Recommend Product: NO

It's a trap. It just doesn't work very well. The application looks slick (graphics will do that. Even the box looks attractive. But it just doesn't work very well considering it's a 3.0 release. Worse yet, it's not a Cocoa app. It's written in Director and is slooooooowwww.

How about stability? The box it came in is more stable. And more useful. Someone went to a lot of trouble to create a pseudo-application for Macs that looks cool, but creating an app in Director is a shortcut from Cocoa or anything else. It's non-intuitive, buggy (crashes regularly on both my Macs), and not worth this kind of money. You're better off buying a couple of books with a few hundred colorful logos and then use Graphic Converter to "recreate" those logos instead. For the same money you'll have a couple of good books, and a very good graphics application.

I think there's a market for this kind of thing, though. Hey, I paid for an attractive box, right? You can do the same thing in Photoshop but you need about $700 and talent and time. The whole idea of an application like this is to help you with the talent part at a lower price. Unfortunately, you'll waste your money and still have no talent.

Logo Creator is $39.95 at CompUSA. I'll let you have my copy at half that price.
