Oh forgive me for not being an Illustrator fanboy.
Seriously, though, being able to zoom to over 400,000% is extremely useful when designing letterforms. You can zoom in to such a degree, you could literally encode secret messages in your work that would be indetectable (not saying that I've done that, mind you). Also, the multi-page functionality represents a huge leap over Illustrator in versatility (especially useful for double sided business cards).
My only real gripe with Corel is the annoying manner in which things tend to get messed up when you import from Corel into other applications. In particular, there seems to be a major glitch when it comes to getting Corel vectors into Fireworks, but additionally, you have to be careful when integrating Corel with Illustrator. I've had plenty of hair-pulling moments. I put up with it because of Corel's feature set, extreme precision, and rock solid stability.
Graphic designers for logos?

Graphic design —my line of work as well.

Oil an emergency?! It's about time, Brigadier, that the leaders of this planet of yours realised that to remain dependent upon a mineral slime simply doesn't make sense.

First of all I apologize for the resurection of such an old thread, but I decided it is better this way rather than to open a new thread on the same theme.
I got bored tonight and I remembered Darth Wong's request for a graphic designer and how it died without any specific result. As such I fired up Photoshop and came with these two mock-ups for a main site face-lift.
It seems though that the JPG compression and the upload to ImageShack messed a bit with the pattern on the background, but I can upload a higher quality file if needed.

Well, the whole thing was done at 1AM after midnight so missalignements are not a surprise. Also I tried to accommodate the layout for the content pages as well. This means that either I will have to come with a different SD image that will fill the available area or find some other trick to cover that space.

You know, with all the bored graphic designers on this board, we could have a logo contest...
