    Default Website logo creator/editor

    Hi all I am busy refreshing my basic web site and would like to create a new website logo that could also be used on my stationery .what I want to do is have a play around with various options untill I get something I can either use or then present to a profesional to polish up for me before publishing on line I have looked at Wordpress as one option but want to drag and drop from a saved logo or theme first. Any recommendations for a programe that will do this also I use PC and IPAD so a programe that could work on both would be good.
    Thanks Vince.

    Pass on your ideas to a professional and see what they come up with - you may be surprised at what they can come up with.

    That is my intention but I want to have a play around with ideas and designs myself first and find office etc too generic for this sort of thing but don't want to buy a full graphic design programme

    Give Leap Creative a call. They advertise on here and they don't charge much for logo design.

    I know there are happy customers of Leap Creative here on the forum, but I think I think in the interest of balance I should point out the thread linked to below to vinamintaylor (as there still appears to be an ongoing issue with one of our members and leapcreative).

    It'll save you time and money in the long run. Most companies are very reasonable when it comes to setting up a logo/brand for you as they know it'll lead into more work once you've got it cracked.

    I used Callum at http://www.kalaxhosting.co.uk/ to do this back in Nov and he was very quick and very reasonable to boot

    Thanks for all the advice guys but my op still stands I am looking for a programme that I can use myself to give me some ideas to play around with at my leisure before I ask a pro to polish and tweak it for me. When I have done that then I will go to a professional I like to learn new skills and this is one I have been wanting to try for a while if I give up after trying for my self then so be it but for now I am viewing this as a new project for me.

    For Raster based designs (similar to Photoshop) try Gimp. It's free.

    Most logo designs are done in vector software (i.e. adobe illustrator and Corel Draw). Unfortunately I don't know any free or low priced ones.

    For messing around it's worth giving Gimp a try. I've only briefly used it but it seemed ok.
