Designing a logo is not as easy as it seems. Although the end result appears simple, there are a lot of things to do during the logo creation process. The best logo designers now rely on highly flexible design tools and software to produce the best results.

The first key to good logo design is to use VECTOR instead of RASTER (BITMAP). This is one of the reasons why vector-based design software (Instead of RASTER editor, such as PHOTOSHOP) are much more popular among logo designers. Vector gives you the ability to maintain logo quality when it is being resized, along with the flexibility of adapting the logo onto multiple media and platforms without an issue.

Adobe Illustrator is still one of the most popular software on the market, especially since it offers a stunningly wide range of tools that logo designers can benefit from. Adobe Illustrator, or AI, is vector-based and is compatible with multiple formats including TIFF and EPS along with its native AI file format, you can also get other bitmap formats (such as JPG or PNG) in Adobe Illustrator.

A close contender of Adobe Illustrator is Corel Draw. Although the kit is not as extensive as AI, Corel Draw still offers more than enough tools that can be used to design professional and striking logos without a problem.

Logo designers rely on their skills and ideas to create striking logos that suits your brand perfectly, but these tools bridge the gap between the designer's imagination and a finished logo.
