That question is much broader than I think you realize. 
Logo's can be made using the Paint program that came with your computer, as well as Word (or other word processing programs) and Excel (or other spreadsheet programs)
However, I'll give you two ideas:
If you are wanting to manipulate some pictures or pre-existing graphics files... then you might look at Paint.net. Essentially, it is a photo editing program but you can do alot with it.
If you are looking to "draw" something clean... my preference is for CAD type programs. You might look at DraftSight.
Both of these are pretty powerful free programs. There are a myriad of others.

It is best to design logos in vector graphic design software so that they can be re sized as big or as small as you want without losing quality.

Adobe Photoshop is my best option to practice graphic design
(I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, I've made lots of logos with it). I think GIMP can help too, since it's becoming popular.

I actually just use flash. You can easily import vectors to edit, or make your own. Flash is also really easy to use, and even though it is for animation, making detailed still images isn't too hard.

The best free software i would recommend is Paint.net . But if you want to spend the money, or signup for a free trial, go for Photoshop. You can watch a few beginners videos on YouTube and pick it up fairly quick
