Keep it simple. Some of the best logos look like they took little to no effort to make. (I heart NY) Thats's the artistry of design. Think in terms of high contrast of positive and negative space, it will help with legibility in different sizes and placement. Personally, I start the process in black and white and add color after the most of the forms are determined. Just stick with the elements and principles of design and you will be on the right track.
