Sothink Logo Maker Professional
$59.99
Editors' Review
A one-stop solution for the creation of professional logos, Sothink Logo Maker Professional retains the practicality of previous versions while introducing new freeform design elements, better color management, and copious presets and ready-made design elements.
Pros
Stimulates creativity: Sothink Logo Maker Professional impressed us with its available presets and the huge, well-categorized collection of resources it offers. The well-laid-out interface panels provide access to all the features you need to design catchy logos.
Freeform tools: If you own a graphics tablet you can try your hand at creating new elements with a simulated pencil, brush, or pen, or starting from custom-dimensioned basic building blocks. It's great if you want to give your logo a personal touch.
Color management: The app now has a handy color management panel for accurate color picking and matching in RGB. If you enjoy designing colorful logos, this feature can be extremely useful.
Cons
No simultaneous logo design: Having windows for working simultaneously on two or more versions of the same logo could improve your workflow by allowing you to compare and transfer elements intuitively. Without support for multiple windows, opening and closing logo files on a regular basis can be annoying.
Bottom Line
Although it lacks multiwindow support, Sothink Logo Maker Professional has all the elements you need to create professional-grade logos. The cost of $59.99 has been roughly doubled from older, non-professional versions, but seems reasonable given the functionality and tools the app now offers. If you're a logo designer, you should give this app a go -- you won't be disappointed.
Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of Sothink Logo Maker Professional 4.4.
