Most of the good articles you will come across online will only explain the process of the designing a good logo, as opposed to the technique of making one. In otherwise, designing a logo isn't like designing a blend in photoshop, there is no step by step guide of exactly what is you need to do make a logo - you really have to use you creativity, BUT there a process you follow to guide you with making a good logo.

To be honest, it takes a while to thoroughly explain what it takes to make a successful logo, but a part of the learning is doing what you are now, creating logos and asking advice. Also, if you're serious about logo designing, invest in a book about the process of logo design making, particularly if you aren't going to school for design.

To give you an overview of basic of logo designing, check this out:

Also, a great way to learn about logo design, is seeking inspiration and noting what is successful about certain logos. For inspiration, check out:

My biggest advice is not to rush to the computer first when making a logo. Take some time to actually think about what you want the logo to communicate and sketch out your ideas. IN fact, clients I've worked with love ( and most will require) seeing sketches of many different ideas for their logo.

The other more in-depth things that involve making a logo are researching your client and his competition, understanding the target audience, etc. All that would be way too much to explain now, but I do suggest (again) that if you interested in doing logo design seriously then investment in books is the best way. I did even while I was in school and they were a BIG help in improving myself skills in logo making.

Hope this was all somewhat help, best of luck!
