I am thinking of starting to design logos for my games instead of paying for them, since it is expensive for a nice text logo. I want the artists out there to give me tips on what software to use (NOTE: If it isn’t a free software, please tell me in the comment. Also tell me if it a online software like photopea.))
Here is an example of what logos I’d like to create:

Photoshop and Illustrator are both paid apps that are really good for any logo design, but If you’re only going to make 1 logo, you might as well just get someone to do it for you bc it’s cheaper than buying PS and illustrator
Panzoid is free and it’s really easy to make striped backgrounds on there. You can also make 3D intros and things like that too. Pretty good software. It’s free and online.
For your information, the actual link is getpaint.net, notpaint.net It’s calledpaint.net but that isn’t the actual link that @XX_XXFRIED had given you. (I do highly recommend it though, it’s a very good program.)
Hi! I would definitely recommend Photoshop, Illustrator, or Clip Studio Paint (Although it’s a drawing program, it offers tons of tools to create unique UIs/Logos). All of these programs are programs you’d have to pay for, but investing in one of them would be totally worth it. I’m also pretty sure you can find deal packs on Adobe’s page so you don’t have to pay 40 - 60 USD a month!
For example, I have the Photography Plan which allows me to pay $10 USD a month to have multiple Adobe programs. Look into it!!
paint.net is an extremely simplistic and basic photo editing software with little functionality for actual productive work like logos. Can you actually support it is a good program for someone wanting to create nice logos? Perhaps, some examples made from it?
Most of the time, you’d probably even have to install plugins with it too. I would say paint.net is intended to be for simple editing rather than creative creation.
Try pixlr.com, it is online and free! I use it and it works really well! I recommend Pixlr E if you are familiar with Photoshop and other softwares, X for beginners.
