Using calibration lines can help control the shape of the drawing.

And the 'limitations' here are the calibration curves. Sometimes, as in the case of logo design, some restrictions on all this freedom are quite helpful. Inkscape - and most of its tools - let you design anything you want, wherever you need it, and start from anywhere on a blank page. This tool allows you to draw straight lines and Bezier curves. Select the 12th tool from the application toolbar, depicted with a small pencil with a line, which looks like the shadow below. To do this, choose File> Document Properties and change the orientation, right from the Page Size list (s), to horizontal. Most logos are larger than the width, so it's better to set the page horizontally. Inkscape's default mode for new documents is vertical.
