Yes, UI is a wreck. In addition, services like this demonstrate a fundamental lack of understanding as to what logos are for and how they function. You can't communicate your brand's identity effectively by clicking some buttons and going on your "gut." Do yourself a favor: pay for a professional.

How do you go about finding a good professional logo designer? Is there a marketplace for designers?
For more serious projects, you should probably go with a trusted designer recommended from your personal network, where a logo is part of a complete brand package.

#74This tool is not useful for generating a great logo, yet. But it does produce a bunch of random ideas that might allow a human to come up with an awesome idea.
For example I worked with a designer I found on craiglist for my logo for Remarkbox (https://www.remarkbox.com)
Her versions were everything up to the purple version: http://www.foxhop.net/remarkbox-logo
I was very happy with her work and help coming up with the idea, I paid her in full and ended up creating my own version which is the one I'm using today.
I think this sort of program could be marketed to real designers to help them get the creative juices flowing.
LogoFox is a very cool idea, basically hot or not or tinder of design, something I was talking to the founders of hatchwise about.

Quick side note, noticed a small typo on your website: "Ad networks on free comment systems do more then hurt your brand, they also track, spy, and slow down your pages", that "then" should be "than", just fyi :-) https://writingexplained.org/more-than-or-more-then-differen... if of any interest

#80i don't get it. isn't it just showing the text in a variety of fonts with different backgrounds and sometimes like a shape next to it?
