Are there any of these logo design apps that are actually free? (e.g. to get the SVG file?) I just need a quick placeholder logo for a blog so I don't want to spend $$

You can try https://logomakr.com/ - they have an upsell, but you can get the basic version of the logo for free.

The most amusing thing about this website is that they obviously had an actual designer do some work on it at some point, yet it implies that designers can be easily automated out of the process. All of the "logos" this thing generates are completely thoughtless: it simply searches the Noun project based on your inputs for a vector image, then sets it next to a random typeface. Anyone with a modicum of design experie…

I think most of these are sort of "logos for the masses" type things.

They're not replacing a professional designer as much as they're there for folks who don't have a designer / not going to but would like a logo.

Yeah, to me this seems great if you're working on an open-source project or are just barely getting off the ground and just need some sort of logo. I can see myself using this for silly projects where I just want to have a placeholder or temporary logo for a made-up name while I think about what I really want it to look like.

Step 1: Load a bunch free font families

Step 2: Load a bunch of icons with alt names.

Step 3: Randomize 1 and 2 as well as position and colors.

I wish good design was algorithmically that simple, but is not. These are good logos for maybe a placeholder or testing something out, but they will never have the quality of a real well thought design.
