Daniel -


As far as *vector* editors go--and apart from doing all your creative in

Flash--it's FreeHand, Illustrator, or CorelDRAW.  Pick your poison.  They're all

groovy in some ways, and not in others.


Yes, Flash creates the most optimized objects for online delivery ... but ...


But there's a wealth of vector art (and importantly, CORPORATE LOGOS) out there in

Illustrator format--that's a huge legacy.  All three of these packages are able to

open and edit Illustrator format files.


Bitmap editors (like Photoshop, PaintShopPro, and PHOTO-PAINT) are a different

matter ...


Cheers,

Dan
