What do you use to create logos?

I use Figma to design all my graphics.

I take inspo from awwwards, Behance, dribble.

Since the only time I design is for hobby projects I tend to try more artistic directions like searching "top design trends for 20xx" and incorporating something different everytime.

Myself, I tend to design logos primarily in inkscape, though some situations lead me to use GIMP, though that's more for variants, such as ones with effects, or pixel-art versions, should they be needed...

As for the actual design approach, i tend to stick with a plain, clean, 'base' look at first, get that looking right, and then contemplate finer details like color, texture, and other such things... because none of those will look right, if the base vector doesn't look right by itself...

My recent logos are made with SVG. I write SVG code directly.

This is the logo of esp32cam, an Arduino library to use a camera on the ESP32 microcontroller. It depicts a camera, and the dots on the edges represent pin headers of the microcontroller.

The power of friendship.

No, seriously, I'm lucky to have a few very helpful designer friends and they always help me with that kind of stuff. 😄

I use Affinity Designer, which is a $50 alternative to the very expensive Illustrator that has all of the major features that a designer needs, plus wide file format compatibility for both imports and exports. ✨

I use Inkscape for designing logo. I have previously used Gravit designer and Figma. But these two tools use a lot of memory. Gravit Designer can use 500mb RAM when opening blank document (What!). Inkscape use a few memory usage around 100mb. When designing UI, i use Lunacy from Icons8

I use Adobe PS and or AI depends on my mood. Both can do logo designs. I also can export the logo in CSS with a help of a plugin. If need to modifying the existing low-quality logo, I use Adobe AI to create new tracing and recreate a new vector. If the logo was drawn on paper, I use my Wacom graphic tablet tracing with Adobe AI.

+1 Sketch. Used it to make a quick logo for my student org back in college, wasn't hard at all to pick up. Logo in question (Computing for Compassion):

Just depends on what I need done and which OS I happen to be on at the time, but I have to admit that even though I love GIMP (especially it's different "Polar Coordinates" filter, much better than PS) I love Photoshop even more. I can use Illustrator and I will sometimes for svgs, but I tend to always feel more comfortable in PS. I do like Corel Draw, but, of course, I always end up just using PS in the end.

I have almost as much experience with graphic design as I do programming and have been creating graphics of various sorts (mostly forums sigs, wallpapers, and logos) for over 20 years now.

I have been interested in looking more InkScape, but I do less with graphics these days so I haven't really messed with it yet.

So, to summarize: mostly Photoshop.

I used Illustrator since I moved to linux I started using figma.

A designer 😂

Affinity products kick ass easily as good as photoshop and illustrator.

I use Figma app to create simple SVG illustrations
And recently I discovered Lunacy that helps me open Sketch files without using a MAC (I'm a Windows user after WSL 🤩)
All free to use 🤗

Imagination 🙂

When it comes to logo design, if it is only for personal sife project, I always use figma according to its handy features, otherwise GIMP for commercial purpose.
