: Vector design software recommendation for logo design What programs under 0 are good for vector design? I can't use subscriptions and illustrator is just way too expensive. I have been

@Vandalay110

It depends on your style. I've been in the market for a good vector software for a while. Personally I find that neither Affinity Designer nor Inkscape do not work well for me. Inkscape is just net negative in productivity for me and Affinity Designer is too one-sided and missing things I need for precision work.

I never really liked CorelDraw for some reason, but it's got better as of late, and I am thinking of doing a full reevaluation on CorelDraw. For a long time I've been looking at Xara Designer, which is one feature short of me switching over. Both of these are out of your range tough.

Sketch is actually OK, for a subset of my work. But the Mac-only feature set is not my cup of tea.

The free option is Inkscape.

Affinity Designer is an interesting option. Affinity Photo has already a good reputation.

Another option is CorelDRAW. The last version is around USD0.

There is a legacy option, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5, which is quite good, but I am not sure if that version has some kind of expiration date when installed, and I am not sure if it can be installed in English.

And regarding if a tablet is good for logo design. I guess it depends on the tablet, but I would say you need a mouse for logo design.

The CorelDraw Home & Student Suite is but it only runs on Windows. I think that your best bet is Affinity Designer though.
Drawing tablets are good for freehand drawing, if you're going for a handdrawn look in your logo then yes, but I'd stick to a mouse, personally.

For your computer, you can use Inkscape for free. For your touch screen device (iPhone, iPad, etc.), you can use Assembly (which is mostly free, but offers cheap in-app purchases).
