    If you don't mind spending a little bit of money try having a look on ebay for old versions of -

    Photoshop
    Fireworks
    Coraldraw

    I managed to get an old version of dreamweaver, flash and fireworks (when it was macromedia and not adobe) - does the job and as with all programs like these the extra features normally aren't all that necessary. I know a full time Trance DJ & producer that still uses Cubase 3.0 (2004) All the effects in the newer programs can normally be achieved in the older ones but may require a bit of extra work.

    To be honest though if you're not willing to invest some hours into learning how to use a program it's not worth the hassle - just get somebody else to do it.

    GIMP is a lot more powerful than it's price tag (ie free!) would have you believe! But it's not great for novices - it takes some getting used to to get the best out of it (I haven't gotten that far yet but I'm on the right road!!).

    pixlr.com is a free online photo editor very similar to Photoshop and pretty good. Google 'pixlr logo tutorials' and you should find plently of useful videos etc

    Most logo designs are done in vector software (i.e. adobe illustrator and Corel Draw). Unfortunately I don't know any free or low priced ones.

    For messing around it's worth giving Gimp a try. I've only briefly used it but it seemed ok.
    I love Gimp, but if you're looking for vector software for free, (which, as Shaun rightly says, is best for logos), get Inkscape.

    However, if you're having fun with Gimp, you might find Inkscape a challenge!
