What is a good logo?
Choosing a logo is a strategic decision: this is not something you can change overnight. So think carefully about this choice.
A logo is strongly linked to your general strategy and especially to your corporate identity and should appeal to your target groups as well as to your stakeholders.
There are some issues to be covered on intellectual property (so copyright): be careful in just using an image out of a cartoon, a movie etc.
You can check Google (reverse) image search by using Google search, then chose images and click on the camera next to the search box. You now can upload a logo and just get an idea of how often a picture similar to yours is used and by whom. On this platform we also have a page on Free images and Shrinking pictures.
