Personal Logo

Undertone got it, but i'm going to add alittle...because i'm a pompous asshole. Vector art doesn't use a pixel grid, therefore printed images can be made to the maximum capabilities of your hardware. Also, it's interely scalable. I can print the same Illustrator design at 2"x2" or at 200'x200' and it'll be the same clarity on both. The scaling is really really important for logos.

If you never do printed work then you'll probably never have the need to use illustrator. Those of us in the design industry though, use it all the time...and grow to love it.

I already know all of this...my brother taught me everything I know about Illus. but I just gotta learn how to use the pen tool better

...umm... i said all that because illegal asked.

coulda been sent in a pm..

Actually i asked why he used illustrator instead of photoshop, because he could've done that in a vector in photoshop easy with the pen tool. Anyways, its a cool turnout. And yea i know all about vector vs raster and all that.

yeah but illegal, he couldnt have kept the quality when resiszing if he did it in ps

What he said...

Also illustrator is alot easier to use than the photoshop pen tool. Obviously...

actually yea he could have resized it if he did it in PS, and from what i see he cant resize it anyways bcuz he put text in there. Unless that was done on a path. And im just sayin, for that logo, you could've used photoshop

I have Illustrater 9 on sitting around somewhere...Never tried it, I'll have to figure out how to use it...

Everything in illustrator (besides the few raster effects they have) is vector, infinitably scalable including text.
