Mac-specific logo design freeware?

[Bob Barr]

A friend has asked me for a recommendation for logo design software for his Mac. Since I'm pretty ignorant regarding Mac software, I thought I'd ask for some ideas here.

He's new to graphics design and also doesn't want to spend much (if any?) money if he can avoid it. (Since he's a newbie, I hesitate to suggest gimp due to its learning curve. With his requirement to keep his cost down, Adobe Illustrator is off the table.)

With those things in mind, I'm open to any and all programs and/or sites that I can suggest to him.

Thanks.

I'm not aware of any other apps other than GIMP. I'm not sure the learning curve for GIMP wouldn't be any more or less complicated than other comparable applications for someone who's starting out and doesn't have any experience.

The are services online, like Aviary, but one would still have to learn those tools and much of what one would find in one application, one could find in another which might be cheaper [or free].

There's going to be a learning curve regardless. Might as well at least learn it in GIMP and shell out $ later if they want/need more.
