I need to reproduce some professional looking charts & graphs for an awards brochure - last year we used excel and it looked pants. Does anyone know of any software that will produce a higher quality??

surely your average pie-lover would take the 3/4ish of the pie as their first piece, leaving the smaller bit for 'pudding'?
That looks a poor attempt at pie-scoffing to me.

Oh you wanted a serious answer?

Do you have Adobe Illustrator?

But to be honest Excel can make some fairly shiny looking charts:
