re: Business Logo

In my mind, a program like GIMP is more suited towards photograph manipulation over logo creation. Adobe Illustrator or the free alternative - Inkscape - are more ideal for the creation of logos. But, as it was stated earlier it makes more sense to get it created professionally. Whether it's a friend that's a graphic artist or one of the MANY websites out there that so it for a nominal fee, that would probably be the best route.
