i am doing a logo for a friends company, i know what i want to draw but don't have illustrator and not going to buy it to do one logo. it's just a simple line drawing, any suggestions on what program to use? would the trial version of illustrator let me save? apple works drawing really doesn't do what i want.

Just curious, but are you a graphic designer?

I think you might will like this app Lineform from Freeverse Software
Personally I'm trying to figure out a way to use this app full-time over Illustrator since I can't stand Illustrator's bloated and buggy UI. The main thing that's preventing me at this moment is Lineform's weak Photoshop support but other than that it's an excellent app.

Inkscape is free, but I don't really think it is ready for prime-time.

If it's so simple have someone who knows and owns Illustrator do it.

The OP tried to do it with Apple Works … OmniGraffle is vector-based and simple to use. (But by no means a match for a graphics designer who knows how to use Illustrator  )

What colors does it need to have? If there are any PMS spot colors required for printing, you'd best go with Illustrator.

Open Office has a vector draw program, and SodiPodi might be worth a look.

Is it still the crashiest component of the suite?
