The web based creative suit provider Aviary, has released a new web tool called “Raven” for creating vector based graphics. Raven is not as powerful as Adobe Illustrator, but it provides all the basic requirements needed for creating a complete vector graphics piece as can be seen from the demo video below.

I tried using Raven and I was surprised by how smooth it runs. The entire Aviary suite is built on Flex, so it is very snappy and responsive. Working on the browser means that you might not be able to create heavy graphics though. Raven also does not import or export AI or EPS file formats and only supports the open vector format SVG.

Raven is currently in public beta and will probably be a pro paid-only service when it officially comes out. You can try it out for free now at Aviary. Make sure you check the really nice video below to see it in Action.
