If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “get,” it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app, you will be charged.

We’re starting to suspect the iPad isn’t just a device, but a wand that turns mere mortals into superhuman renaissance men. Case in point: Triangle Draw, an iPad app by Denmark’s Simon Strandgaard that allows regular joes to create computer graphics that could pass for the stuff of professionals.
JORDAN MARKOWSKI / Trend HunterTriangle Draw is a fascinating iPad app that puts the capacity to create awesome logos in the hands of even the most unskilled of users.
Although the concept behind the app may seem simple, the room for creation is extensive and vast. Using acute or obtuse angles, Triangle Draw allows you to create retro gaming-inspired logos that have a minimalist, almost binary aesthetic. When it comes to creating something that fits in that very specific look, there is no app that’s as user-friendly or dynamic as Triangle Draw.
DONNA BAXTER / YouTheDesignerTop 10 Must Have iPad Apps for Logo Designers
Apart from the above mentioned apps there is Triangle Draw App which is the first of its kind providing the users an easy platform on which they can create new logos, typography and patterns using triangles. The designers also can keep a track of their previous creations and export the new designs to your email or to a photo album. Triangle Draw App can be of great help in creating stunning minimalist graphics.
JOHAN WALLÉN / MacWorldTriangle Draw is a small drawing program where you can only draw with triangles. It sounds weird at first, but is actually really smart. It makes you thus no landscape paintings – rather stylized and abstract works. Triangle Draw are particularly good for sketching logos; Very quickly you turn up something that could adorn letterhead from any bank or airline. Basic facilities like fill, shuffle and mirror are also available for unexpected effects.
STAN LEE / Brand DNASomewhere out there in client land a marketing manager is playing with it on their iPad and wondering why on earth they would commission a designer to do what they can now do themselves.
