at drawing, you can use Corel Draw or Illusion to do it.
I am not good at drawing so i use Photoshop to edit picture and create logos

You should only use Adobe Illustrator or Coral Draw to create logos. Logos need to be resizable. You wouldn't want to redraw it from scratch when your printer says I can't print it out good at this size. Remember to keep them simple symbols, 2-3 colours and hand it to your printer in EPS format. Don't use clip art you can't copyright clip art or trademark it.

QFT

At the risk of annoying half the posters in this thread, if you create logos with Photoshop, you're a muppet. And you're screwing over your customers.

If you want quick and easy, the Alpha to Logo filter on gimp is great.
If you want REALLY quick and easy just go to http://cooltext.com/, set parameters, type in your logo and push the button.
Does buttons, too.

ANY bitmap logo is a bad idea. It's not going to scale, especially when it comes to print. Print images are generally 4 times as detailed as web images. You create a logo for a website and don't supply it in vector format, the client is going to be screwed when it comes to using it on print ads and stuff.

There's no reason to do logos in non-vector format, anyway. The only reason would be if you don't have a vector program or can't use it. Fair enough if you're just doing a logo for yourself, but if you're a designer who's actually charging for bitmapped logos, then basically you're a cowboy.

grrr!
