Simple tutorial, I made it for [link] ~ my first submitted tutorial.

OMITTED STEP: TO FIX THE LOW QUALITY RESULT
As for some of the issues brought up: I realize the distortion results in a low quality logotype, I did not include the final step because of size constraints...but to fix it is simple: work at a much larger scale, when you finish up simply scale it down and it will get rid of the jaggies and make everything sharp again.

edit:

Wow I woke up this morning with my inbox filled, I clicked the piece and realized it got DD'ed - my very first ever!!!

Also, I made this for some friends @ silkroadforums.com, I didn't realize it would get so much attention, and i'm sorry for the jokes near the end.

Daily Deviation

Given 2008-03-11
=bluem00n thinks that Logotype - SRForums by ~Dom- is "a very clean, simple, and helpful even for those who know nothing of logo types. It's very coherent and places everything chronologically and even highlights the important parts for you! To me, this is really the ultimate tutorial, something that teaches you something you didn't know before. It does the job wonderfully." ( Suggested by `bluem00n and Featured by `bleedsopretty )

20 minutes after starting your tutorial, I made it through step 1 ...

Why 20 minutes? Because I read the top disclaimer (not going over basics) and was fine with that. Than I saw "orums" and automatically assumed it was some option in font size. <head desk>

10+ years of experience and I went, "Holycrap, he shrank the orums? What are the orums? I have never heard of orums? Is this some new photoshop measurement system...what the *Beep*"

20 minutes laters "Ohhh ... orums in Forums ... I just failed at life."

Thought you may get a kick out of that.

Rule #1 of logo design: Make it Vector!

The logo is nothing special ... no thought behind it, just something that been done before many, many many ... many many times.

DA isn't what it used to be :(

Yes. The only "acceptable" logos ARE vector. Lol, imagine a billboard with a raster logo. I'd laugh my @$$ off. Either way, vectoring, in terms of logos and design is SO much better.
I admit it, I'm a noob, but potential wise,
Illustrator=design
photoshop=art
flash=flash (duh)

For the second step of your tutorial, you could also cut part of the text and freely play around with it on a new layer. Free transform works best for the simpler tasks, and the cell colouring should be done prior to or after with the pen tool fill or paint bucket. I dunno.
Nerdy amateur suggestions galore.
