Designing word-based logos - what software program to use?

mediaeval

Hi,

I’m looking for a software program that will help me design logos similar to the one for the new movie, The Losers. What I really want to do is be able to write words one inside the other, similar to the way the “the” is inside the O of the word “Losers”. I'm pretty sure MS Word can't do something like that. The logo is here, on the movie’s website:

MS Word wouldn't do it because its main purpose is a word processing programme. There are 2 programmes which I would/could use for such a logo - Adobe Illustrator/Adobe Photoshop.

Ideally Illustrator would be the software of choice as it creates vector images. Vector images do not reduce in quality depening on how you use them (size-wise) so its the ideal format for logos as size will be varied depending on what medium your logo is displayed on. I may also have to use Photoshop as Illustrator is a bit limited in graphical effects compared to Photoshop. So maybe the logo could be imported in to Photoshop to add the finishing touches.

There are free versions of Illustrator and Photoshop available, these being Inkscape and GIMP.

+1 on Illustrator.

p

Inkscape is free and opensource and could do that easily.

I would also suggest Illustrator.
