More Useful Than I Thought It Would Be

While I still maintain that serious logo design work is best done in a dedicated graphics drawing program, there is a lot to like about the Logo Studio incorporated into PagePlus X3. You can create logos, other graphics, and decorative text elements without leaving PagePlus but without the distraction of other objects on the page. You can either open up Logo Studio to create a logo from scratch or select some objects in your document and pull them into the Logo Studio for further editing, fine-tuning, and filtering.

Within Logo Studio you have access to a multitude of drawing tools, filter effects, and import options to help you create your logo or other graphic. Versatile text on a path, 3D, blur, and shadow effects, and transparency are just some of the options available in the Logo Studio.

You can save your creations to your own Design Gallery for use in other publications, export your work in a variety of graphics formats, or return to your main PagePlus document where you can view your creation on the page alongside other objects.

The Logo Studio works seamlessly within your document and can be used in conjunction with other PagePlus features including the Image Cutout Studio. The graphics tools built into PagePlus and the Logo Studio may be all some users ever need. For others, it's a convenient tool for trying out new ideas that you might later choose to refine using your full graphics arsenal.
