What operating system are you using? I'm going to guess it's XP. You probably want an image package, something like Adobe Photoshop, but Adobe Photo Elements would be good as well (think of it as "lite" version of Photoshop).

if u want a free version of photoshop then the open source version of photoshop is called GIMP and its 100% legal to download and totally free and can do most things photoshop can do

GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program

If you want a logo that can be used for other things - headed paper, advertising, signs etc... then make the logo as a vector, not a JPEG ( you can convert the vector into a JPEG once it is made to put on the website ).

If you don't want to install any applications you can always use this online application:
.: Sumo Paint 1.0 :.
