About Logo Design Software

Introduction to Logo Software

The software that permits the users to create, edit, store and share graphical images like logos is known as logo design software. This software gives the users a complete control over the colors, shading & lighting, visual effects and filters so that they can design unique logos.

Types of Logo Software

Logo and graphics design software fall into 2 categories – vector and raster. They differ from each other in one major aspect, i.e. in changing the size of the logo. Vector graphics software allows the user to resize the logos when needed. On the other hand, raster graphics software does not allow the user to resize the logo as easily as with vector software.

You know that logos are used at different places and in different sizes. For example – On business card, the logo will appear in small size; and on highway billboard, it will be of very large size. If the user uses raster graphics software, he or she will have to make separate logo files to be used at both places. In vector graphics software, one logo image will fit both the uses.
