Designing a logo

Roopavathy,

Unless you are sure the logo will never ever be used for anything but web or the like where you can get away with only raster format, I believe you should create it as vector artwork, and in that context Photoshop is much more limited than Illustrator (or similar applications).

Depending on the possible uses, it may very well be recommendable to create it in different versions, such as colour/monochrome.

You are welcome, Roopavathy.

Keep in mind that computers and software are only "tools" used to create comps and production files.  The actual design comes from you.  Sadly, you cannot tell your computer to "design me a logo" and it will comply.  When designing, I typically will start out with rough sketches and then polish a few of them to show the client for feedback.  Once I received approval on one of the pencils, I will then create the artwork using Illustrator.  The objective is to keep everything simple and unique.  For advanced corporate identity, 1, 2, or 3 spot colors will be selected for the logo.  Once that has been approved, you can then move on to other things like stationery, signage, vehicle graphics, etc.  I have never used Photoshop to design a logo.  As previosly mentioned, Photoshop is too limiting.  If you need a .gif for your web site, use Illustrator's "Save-for-Web" feature ( once your logo has been created and you've applied web safe color to it ).
