I don't really see any difference between this and the others such as Logojoy. What I don't like about these services is that some tout AI generated logos etc etc when really they just take some input and generate the same logos over and over. There is no real AI going on.

Pedantically, AI really encompasses and represents a broad range of ML approaches, many of which are fundamentally just algorithmic. If there's a rubric for producing these and its intended to simulate the approach a human might take, one could argue it's artificial intelligence.

That made some logos Im very interested in (and we happen to be looking for a new logo). Just wondering if the icons are internally created or from another collection? Edit: Looks like they're not unique icons, damn. Edit 2: Since they're using nounproject, I hope they're properly licensing the works and not just assuming they're creative commons so it's free. I'm not seeing any credits given on their site or anythin…

They have a paid API [1]. So I believe they're paid users and paid users don't have to attribute.

I was hoping https://mybrandnewlogo.com/how-it-works was a little more in depth of how it actually works but I suppose if they gave away their secret they wouldn't make any money :) I'm guessing they have a stock library of vector art somewhere. I'd love to know what library / libraries they have used. Edit / added: On a different topic. I routinely by logos from Fiverr for about slightly more than these (typically $…

Do you have anyone on fivver you'd recommend in particular? I've had pretty bad luck with designers just reusing logos but charging full rate.

It’s pretty easy to do your own due diligence. Just look at reviews and past projects. Contact them and ask for more of their portfolio; it’s an interview after all.

If they do a poor job even after that, make sure you review it fairly with detail so that others don’t fall into their trap. You also have control of releasing funds, which can be used last resort as leverage for them to try again if they delivered poorly.

It’s a little more work to find the good ones but they are there, and in my experience the extra effort can save you a lot of money.

Back in the mid-00s there was a logo sweatshop called Arteis (later bought by HP) where people of widely disparate creative backgrounds pumped out logos for businesses, some as many as a few dozen a day. They, too, all looked pretty much cut from a template, because thinking requires time and the pay was about 1/10th you'd pay an equivalent Graphic Designer to do it over their lunch hour. It's just generating pretty cookie-cutter stuff whether by hand or by machine.

You definitely get what you pay for, either way.

More pedantically, there’s no intelligence in ML; AI doesn’t exist (yet).
