Make Your Own Logo or Banner

Mandarin Design Web and Blog Design and Development has information and links for a variety of tools to make your own logo or banners.

I used this Banner Maker to make the one at the top of this post.

If you've ever done a Google search for a logo maker you will understand the value of this summary of tools. Generally a search will get you to sites that want to sell you software to make a logo, an expensive custom-designed logo or to a website loaded up with banner ads and tools of dubious value.
