I noticed that you are returning the company name in the title. https://logo.clearbit.com/fb.com .Is that intentional? Asking this because you provide a Company API too which is paid.
This API call is just returning a PNG image with almost no EXIF data. In that case, the title is set by browsers to the filename, which is equal to the domain name itself. Are you seeing something else in the title? (I see fb.com)

I am using firefox which apparently uses this header to set the title. Chrome OTOH won't do it
Hey Alex, This is pretty sweet. Nice job! Is there a post where you talk about the tech behind this API? I've been working on a simple API that finds domain names from company names that I use on projects where I use business intelligence APIs like Clearbit and FullContact.
When I saw the tagline "Business Intelligence APIs" at the top of the posted link, I totally thought Clearbit's line of business was something completely different-- more along the lines of data warehousing, analytics and reporting.

Two reasons: 1. It degrades design as a profession. It's essentially saying that logo design can be done by an algorithm. "There's no creativity to it". Wouldn't you be offended if someone said a basic algorithm could eliminate your job? (perhaps you wouldn't) 2. It's an overly simplistic view of what a logo/brand identity is. You can't just pick out some basic shapes and text for your logo. You need color theory, co…
> Wouldn't you be offended if someone said a basic algorithm could eliminate your job? Of course not. In fact, I spend quite a large portion of my time automating most of my work, so I can do other, more interesting things. Besides, if a company looked for and used a "free logo generator", would that company really be the type of client you wanted to pick up?

It's the same as a software engineer being offended that a free website generator exists.

Of course not. That still doesn't mean that the sentiment isn't degrading to designers. (it is)

Maybe let the entity decide for themselves what they want?
