IT Guy looking for a direction to start

[timshows]

Hello, I am an IT Guy that is use to working with Hardware.  I would like to make my own logo and other digital assets, but I have no idea where to start.  Can someone point me in the right direction?  I have the Creative Cloud Suite, but I don't know how to use any of the products..

How will the logo and other digital assets be used?

Websites, landing pages, maybe some print material. Mostly web.

You might start with a subscription to www.lynda.com and watch some of the training there. The courses range from beginner to advanced. You can start with a 30-day trial.

You could also sign up for hands on training with an Adobe Certified Instructor at an Adobe Authorized Training Center.
