Editor’s Note: Wouldn’t you know? Just as we released this article, a newer 2.3 version with a vector editor has been released. Dr. Roach will review it at a later date.
Back in April, 2009 I last reviewed BeLight’s ART TEXT and found it a useful headline and logo designing tool, but time passes and the new 2.2.2 version appeared as a review copy (from BeLightsoft. Com)on my desk with a new, revamped look and a greater ease of usage. Let me take a moment and restate just what ART TEXT does, and I’ll use BeLight’s own words:
Belight’s ART TEXT version 2.2.2

At US $39.95 (and with academic pricing available) I think it is a worthwhile addition to the Mac computer desktop, and I think the new look of ART TEXT is worth screen space to take you through all the default design options and effects available.
Headings
First there are the premade HEADINGS. Let’s take a look at nine pages of default styles of headings available through their “Headings” option.

Buttons
Now we come to premade buttons which can be used as is, or modified by changing the color, reflection, stroking, or font; we’ve got eleven pages of choices here.
[slidepress gallery=’art-text-2′]
Icons
Then there’s ten pages of ICONS for you to choose from; these too, can be modified in the EFFECTS window. Colors, stroking, gradients—all can be adjusted to your choice.
Finally, there are six pages of LOGOS that can have their colors and text changed at will; all you really have to do is pick lengths of text to match the available space in a suitable theme.
