What are the best programs for creating logos, I have used adobe photoshop before but I want to know if there is something better out there that would do a better job and give more features and options.
What do you use?

using a vector based programme is probably better so that when you scale it up or down you wont lose any quality
freehand
illustrator
flash
the list goes on....
i use illustrator myself for logo's sometimes
gives you the chance to edit your fonts by breaking them apart
using filters and such..
My finals are done in Illustrator. Definatly a vector based app. Recently I've been playing around in Flash the logo design process.

I use Macromedia products for web and graphic design as well as animation. If you can't get a copy of Illustrator (which is very good) I'd recommend getting another vector based program, Macromedia Fireworks.
I like Macromedia
You mean 'Macromedia Freehand' don't you?Quote:

You should always use vectors for creating logos.
Yes, there is a Macromedia Image Design Program called Fireworks.
I haven't tried Freehand so I dont know if it's better or not.
I'll keep you posted
Yes but I thought Fireworks in bitmap-based while Freehand is vector-based.
But since I'm not completely sure i'd apreciate some insight on it.
fireworks is not vector. freehand is.
the same as photoshop, you can have some pseudo-vector effects ( vector masks and those things) but you cannot save as eps, nor pdf.
What's wrong with Flash, I use it all the time.
Flash is good for vector no doubt. But have you ever used the pen-tool in Illustrator in combination with CTRL - ALT - SHIFT keys?Quote:

Well, that's enough for me to do all vectorstuff in this application.
Actually I prefer Corel Draw to Illustrator, but I use both of them, but tend to do my initial designs in Flash...it's just easier for me.

;) Great. Thanks for enlightening me. I'll download it now.
I use illustrator.
I think that is the best tool.
You definitely want to use a vector based program.
Ok thanks for all the info. I amtrying to do a nice logo and have to start soon I will check out Freehand, and adobe stuff also.
Thanks
