Product Questions

Q. Can I use the Alphabet Art 1 expansion pack in Logo Design Studio?

A. No; Alphabet Art 1 only installs into Logo Design Studio Pro.

Q. Where do I find the new logo objects and templates after I install Alphabet Art 1?

A. All the new objects and templates will be located directly in your Logo Design Studio Pro application. Just look for the new Alphabet Art 1 categories under both the SVG Objects section of the Objects window and the Templates browser.

Q. Can I trademark the logos I create in Logo Design Studio Pro?

A. Yes, you can. Just keep in mind that it is up to you to make sure your design does not copy any other trademarked design (for example, making a logo look like the Nike swoosh trademark would not be good).

Q. How do I change a template to my own look?

A. After you choose a template from the Templates browser, start by first clicking on the text (double or triple click your mouse on the text until it highlights the text). Once the text is highlighted, you can simply type in your own name to replace the template text; to adjust the size and font style, keep your text highlighted and then click the Fonts icon in the toolbar to open the Font manager tool.

If you would like to change the look of the logo object on the canvas, click the object to see the anchors appear around the object. You can then click on a corner anchor and drag the anchor to resize the object (hold down the Shift button on the keyboard to keep the aspect ratio of the object as you resize it).

You can also add a filter to the selected object by clicking the Effects icon in the Inspector toolbar. Click the Filters tab, check the "Apply All Filters" checkbox and then browse through the filters from the dropdown arrow. You can remove any filter at any time by simply unchecking the individual filter or the "Apply All Filters" checkbox.

Q. Where can I find the SVG (scalable vector graphics) versions of the objects on my Mac?

A. Simply select the Objects icon in the main toolbar to open a Media browser; the browser allows you to choose between adding an SVG or PNG version of the object to the current logo canvas.

The vector (SVG) versions of the objects that are installed in Logo Design Studio Pro are located in (Macintosh HD) | Library | Application Support | Logo Design Studio Pro. These vector based objects can be used in any other vector application (Adobe Illustrator, etc.), allowing you to fully edit and change each object.
