I usually use Photoshop in making logos because I'm more familiar with this and I think it's the best image editing application...

Couldn't agree more with Bumfluff. photoshop will only product bitmaps which cannot be scaled up, whereas a vector can be scaled to any size. So if you intend to print your logo you really should be producing it in vector format.

Try downloading a logo from the web and printing it locally. Even on an inkjet printer you can see it's not of sufficient quality (72dpi, as apposed to a minimum of 300 dpi for printing)

Best post ever.

Seriously folks; if you're not a professional designer, stop gobbing off and making yourself look stupid.

Make a logo as simple as possible so you can easily transfer it to different mediums.

My designer uses Photoshop.

A good designer will start by developing ideas using sketches.
once the general idea is agreed they will move onto producing a small set of client visuals showing perhaps 2 or 3 variations.
The work will more than likely be done using Photoshop, freehand, illustrator or fireworks or possibly even by hand.
The final design will be modified until client is happy.

Out of interest, how much is Photoshop in China?

Photoshop is the way to go if you want to look good and unique

Photoshop is not the way to go. In any case, how does Photoshop make a logo 'good and unique'?
