Logo Design Software

I have used Logoist and it is quite fine; it really isn't prefect, but I can't complain it works nicely.

Nope, only used that one, so I couldn't tell you anything about the others.

All those solutions seem to offer pre-made logos that offer little to no difference between anyone who purchases them. Do youself a favor, pick up Illustrator and learn how to use it.

I have both Art text and logoist, there are both good.

Glad that you like Logoist

I like Logoist, it's not a bad little app. But if you could update it to actually give me some artistic ability, it would be a lot better.

Hi! What functions are you missing to give you some more artistic abilities in logoist?

More patterns as well as a pattern generator will come to V1.1 scheduled for August 2012. Have a look here: http://www.avisnocturna.com/www/index.php/component/kunena/13-logoist-artwork/449-fun-with-generated-patterns-from-v11?Itemid=0

Layer Groups and more advanced combine options for layer have been scheduled for V1.5 due later this year.

Thanks.

I just saw Logoist elsewhere tonight and picked up a copy through App store. In my initial look and use, though not extensive, it looks like something that will be helpful for what I need.

When exporting a PNG with more than 72 DPI the image is enlarged but Preview.app still shows 72 DPI. Is this a bug?

I have no idea, my art skills are about as good as mentally challenged 3 year old. I shouldn't say that, it isn't true, I have come up with some logos over the years that came out OK.

I made this one a few years ago :
I thought it came out well; I started with Arkham Technology, or A.T. and thought of an @ (at sign). Then realized that if I took the A and used the T as the cross bar, it made the inside of the at sign . . . some photo magic and blam there it was.

I've been using Logoist to make one for this company :
InvertedBits

So far I'm not happy with the InvertedBits logo, but I'm getting closer. I would like the ability to use a vector program to create outlines of what I want and then import that into Logoist so that I can add effects to it. I just haven't found the right inspiration yet for it, what really makes me feel good about the logo.

OOOOHhhhhh maybe that would be a nice feature; logo planning. Often I have bout 5 to 10 different logos for the one I'm working on. I would like to display them all at the same time (maybe in thumb nail views) and be able to make note about what I like and don't like about each one. Maybe in a tree format, so that I can see, here are the base logos I started with, here are the features I pulled from each one, and how I got to the final design.

Another, very useful feature, would be a way to take a logo and "Save Steps". Basically save off a text file that tells you how to create the logo step by step. Too many times I've built something, came back to it weeks later, and forgot how I got the effect I was trying to achieve. If there was a way to recover those steps it would be killer.

Thanks for the app, it is very good.

Hi!

You can use any vector program with Logoist. Simply export the vector art as a PDF and drag it to the Logoist canvas.

A future version of Logoist will include a feature like stances where you can save the current variation of a logo and continue working on it. This way, you can save different layouts or coloring and quickly switch between them.

Here is a shot of Logoist 1.1 showing new rulers (finally!), backgrounds and the new path editing tools:
