What are the best options on Linux for creating logos as vector graphics projects, which can also be edited by someone using Adobe Illustrator?

Inkscape with SVG would be my first choice.

Just to clarify for OP:

The format is always SVG, as it's an open standard. Inkscape is the leading FOSS SVG vector editor. Boxy is a web-based SVG editor which is freemium.

SVG is the W3C standard for vector graphics that can be rendered by practically every browser. Gzip compressed SVG files (svgz) are much smaller but enjoy less support.

Illustrator can import, edit, and export SVG files.
