Which do you think is better for logo design? Corel Draw or Adobe illustrator

I have a question, most especially for those who have some form of experience in graphic design,.................If someone wants to go into logo graphic design and make some perfections in it, which one of these two design tools do you think is good enough for it; COREL DRAW or ADOBE PHOTOSHOP?
i did some research and discover the two of them but just want to hear your opinion on the one you feel is better and why.

I have personally never used Corel Draw, however I have more experience with Photoshop, and will say that it is a very large program with many options to choose from. Not only do you have many options to choose from, but you have an abundance of plugins to add to the program as well.

I've been using Photoshop for a very long time. I even took a High School course for Photoshop, which taught me absolutely nothing. I don't think the teacher actually knew what he was doing, and probably just messed around in it in the past. However, if you can look at some guides, and or tutorials you'll find that it's not really hard to learn.

Before long, you'll be a great graphic design artist, and you don't really need any special talents, but a very creative brain. So I would like to say I think Adobe Photoshop would be a great program for logo creation.

Thank you very much for your response. i was even thinking in that direction of using adobe illustrator but stumbled upon some creative beautiful designs that were done by corel draw on YouTube. then i got confused unto which one to go for. but i will consider adobe illustrator seruously.

Photoshop is a raster based image editing tool (they draw based on pixels). But CorelDRAW and Illustrator are vector based image editing tools (they draw based on mathematical calculations). Coral can't really be used to draw or edit raster based images neither can Illustrator. Although Illustrator can handle raster based images better as far as quality of image. But despite Photoshop being a raster image editing tool, it does handle vector image editing quite well. And there are a lot more options in Illustrator that Corel doesn't have such as layer styles and filters that work better in Photoshop.

Raster based image editing tools like Photoshop draws based on pixels which means anything you draw needs to be the right size it was drawn in when printed otherwise it gets pixilated or skewed out of tangent. Where as vector based tools, which are for images that have many colours or gradients, icons etc draw in mathematical calculations so that images, objects, shapes, icons etc can be shrunk or stretched to any size and wont become pixilated and still retain their perfect shape regardless to if they're printed on an A4 sheet of paper or a large billboard.

So from that perspective, Illustrator and CorelDRAW are probably best for logo creation, for logos that may become resized due to changes in aspect ratio, users screen resolution and size etc. But Photoshop does have a lot more styles, filters and plugins for image editing.

To put it as simple as possible.

Adobe Photoshop & Corel PaintShop are Photo Editing Tools.
Adobe Illustrator & CorelDRAW are Graphic Designing Tools.

Surely i know very well that photoshop can be used for editing photos very well but it can also be used in graphic design to design any graphics be it flyer, posters, logos etc. thanks you very much for your contribution to this issue. though most persons are suggesting that adobe illustrator is the best of the two, i know that coreldraw cannot be neglected like that when it comes to creating high quality and awesome graphic designs.

I've never used Corel Draw before and I can't say if it works better than Photoshop, but personally for me photoshop is the best software for editing and creating amazing things. Nowadays there are many softwares that do the same or "pretend" to do the same thing, but features of Photoshop are simply amazing compared to them.


So, me too same as Everett I'd suggest Photoshop. The final decision depends on you, but try to focus on one of them as that will help you a lot to master it.

Exactly bro, that is why i popped this question in the first place so that i can focus on one and be a master in it. thank you so much for reply to this my issue, i am now having some form of direction.

Not a designer but I do have a lot of designers friends and colleagues, all of them are saying the same thing when it comes to making logos: Adobe illustrator all the way!

I think it depends on what you are familiar with and maybe some tools you can only find in Corel Draw and some only in Adobe illustrator. Whatever the case, both software are expensive!

chetaseo
They are expensive because they are very great in producing top quality graphic designs. hmmmmm,.it seems adobe illustrator is winning the game here. anyway i realy apreciate your effort. thanks.

Ok I am not a graphic designer and my "skills" are limited to Canva LOL but my sister is a graphic designer and she has told me that Corel Draw is old school and Photoshop is the way to go.

I can't explain why because I don't understand these things.

This depends on your skills. If you are good at Coral Draw, you will find it is easier to draw a logo on Coral Draw, likewise, if you have better skills with Adobe illustrator, you will find it is easier to draw a log with Illustrator. Personally, I have never used Illustrator, I don't know how to use it. However, I have used Coral Draw sometimes in my life.
I stopped using Coral Draw when I learned photoshop skills, these days when I have to design a logo or any other graphics, I use Photoshp.

Photoshop and Corel seem too hard for a beginner like me. Is there any service which could help me if I have limited knowledge in this?

elina92
you could check this logo creation software. Of course if you need it done professional you can either hire someone or learn how to do it by yourself. Personally I also find Photoshop difficult but it depends on your knowledge.

For me personally, better Illustrator, I generally prefer Adobe products.

Moreover, I recently learned a way that allows you to get Adobe Illustrator for Free . For me, this is just great news, I advise you to use it too. If you choose Illustrator, of course Which do you think is better for logo design? Corel Draw or Adobe illustrator
