    Hi,
    I'm studying Tech. Graphics and I am wondering has anybody got links to a website where I can find the dimensions (preferably in MILLIMETRES) to famous logos to draw....

    Any replies would be much appreciated,

    There are some notable logo designers http://blog.inkd.com/inkd_website/most-famous-logo-designers-in-graphic-design-history

    Check out their work and you'll find some posts on their method. Don't know why you need it in mm - you can convert any dimension to whatever measurement system you want?

    But if you want to study logo designs, then take a look at some of the famous logo designers and their methods.

    Good luck.

    Hi Cian,

    Logos are usually designed in vector format like Adobe Illustrator or InDesign, that way it doesn't matter what size they are drawn as they can be scaled up or down to any size you like.

    If you design a logo in Photoshop, you are limited by the actual file dimensions and resolution and therefore have limited ability to increase the size of the logo.

    There are no set sizes or dimensions for logos and certainly that shouldn't be a consideration when designing one. The only thing to keep in mind is where the logo will ultimately appear and will it work on web, poster, TV/video, billboard etc.

    Where InDesign does have vector support, it's nowhere near as comprehensive as Illustrator.

    Illustrator is the right tool for the job. As it can be saved to many formats, and retain it's editability.

    The only way to edit a logo created in InDesign is to open the source .indd file and edit it.

    Editing an EPS created from InDesign in Illustrator or any other vector editing program is potentially dangerous - as to is a PDF.

    You should under no circumstance create a logo in InDesign.
