I would like to design logo / branding graphics for a project. Something from iTunes preferred. Or, i guess a slightly questionable on the legal front, torrent download.

thanks 🙂

Creative cloud is were it's at. Corel draw is ok for vectors. Don't torrent it some of us have to pay.

I would have a trawl through the logo programmes in the app store then see what on-line reviews say about each one. EazyDraw seemed ok when I had a play with it.

Creative Cloud might be a bit expensive for a couple of months use.

If you're happy to pay for it then Affinity Designer is very good, costs a £39.99. It is good although I don't think its quite as good as Adobe Illustrator despite some reviews claiming it is but it is a lot cheaper and will comfortably do everything you'd want.

For branding/logo work you want to use a vector drawing package. Affinity Designer seems to be the best of the non Adobe bunch. Pixelmator does vectors now to apparently but I've not tried it.

Inkscape is to illustrator what Gimp is to photoshop
Good bit of kit, but watch a few tutorials.

You don't say whether the project is print or online, there are different requirements for each.

My favourite online logo app by far is Sketch. It's in the Mac App Store. I have used it for some basic print media stuff too but it doesn't support CYMK.

[url= http://seashore.sourceforge.net/The_Seashore_Project/Download.html ]Seashore[/url] is also a decent, free image editor for OS X, and my go to for basic stuff like resizing images etc.

If you want to do vector stuff, [url= https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/idraw/id404705039?mt=12 ]iDraw[/url] isn't free but is cheap, though slightly limited in terms of what it can import and export.
