Logo Design Programs
There are a variety of options available when choosing logo design program. All are nice in their own way and may provide you with the services that you require, but logo design program cannot replace the design of a professional graphic designer.
Professional graphic designers may use a variety of logo design program in conjunction with each other. There are a variety of logo design program packages available to the average consumer, but many will provide “cookie cutter” logo designs to all the people who purchase the program.
If you are an aspiring professional graphic designer yourself, then you should choose from only the most professional logo design programs. The logo design program packages will allow you to hone your skills and develop unique designs, not designs that several hundred other people are using as well.
The most popular illustration logo design programs include Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW and Macromedia Freehand. Plan to spend several hundred dollars on these programs, but you will be glad that you invested in them. Along with the logo design program, you should plan on purchasing books and tutorials. These will guide you through the program and help you to learn their features.
Many major advertising and marketing corporations choose these illustration logo design programs for their in-house creative departments. If you are interested in entering that field, it will be helpful for you to have a good understanding of the logo design program and how it works.
Adobe Illustrator will be one of the best investments that you make into your logo design program library. Illustrator has been widely accepted as an industry standard in logo design and illustration. Illustrator integrates with the other Adobe design products and is available for both Mac and Windows platforms. Illustrator will require an ample time of learning, but it is accepted by service bureaus and printers as a top professional logo design program.
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 10 is popular amongst both experienced and novice Windows logo designer. CorelDRAW bundles both vector and bitmap formats. This program has seen increasing use by professional logo designers and is now featured in Mac formats.
Macromedia Freehand is also another valuable logo design program as it combines PDF, HTML and flash logo design animation features. If you are looking for a program that is capable of designing the most unique designs, Freehand will provide that for you. The price of this program is comparable to Illustrator.
All Adobe and Macromedia programs are available for trials. This allows aspiring designers to use the programs prior to purchasing them. Classes and tutorials may be required for designers to have a full understanding of these logo design program products. Remember that although these logo design programs are available for purchase to anyone, it is difficult to reproduce the quality of work that a professional logo design business will provide you.

"Working with the team at Spellbrand has been fantastic! I spent time researching companies that would help me build brands for each asset that are all in different locations and more specifically build a brand that could help tell each of their unique stories. Spellbrand did just that. The process was easy. To provide them with my initial thoughts through a nicely-outlined input form they sent to me and they took that information and created a number of awesome designs. I was able to incorporate "the story" easily with a design we selected. I'm excited to get it into action and see what's in store for the next project. Also, each person I worked with has been super responsive, knowledgeable, and awesome to work with! Kudos to Mash, Mike, and Eva! I really enjoy working with you!"

"Working with the Spellbrand team has been incredibly easy. Mash has a team of experts who are extremely visionary and pioneering, pulling together ideas and initial thoughts into an actual brand giving you options that you feel best align with your thought process. I have no idea how they created my brand based on the vague brief I gave them, but they have worked wonders and magic. Their design, attention to detail, willingness to ensure the final product is exceptional all counts towards a company who has the client at the forefront of mind at every step of the way. Spellbrand is my Number 1 go to for all branding, website and design concepts moving forward. I look at them as an extension to our marketing arm. Just brilliant."
