Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand, CorelDraw, Deneba Canvas, they are all great tools.( some are "greater" than others )

But, sadly ... to use a childish analogy here ... it's not so much what hammer the carpenter use, as the carpenters acquired skills ... Designing good logos is not easy, and a couple of software tutorials is not likely to change that ...

However, if I pretend for a moment not to be quite so much of an elitist bastard ... there are some tutorials around, here for example ... Deneba Canvas how-tos
Corel Designer.com - tips and tricks

... and there are many more ... just follow the links at the respective software sites ...

this sounds stupid but sometimes I use ms offise photodraw 2000 *should have sayd this slaps him self too the head 3 times* freehand works very well use that for the complex logo's.

Flash can be good, since its vector based.

Go to their menu and click "Identity". They have some neat stuff to say about they way logos are developed, etc.

Try Adobe Logomaker 3
It's an application for making logos.
I don't know if they still make it but it can be found on some warez sites

i work more with logos and web illustrations so this falls in my hands =P

to make a logo that work in its proper enviroment you have to have some behind your forehead . I think illustrator do the job for me, i can work with it. But you mention Streamline. What i know that tool is only ment for making paths out of raster images (convert pixel images to vector images)


all tools are good, don't think you can call a tool bad because it's always good for someone. Take a font you think would be good for the logo, play with it, distor and curve so you really get what u need. add extras that can bring the logo more life, couse now its only a string of text. (but alot of logos are like that, text only)

Try to come up with an icon of somekind that can be used sep. from the text (ex. Nike,McDonalds,Adidas,Microsoft Windows,Mac)

Streamline is a program that traces bitmaps into vectors ... you can't actually 'create' in it ...

I'm new here so you can ignore me

I used Freehand for logos and some photoshop, while at school and now also.
