What type of project do I use to create a logo

When I create a new project in Illustrator and I want to create a logo, what type of file and presets are best to use? I just want to start designing the logo, which will eventually be used for web and print.

The basis of a logo graphic should start out with print as the primary output target, so use the Print preset in Illustrator's New Document dialog. Keep it 100% vector, and save it in Illustrator's native AI format. After the design is final, other formats and delivery modes can be derived from that original basis.

Illy comes with presets called WEB and PRINT...
