Awesome attitude! Read this book if your stuck: Logo Design Love
Also check out using grids. I’m not great with typography. I usually play it safe and stick with either Adobe Fonts or Hoefler Type.

I have this one and it's fantastic. Check the reviews for it, too.
This one will probably be my next purchase on that same theme:

The second edition of Logo Design Love by David Airey came out relatively recently. It's great. The first edition was outstanding and I was surprised to see that the second is even better.
Also, Designing Brand Identity by Alina Wheeler is wonderful as well.
