The techniques of corporate logo design

There are several methods of developing a nice logo design for your company. Invariably, your company's image will some day need updating. It is important that you have the right skill level and the right applications to create an elegant design for your firm.

Design of the logo

• There are several variables to consider here:
• what color(s) do you want in the design?
• Do you want a traditional or modern design?
• How do you plan to use the design?
• Is it within your company's budget to use 4-color Process printing, or can you only afford to use a one-color Pantone color?

Applications used in design

• There are several programs that can be used for development of the logo. They are:
• Adobe Illustrator
• Corel Draw...versions 4 through 10
• Macromedia Freehand (versions 3-10)
• Adobe PhotoShop
• Denebe Canvas

Should a Wacom Tablet be used?

You should not try to freehand-draw the logo with a mouse. The precision is just not there. There are digital pads that you can use to draw elegant lines and geometric shapes with great precision and control over the logo design. The main company is Wacom, out of Portland, Oregon. This is the best digital tablet to use. The larger the better.
