Which of this software can a designer use to make a loo like this one?

(look at the colored lines that leap between LONDON 2012)

Illustrator would likely be the best tool, but it could also be done with Photoshop and CorelDraw.

It's not a complicated shape, even free InkScape would be fine.

I have to agree that Illustrator being the Industry standard in Vector design would be the best option & most flexible. CorelDraw x3 would be my second choice out of your list because it can handle Both Vector & Raster/Paint functions (Primary interests in the free hand Pencil tool). Then my last choice would be Photoshop (It has a vector Pen tool, but hardly flexible enough to do anything Vector related professionally).

I made my choices based on the the fact that Logo's should be done in Vector first & foremost. That way they are completely flexible to be rendered in either Vector or raster depending on the usage need. Doing a Logo in Raster/Paint only leads to complications & extra headaches down the road when one realizes they need a vector format to met a majority of print demands.

My opinion may be a little Bias because I'm primarily a Vector designer. For the record, while I do Own Corel software (CorelDraw x3, Paint shop pro x2), Adobe software (Illustrator Cs3, Fireworks Cs3, DreamWeaver Cs3, Photoshop Cs3, Flash Cs3), Serif Software (DrawPlus x2), & a few other software brands, My Primary tool used daily is Serif DrawPlus x2 Vector Graphics software.

Each designer is a little different in the tools they choose to use, it all comes down to 2 things: 1.) Can the tool handle everything you need it to. 2.) your comfort level using the tool.

Just my 2 cents

I also think that illustrator should be the best tool.

However, inkscape is good too, although it is free.

Thanks a lot for the answers,

Varelse i`ve never used InkScape, it is easy to use?

scorpionagency great review... i will try with illustrator this days, as guppyman and LadynRed recommend.

i always use corel draw to do texts, and illustrator for the rest...

You should try to use every time and the both - Illustrator and Photoshop. I've never used before Corel Draw for my professional projects - maybe it's my mistake.

Illustrator and Photoshop are enough for me.

Yes, I usually design the concept in Illustrator and once approved; I then load up Photoshop and give it some graphical power however that London Olympics logo can easily be done in Illustrator alone.

If I want to design it ... I will go for Photoshop. But Corel is much better and flexible for this kind of artwork.

I would go with Illustrator. You can use Photoshop if you do not have Illustrator access. Illustrator just allows for you to have more "control" over the lines / waves running in and out of the letters.

Illustrators your best bet because its vector based drawing program.

Illustrator is better because It's industry leader for vector-graphics.

I prefer Illustrator is the best program.It is very help you create your own new brand Images.

im a corel guy, and that logo would be a snap in X4

I'd choose Illustrator.

I prefer illustrator is better because it has some nice features.
