The Creator

The Creator is an application that lets you quickly create logos for websites, advertisements, presentation slides, and others.

The user interface of the program is intuitive and consists of three small windows where you select elements, control actions and view results.

You can add your own text or generate a slogan or tagline that you can adjust to your liking, as well as insert template images (orbs, banners and stars, shapes, swooshes).

When it comes to text, you can change the format (attributes, size, character and line spacing, circle radius and rotation) and color (e.g. gradient type, number of cycles).

But you can also configure settings for the shadow (e.g. opacity, blur radius, turn off shadow mode), blur (opacity, radius, disable blur), outline (opacity, width, color, disable outline), as well as add more text effects (e.g. 3D, double outline, glow, metallic, neon, mirror).

Regarding other objects, you can change their attributes (opacity, scale, flip horizontally or vertically, image angle), color (opacity, normal, colorize, gradient), shadow and blur (both are similar to text shadow and blur).

You can set the background color, import an image from the hard drive, view logo thumbnails, export to file or save as template, use the "Undo" and "Redo" buttons, bring elements to front or send them to back, group, ungroup, lock or unlock elements, remove white backing, duplicate a logo element, and more.

The program uses a moderate-to-high amount of system resources, contains a comprehensive help file and didn't pop up any errors during our tests. Sometimes it takes a while for changes to be applied (especially when it comes to text) and the trial version is severely limited.

The Creator is a very simple tool for designing logos but it doesn't really offer professional solutions. Nevertheless, it it simple to use, even by novices and we recommend you try it.
