App Description

With Logoist 4 you can create impressive images and vector graphics – from simple layouts to sophisticated designs. Logoist 4 offers everything you’ll need to make your creative ideas come to life or to spark new inspiration. Developed for both professional designers and graphic artists as well as beginners, Logoist 4 provides not only a plethora of templates – ensuring an easy start for users without any prior experience with vector applications – but also offers powerful tools for professional users not found in other software.

The app’s large variety of comprehensive shape, style, preset, clip art and effects galleries are easy to appreciate. With a clean interface and powerful tools, including pre-made design elements that can be combined as desired, Logoist 4 offers incredible ease of use – even including versatile path editors useable to create any shape you want.

Logoist 4 is equipped with functionalities not available even in high priced suites. The Vectorizer converts any graphic element into a resolution-independent vector format for further editing, while preserving paths and even gradients. Logoist utilizes Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, allowing users not only to remove JPEG artifacts, image noise, and other image errors, but to also transform even the smallest and most pixelated graphics into high quality images.

Need to view a graphic or logo draft in multiple variations? Then use Artboards to create multiple workspaces within one document. Not sure whether to go for the blue or the red version of a graphic? Logoist helps to compare them side by side. You can also align graphics for different purposes – create reduced versions for use in a letterhead, larger ones for posters, and detailed graphics for magazine covers.

Need to create a quick draft? Simply use one of the template wizards which place you just a few steps away from finished cards, business cards, collages, and logos, which can then be further refined and edited. The “1-2-3 Logo” feature is another convenient tool, as it allows you to create completely different logo ideas for further editing or direct export with a single click.
