TOKYO (MacHouse) – So my 2-year old 3.1 GHz iMac broke last week, which didn’t stop me from introducing to the Mac community Buttons123 as I now have a new iMac. In fact, MacHouse is ready to introduce you another Mac software title. We submitted Logos123 to Mac App Store about 8 hours go. Furthermore, released at the same time is Logos123 Lite is the freeware version of the former.

Logos123 is a Mac desktop application that lets you create 2D logos quickly and easily. The initial release is equipped with 64 shaders. These shaders convert styled text into a beautiful 2D logo. Some fonts don’t work quite right when you design a logo. So what you can do is add important fonts to the favorite font list so that you can access them easily. After finishing designing a logo, you can save one as JPEG, PNG or TIFF image. You don’t have to worry about losing logo properties after quitting the application. You can save logo properties as a project file. So you can reconstruct your logo by just double-clicking on a project file.
