Purchasing
any edition is very easy, all you need to do is log onto their website.
Then follow the on screen instructions and within a few minutes you will
be downloading your chosen edition. The file sizes are
around 22Mb. So those on a fast broadband link will have no problem.
Those on slower 56K modem links will need around an hour and a half to
complete the download.
The software is available in both Windows and
Mac format.
|
Once downloaded, installation is just a few
mouse clicks and later editions will auto install into the correct folder.
I had no problems installing this
program on my Windows XP Pro system, each edition installed in under two minutes.
The software places a useful link on to your
desktop. |
The
working interface of the program is 100% intuitive and after a short time I
found I was turning out logos. These can be saved in "The Logo Creators"
own format which lets you work on them later. For print and web use, Jpeg,
Gif, Tiff, PDF BMP and PNG are supported. Pre made sizes help here to
speed up the process of saving your work.
You will also find The Logo Creator has
around 139 fonts to play with. Some of these fonts are not supplied with
Windows as standard and it would have added value to the program if these
could have been added to the windows fonts folder. But unfortunately my windows XP Pro
system refused to import them for its own use.

You
can re-size, rotate and curve text, use solid or gradient colour effects
to your text!
You can add outline, shadow and blur
effects as well. The number of text lines per logo is only limited by the
space you have to write on.
You can import
your own images and artwork plus clip art. These can then be edited just
as if they had come with The Logo Creator.
You can mix and match any of the logos and
image elements from any logo edition. |
The
need for a great looking logo for your business or website or just your
letterheads cannot be over stressed. A good looking and informative logo
will do wonders for your image and help you succeed.
This software does just that, in an easy and intuitive way. Not only will
you be able to produce first class logos for yourself, but you can make
logos for others and make some money at the same time.
You are not limited to creating just logos,
you can use this software to make anything that needs text and images in
an image format.
|

In
short this program gets the job done. It will save you time and money and
could allow you to earn an income as well. Those with zero or limited
image skills will just re-work the supplied logos, others with a flair for
graphics will see this as a must have tool, that will allow them to create
great looking logos.
