Hi Marcee,
Did you ever get your logo completed? We would love to see!
I would give you my advice, but it's been done. For any kind of logo work you need to create a vector file (AI, EPS, SVG).
My design skills leveled up once I harnessed the power of the
pen tool. I first became familiar with Photoshop and was intimidated by Illustrator at first since there are so many varying options. If you design logos and custom graphics, it is something every good designer must master. Just take it one day at a time
Scalability - no matter what size you make it for web, print, or whatever the file maintains it's integrity from the smallest to the largest size possible.
Editable - When you have a vector file (or a smart object) you can easily make changes in the future.
Clean Design - Since vectors are drawn using mathematical equations rather than pixels, you will get a clean edge, every time.
