Logo design question
Not sure if this is the right category...but, I designed this logo on paper and I was wondering what the best way would be to create a digital copy. I do have Photoshop (very old version) on my computer, however I honestly don't know how to use it. I tried looking at Photoshop tutorials and it's very intimidating and I'm not sure where to start. I don't need to be an expert, just want to know how i can create my logo on the computer. Any advice is welcome.

After you've scanned it, if you want to create a digital version of your logo, look for a tutorial on one specific aspect instead of general overwhelming ones - Google search "how to trace images with pen tool photoshop." That's what you really need. Here's one that came up when I Google'd it that seems pretty good. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

Just to add something to the excellent answer already given:
If you don't have a scanner yourself, and would like a better result than a cell phone camera can provide, there are places you can go and use a scanner for little or no cost. Your local library may have one, and I have yet to see a college library that doesn't.
You may also go to a place like a FedEx Office (formerly Kinkos) shop. They offer scanning services, and for one page like that, the cost would be very minimal.

Another thought is that all-in-one printers have been the rage for some time. Most can act as a scanner, so if you don't have one, odds are you have a friend that does. :)

If you already have the logo on paper, one option is to digitise that. If you have access to a scanner, use that. Otherwise, use the CamScanner app on a smartphone.
Once you have a digitised copy, you'll probably have to clean it up. Start with this guide for how to address specific issues. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
To be able to find your more specific information, it would help to know a bit more about the features of your logo. Does it have lots of details? How many colours? Is it more lines or large areas of solid colour? These can be the starting points for you to look up specific guides to things you want to learn to do.
