just take pen tool and start creating shapes you want ;) nothing hard if you know how to work with it...for logos there is some site on the net with pretty lots of logos in good quality, not sure what's the link tho...anyway you can always redraw them with pen tool as well, I do it myself too

Everything I use the pen tool it makes weird shapes and it doesn't just trace what I want to make. Photoshop = Confusing.
