    Creating an outstanding logo is all about understanding typography. We are supposed to tell you what font to use?

    For logo creations you must have large collection of fonts. Some fonts are not for writing purposes they are only made for logo designs. I use dafont for searching fonts

    I too suggest dafont. We must have sufficient collection of fonts to use according to theme of logos. Using system default fonts with photoshop not sufficient.

    Search Google for a certain name of font such as a game, movie, language/country etc. and you will get some interesting fonts.
    For Example:
    When I search "fast and the furious font" in Google
    The first result says
    The fast and the furious font? ... Font is called: Incised 901 Nord italic Get it here: ...

    AbstractFonts is pretty good - http://www.abstractfonts.com

    I'd agree with few other people here though for choosing DaFont as main source...
