<p>Which graphic design software you recommend for a programmer? Gimp like, but more simple, paint-like but more complex. </p> <p>I need to design a logo for my software.</p> <p>I forget to mention, must run on linux.</p>

<p>I use <a href="http://www.getpaint.net/" rel="nofollow">Paint.Net</a> and have found it to work pretty well.</p>

<p>I'd recommend Fireworks - if you're designing a logo, you'll probably want to make it vector, which Fireworks is good at - but it's also simpler than photoshop, and easier to cut up images for websites, or even parts of an interface.</p>

<p>I don't use any of them, but <a href="http://www.gimp.org/" rel="nofollow">Gimp</a>, <a href="http://www.tuxpaint.org/" rel="nofollow">Tux Paint</a>, <a href="http://kolourpaint.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">KolourPaint</a>, or <a href="http://gpaint.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">GNU Paint (gpaint)</a>.</p>

<blockquote> <p>I need to design a logo for my software.</p> <p>I forget to mention, must run on linux.</p> </blockquote> <p>This just screams <a href="http://www.inkscape.org/" rel="nofollow">Inkscape</a>.</p> <p>Vector graphics is the number one way to create logos - trust me, bitmaps will bite your ass in the future when you try to scale them down (or even worse - up!).</p> <p>As a programmer you are familiar with binary operators, which is essential when you edit vector graphics (Union is OR, Difference is XOR etc).</p>

<p>If you are a developer and not a graphic designer then I strongly suggest hiring someone to do your design work for you. It doesn't necessarily have to be a high-cost professional design firm. There are university and college students in Graphic Design programs that are constantly looking for some extra work. Most students past their first year of schooling are more than talented enough to create a logo for you. </p> <p>Just has software development has it's challenges and skills, as does graphic design. If you aren't sure, imagine if there was a graphic designer out there who just designed a beautiful website and then asked, "What programming language should I use to create my website?". </p>
