Default Best size for logo in PS?

When I start doing a logo I usually make it A4 size, what size do you guys do it? What is the standard size for doing a non vector based logo?

I would suggest that you should decide what is the largest size it might reasonably be used at, for example in vehicle livery, and then double it.

If it's vector the size shouldn't really matter too much as you can simply make it bigger to fit any of your needs.

PS certainly has the Pen tool. I know the functions are similar but not as good I think. But it certainly is capable of Vector as far as I know.

You can do vector work in PS, but its clunky. I'd use Illy for logos, just based on how much easier it will be for you to resize, adjust and colour it for use with anythign that might come up.

Best to do just make it in Illustrator as you can always resize it fluidly at a later date.
