Illustrator is much pricier and does not offer bevel etc. effects like these products...sure it is much more versatile for general design work!

Yeah, Fireworks would probably be the app if you want more artistic freedom.

For pure vector wors there are indeed cheaper options than Illustrator with Inkscape being the most affordable (free).

Tried Inkscape, very complicated and hard to use but versatile.

Avisnocturna was so nice and gave me access to logoist V1.1 Beta....very impressive, thanks!

Looks great!

Is there any way to adjust the canvas automatically to the size of the current layers?
 
Oh dear... Oh no... Oh... I cant look. Oh the humanity!!!!!

Text with a bevel/highlight is not a 'logo'.

Write that down!

This is only a demonstration of a new effect in logoist! I only used text and a clipart image to make clear what the new glass shader looks like

You can apply these effects to any path or image
 
Is it possible to reorder effects? For example, I have 2 shadow filter added and I want to have the order reversed
 
BTW, here is the complete change list for Logoist Version 1.1:

- Completely new path editing tools
- New background object and background filters which can be easily added from the toolbar
- New layers (arcs, arrows etc), all completely configureable
- New generated patterns to create unique effects
- New bottom shadow filter
- New page curl filter
- New glass preset effects
- Improved shaded material fulter
- Custom snapping guides added
- Rulers added
- Much improved performance
- Video tutorials
- Countless user interface improvements
