Alternate Ideas for logos

Today I found out a simple way of creating your own logo. It's a mix of using dafont.com; picnik.com; and paint. I was told that I could pick a good font for my name, paste it off of dafont and put it on paint. then get a picture that will go with it, and take it to picnik.com and edit it to go with your logo. After you get both of those the way your want it, paste it on paint together and play around with how you want them to work together.
