Designing a logo

[oggs]

I'm looking to design a website for Dunstable-Hoons.co.uk which will be a hobby site...
First thing is designing a logo for it
Is there any good software that can help me do this. I've not got a clear idea of what yet.
Of course if anyone wants to try and design one

Cheers

You need to design your logo first on paper, then decide which software package you have is the best tool to produce it.

We use Adobe Freehand and Adobe Illustrator, both available for Mac & Windows. We find that producing artwork in these packages as 'Vector' artwork allows you to reproduce your logo for many forms of printing and web applications, rather than using Photoshop as this is images based software so the file size is fixed once you've completed the design. With vector graphics you can increase the size from a postage stamp to a football pitch (for example) size without loosing resolution.

hope this helps.

If we designed a logo for you we'd have to charge you for it, see our design section on our website. www.stellar-promotions.co.uk
We also designed the new www.eurohoon.com

I use Macromedia Fireworks for web graphics mainly for doing logo's and buttons and things and it is good. Happy to have a crack at a logo for you if you like, got any examples you like on other things that might give me an idea of what you are after. I am no graphic artist mind, just a meddler so it won't be a proper pro job.
