Many years of experience as a graphic designer has taught me that effective branding and logo creation involves not only technical expertise, but creativity and problem solving. There are a few other designers on TPF too.
Here are some useful links to get you started. Good luck.

Thanks for the info. Those links look very helpful. I have a friend designing a logo for me now and so far so good. Hopefully it will work out so I can move forward:) Thanks again.

Those links look very helpful.

If your friend is a graphic designer they should already be familiar with the process. : )
