Logo Designer

If your business or own personal projects have reached a certain level of popularity, you definitely need a logo. Depending on the location this logo shows up, it can even be animated, and it doesn’t take a lot of effort to create one. To get convinced, you might want to try Logo Designer.

Once installed and launched, a window shows up with several locations you can visit. The application comes with three components, so that you can create standard logos, animated logos, as well as business cards. Selecting a component also leaves the main window up, in case you want to have all of them in a similar manner and constantly on screen for preview.

Starting with the logo creator, you get to choose from an abundance of template designs, just so you get an idea what can be accomplished. When you made up your mind and picked a template, it’s then opened in a canvas, with an additional tools panel showing up.

You’re free to interact with elements on the canvas. Selecting an object lets you manage its properties, change text, and import pictures. Common properties let you take control of general attributes, like size and shape, color can be applied in gradients, while shadow and blur let you create different special effects.

The business card creator functions in a similar manner, but without all the separated components to take up more desktop space. Various presets and objects can be used, with the possibility to edit them so they blend in the design. Needless to say that you also get to add technical details, such as contacts, address, and phone.

Your logo can also be animated, area which can be accessed either from the main menu or the standard logo creator. Multiple templates let you pick moving objects to place on the canvas, but you can use normal pictures or even draw your own designs. However, it can be a bit difficult to make objects move, unless you decide to import an existing animation.

Every area brings up its own window, and doesn’t discard the other, meaning you can work on more project types at the same time. When done, export options can be used to generate different pictures of custom quality, animated GIFs, or even SWF files.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Logo Designer is a neat utility with which you can create the image of your business or projects. It’s packed with an intuitive design, and tons of templates to get a kickstart. However, it can be a bit difficult to understand how all functions work, especially for animations.
