Because any given logo can appear in thousands of different sizes and media, logos should never be
created as pixels in Photoshop. If that statement strikes you as blasphemy, odds are you’re new to logo design, in
which case the following tutorial is a mandatory part of your education.
If, however, you already knew that logos should always be designed as vector shapes, then this how-to from Dave Cross and PixelAddiction is a great power user tip.
And, if you routinely place logos or other vector shapes into Photoshop documents, this tutorial just might supercharge your workflow.The tutorial will show you how to take a logo or other vector shape from Illustrator—or natively drawn in Photoshop—and always have it just a click away, without the need to place, import, paste, or any other such repetitive time sucker.
