5. Select 制作打印logo, multiple versions of your logo will instantly appear on-screen.

What 设计师 Ought To Know 关于 标志速递

3个缺点

1. 有一个小小的学习曲线. 对于已经拥有徽标保存系统的设计师, it will take a practice round to reorient to the way LPE works. The extension isn’t hard to use, but it’s got its own logic that one must adapt to.
2. 每个标志布局都需要一个单独的保存过程. When a logo has different layouts, each orientation must go through its own saving process. 这并不难, but it takes some prior planning to ensure that naming conventions aren’t duplicated.
3. 不同的颜色必须分开保存. 不同的配色方案也是如此. 每个人都必须靠自己来拯救. LPE确实会产生黑色, 白色, 还有灰色版本, but many brands are adopting extensive accent palettes. Running a 保存 process for every accent color could prove to be rather time consuming. Not complicated, but definitely something to be aware of.

3个优势

1. 快速和简单并不是夸张. It really is fast and easy to use, way faster than the standard process in Adobe Illustrator. Learn how LPE operates and organizes files, the saving process speeds up exponentially.
2. 它是负担得起的. Considering the time 保存, literally hours per project, the price is highly appealing.
3. 组织的准确性是一流的. As long as care is taken to enter the right information, 消除了命名错误和组织混乱. 这是巨大的. The monotony and the time-consuming nature of the standard process often leads to mistakes.

每种工具都有其用途和局限性. 标志速递 没什么不同. It’s not perfect (yet), but it does exactly what it claims—makes logo packages quickly. It’s easy to use, accurate, an excellent addition to the 标志设计师的 选项库.
