I'm working on a personal project at the moment and I'm not planning on using a logo (because logos cost money and personal project budgets don't have money). If page load speeds and other performance concerns aren't an issue I use a font from Google Fonts and a unique name for the "brand" and that combination is the logo. Kind of like what Microsoft did with the bold italic Helvetica: https://www.thebrandingjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/microsoft_logo_evolution.jpeg?x33302
For a simple logo for cheap I cannot recommend https://Looka.com (formerly LogoJoy) enough!
You can create a logo for free, then it's about $60 if you want all the High Quality Exports and Assets.
A really long time ago (like 10 years ago) I used to earn pocket money by creating logos on 99designs.com, it was the leading platform at that time for graphic assets, maybe it's still relevant today.
If you have a high budget you can check instagram/behance for some pro logo designers. If not so maybe you can find some already made ones that you can purchase on the cheap side.
Asking around people you know is a good start. I had my logo for thedjinn.io designed this way by my former high school classmate. You tell me whether you find the result appealing!
I'm using 99designs.com for the first time and like the process so far. The logo will cost you $299 and so far I've received close to 85 logo submissions. A few designers have even made modifications based on my feedback.
I'm terrible at creating graphics/drawing and I didn't want to spend money on the logo so my mum created my own lol. She's not a designer but she is quite art and crafty

Great idea!

Here's a few that I've made.
You can also try to make it in Figma.com is free
I use two things for your logo, for free :
You can try on Dribbble too, I remember when I was searching someone to make logo, couple designers (which portfolio I liked) wanted about $300
Shopify has a free logo designer: https://hatchful.shopify.com/
A really long time ago (like 10 years ago) I used to earn pocket money by creating logos on 99designs.com, it was the leading platform at that time for graphic assets, maybe it's still relevant today.
A project I worked on used 99designs (about 10 years ago!) for a logo, and it worked out well.

The Budget is probably less then $200. I don't think a logo design needs to be super pro for a side project, at least at the start.
If you want something techy and minimalist maybe i can help you with something.
If you need any branding specs DM me and we can work something out.

99designs, for sure. The problem is the pricing. Really expensive.

I used fiverr.com and got a couple logos for flowist.io (including the one used) for $12
I googled open source logos and found https://logodust.com. Looks awesome!

What do people usually pay when getting a logo for a side project?
I tried this guy on fiverr recently (Dushanwijez). Good price and fast delivery.

Thanks for the recommendation. Looks like he has a lot of reviews and decent prices. Might hit him up.

I've been searching Logogrounds too, which have around the same prices. I'll try Upwork and see what I can get. Thank you!
