Why would someone need Photoshop for creating a logo? I thought a pen and a piece of paper would do. The result can then be digitized with a scanner after which some picture editing might clean the result. Of course a professional might rather use a graphics tablet to draw directly in digital, but anyway the drawing would be done by hand. Unless your logo ideas consist of lines, angles and curves which can be described by means of mathematics...
After all, a logo should be a piece of art in itself, not something you'd do using generic templates.
