....and Im no carmechanic, but Im sure I can fix your car for you anyways.

Logos and company ID is THE most important and most difficult within design. Your logo is what your audience sees and notices first. Does the logo suck? Then you automatically suck. This logo is pretty much stuck in the 90's. You could'e gotten away with it then. Not now.

By all means, if you want to train yourself to be a designer, do it! But it takes loads of practise, not just to learn how photoshop, illustrator and all the other programs work. You have to know what design is, how to design, what makes a good design, how to make a good design, what colors, typografi (fonts) and symbols mean and how your audience will read it.

Just knowing how to use photoshop DONT make you a designer. And if you want your company to be successfull, yes then you need to hire a designer.
