Peter's got you going on the lay out.
As for a "simple" 2-letter logo...If you have Illustrator, I would build it there.
But it can be done in ID. In the screen shot below I converted type to outlines, released the compound path--which also mucks up the "holes" in the letter B and those need to be made back into a compound path--extended the center of the B to join the number 2 so they overlap, then selected them both and used Add shapes from the Pathfinder menu (Object | Pathfinder).
I put simple in quotes because simple is often harder than not.
Take care, Mike
