Re: Logojoy: AI-powered logo creator
#262I'm curious about how the $15k/mo figure is computed. The story reads as though Logojoy more or less launched on Producthunt, which was 7 days ago. And all posts on the blog are dated Nov 15th. Finally the domain itself seems to have been listed on HugeDomains as of Oct 8th [1]. Now maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like the revenue figure is extrapolated from a small window which includes a wave of initial t…

#263Does the coder of Logojoy 'own' the logos that its AI produces?

Only works in Chrome...
tried it in firefox and it worked fine. I simply ignored the "chrome only" warning
The tooltips over the color selector's bottom row are cropped in Firefox but not Chrome. The page seems to have more whitespace at the bottom in Chrome.

Dawson, how did you decide what were the simplest things that needed to be done first?
Great question. I've been designing logos for 12 years so I have a good sense of what's important: 1. Amazing fonts. This is the low-hanging fruit, and the core of every logo. Some logos are just nice fonts :P 2. Brainstorming and idea exploration. Logojoy is cool because it gets you thinking, and makes it a joy (haha) to explore different fonts, symbols, colors, etc. 3. Presentation. If you look at how the top agenc…
Fonts are expensive. Are these free fonts?

You talk about the ML being reinforced over time by user actions so you must have suffered from the 'cold start' problem in the beginning. How did you address this? Did you initialize it with your own expert curated rules/weightings? Something else? Have you done any automated mining of the elements in existing "good" company logos (e.g. Nike, AirBnB, etc.). I could see doing something manual too like Music Genome Pr…
Yeah, the ML is still in it's infancy, so we're almost in that cold-start right now. To address that, I built in some more randomness into the algorithm so the initial logo designs can just get the user thinking and then we can get a better sense of their taste as they favorite logos. Without that randomness, the algorithm tries and fails horribly at creating logos. I would love to analyze 'good' logos. I would imagi…
Analyzing pixels is something ML has gotten much better in the near history :) Even if you have a very simple recommendation engine running behind the scenes, you can throw in some convolutions to utilize your data to create a feature space just like word2vec, which would give you great power to generalize. Even putting in pre-trained networks like VGG16 (instead of training one from scratch) could give you a great headstart on this.

... yet when I tried to use it, it gave me "Firefox is not supported. Use Chrome". Feels like 2001 indeed.
and yet he's making $15k a month off this project. Imagine the growth possibilities! :)
$3500 in his first week after media publicity, not $15k per month consistently.
Re: Logojoy: AI-powered logo creator
#270Good site, scary site, good because it does a great job at creating a simple logo. I suspect that it can cover the majority of the small companies that want a logo. It certainly does a good job. I tried and created a pretty good one. I've used other similar sites but they've all been created by a team of programmers and system/network administrators over a few years. Scary because it brings into focus how easy it is…
From my perspective, this tool and others like it in areas like web development or stock photography are beneficial. Affordable access to these resources for businesses and individuals will make the world a better (aesthetically speaking) place. When I'm introduced to new clients, I always explain that what they get out of hiring me is my critical thinking and manner of solving problems. Deliverables, be they logos o…
> Affordable access to these resources for businesses and individuals will make the world a better (aesthetically speaking) place.
Either that or it will turn "good typography" into the new "ComicSans". Already in the hip areas of big cities (say, "AirBnb city-trip cities on all continents") you're seeing neat type on Every. Friggin. Barbershop or corner cafe.
Still, that's can only drive the "true creatives" to discover and explore the next frontier of aesthetics to then, once again, help "high worth" clients set themselves apart from the crowd, once again. Not the worst dynamic in the world.
