I am new to graphics design. I am looking for the best software used in the industry to making professional logo's and mascotes (cartoon characters). Im not talking about animation, just the actual logo or mascote.

The main softwares that graphic designers use right now are all created by Adobe. You can go to adobe.com and download several free trial outs of many programs for 30 days. I would suggest Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2, InDesign CS2, and Adobe Proffesional to make your PDF and print your work. All other programs are really not used at a professional level.

I like using Freehand MX, that is a vector program, but I am not a professional graphic designer, but I design logos and business cards with it just fine. I think its fine for doing logos, its simple to use. I think Adobe illustrator is what most designers use, also Photoshop, but I'm unsure about that.

I have used Corel Draw for years and think it's great, but it has a fairly steep learning curve. Photoshop is good as well. Unless you have to share the source file with others, it doesn't really matter what program you use. You can create and save a file in basically any graphics format you need.

Adobe Illustrator, and CSII (Creative Suite II) - InDesign, Photoshop, etc. It's what the best pros use!
