A few of the programs used are Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Flash, Macromedia Freehand, Photoshop (although you have to make sure you don't rasterize the individual layers and their components), etc...
I would suggest doing some research on vector illustration programs to see all that is available out there, and start playing around with all of it. As far as how the logos are created, i'm sure that each of us have a completely different design process, which I think is what makes places like this such a unique option for contest holders and other designers to learn from.
As far as your second question, although i'm partial to DC, if you just do a search for "graphic design forums" you'll come up with several other resources to learn from as well. Best of luck!

I plan to switch to Adobe Illustrator CS as soon as I can afford it, though. Illustrator and Corel Draw are the industry standards, IMO. Also, I appreciate the integration between Illustrator and Photoshop since I use Photoshop exclusively for all my raster work.
Jenn, I'm glad to see you mention Flash in your list above. I thought I might be the only one using Flash for this kind of work - maybe there is hope for me

The best way is just to experiment. The Help file is sometimes helpful.

Before you buy i would recommend you to download a trial. In my opinion Adobe is very low priced for what you get, but it still is a lot of money just for a trial.

I use adobe photoshop for websites and adobe illustrator for logo's and icons. Logo's and icons should be vector imho, especially if used for print. The creative suite is pretty good priced now at http://www.adobe.com including these two packages and a lot more. If you're a student you could also buy a student licence.
