LogoMaker 4 Reviews

Not a lot to this, I got this years back for relatively inexpensive. Not worth $30, maybe $5. If you're looking for some base-level designs maybe to do something with on Fiverr or whatever, might be worth it. If someone came to me with designs like this on a professional level I would laugh them off. It's not a BAD program, but it's definitely not a good one that anyone will take you all too seriously with. I would say this works more as a good tutorial to the basics of MAKING logos, but to pursue more real products/services in the future if you want to make things more professional. TLDR:Good on a sale of 90% or more if you're a beginner. If you're looking for something more professional, look elsewhere.

I have used this software for over 300 hours at the point of making this review. I recommend Logomaker to people new to graphic design, people who like to worldbuild, and/or people who want to make logos for fun. This is by far not a perfect software. It has its faults, such as the convoluted organization of the free graphics and images. I am not a graphic designer. I bought this software with one thing in mind: creating fictional logos for my fictional world. That is my hobby. This software has done a magnificent job in helping me with this goal. I have created well over 100 logos, symbols, and even FLAGS for my world and other things. Due to the features Logomaker offers, I have even repurposed the software for photo editing, as I cannot afford Photoshop. I regularly use Logomaker and Gimp 2.0 with one another to create more complex images and visual projects.

Actually, not bad. It's not going to be your primary tool for logo design, but if you can catch it on sale and you are interested in graphic design or do it as a trade, you will find this very handy to have in your arsenal of software. I really like how easy it is to manipulate objects. It's like photoshop, but more watered down to just let you fast-track your logo, offering a lot of helpful tricks to get something set up. Sure it could use more features and tools, but what is here works suprisingly well. It claims to have more than 3300 templates, but in reality it's only 3292. Where are the others?? Just kidding. It's worth it just to have these templates to look through to give you an idea of what you want to do. Pick a template and you can start tweaking it or use it as a base to build off of. I haven't spent a long time in the program but I was shocked at how useful it seems to be, from the perspective of someone who exclusively uses Photoshop on a daily basis. It won't replace it, but it's a neat little prototyping tool.

For a basic logo creation piece of software it's not that bad for the price! Lots of clip art and easy text manipulation. The shape creation tool is very basic and fiddly though, I have found it much easier to create images in other programmes and then import them into the software to add to the logo. I bought it in the half off sale so really good for kids or professionals looking to knock up a few nice looking logos. If you're a graphic designer, wanting to do more than just some logos or expecting the depth of photoshop however you'd be better looking elsewhere!

I bought this because I figured having an offline, dedicated software platform would be more convenient than some of the online logo generators I've tried in the past. However, it's actually quite difficult to use. For example, I'd like to include a book in the logo I'm making. There are a few in the clipart objects, but how am I supposed to locate them? I can't search by text or tags, and the groupings don't really make sense-- e.g., one of the book icons shows up in the 'Human' group. I'm not sure where the others are grouped, but I found them in 'all objects.' Altogether I don't think this will be very useful for making a professional logo, but I can see it being useful for people who just need a quick and easy solution for adding clipart--maybe teachers putting together something for their classroom, or making flyers to advertise something. I can also see young kids having fun with it. It reminds me a bit of a program called Printshop that came loaded on my very first PC back in the early 90s. For making logos on the cheap, however, I'd recommend logogarden.com, which will also let you download a vector version for less than $10. As other commenters have already mentioned, vector is a necessity for professional quality, scalable logos.

Not bad, but if you're looking to do a professional style logo....then look somewhere else. this is a glorified clip art folder. if you take your time, i'm sure you can make something slick. only if there was a "MEH" option to pick

I really do recommend this software but only for those who are just stepping into the business. Its a good start if you dont know how to use Photoshop or Illustrator. This software can give beginners a jump start and may improve their way to combining shapes, way to think and etc. It has a library which has lots of various artworks, templates and shapes that you can at least create an idea on your mind and redesign it in Illustrator or P.Shop. The only thing that i didnt like about this software is, it has no option to export your work in ".eps" or in any kind of vector format. Yes, its obviosly you can not export as such because as you can guess its pixel based. You can only export in common formats like JPEG, BMP, PNG, TIFF, GIF, PDF and SWF. I hope STUDIO V5 would consider to improve this software in the future and bring a solution for users to work in a vector based space. For short, This software has lot to give and it is promising but needs a bit more improving. Yes it is a worthy software for this amount of price. But if you are lack of imagination and creativity, even a million dollar software cant save you. Regards.

I can't seem to do anything on this program and everything is going tits up as I can't potition anything right on the freehand mode aswell as there is no crop to crop images and you can't add anything from outside the program, I'm sorry but its a no from me, Also for me it crashes when I try to preview an animated piece. I wouldn't recommend wasting your money on this program. To be honest I'd like a refund

Useless as a point-by-point vector editor. If you delete a point it turns the surrounding points to corners and there's no way to turn them back. Dragging a point doesn't drag it's arm doohickeys with it, so it turns into a different shape. It doesn't shut down properly, so it looks like I've used it for a ton of hours, and steam can't be restarted when it updates unless you kill the logomaker.exe process. I can't imagine what situation this would actually be a good fit for, unless all you really wanted was a clipart cd.

This program is useful for grabbing some nice quality vector graphics for logo design. However the interface is a bit clunky, there aren't a lot of options such as formatting text to be centered aligned? How'd they miss that one? There's a lot of functionality issuses that need to be addressed in this program before I'd recommend purchasing it. However, if you're looking for a library of graphics that are relevant to graphic design, then this clipart library would be perfect. I'm sure if I shifted through this program a bit more, there's probably a lot of little gems that would make this more worth using, but for your basic 2D graphic design, this didn't do much for me. 4/10
