Really well done. I especially like that there's a "pricing" tab, although I missed that at first.

From the tab:

One low-resolution logo file as inspiration for your designer.

Some commenters didn't like the service b/c the results look too "generic." I see this as a different kind of service that fills a very particular need: people rarely know what they want in a logo if that's not their area of focus.

Being able to flip through some possibilities and make simple changes on the fly makes it a lot easier to figure out what you want.

After you get your logo done you might find you have an ongoing need for a bunch of day-to-day, maintenance graphic design. If that sounds like you then check out Design Butler™ --> https://designbutler.co. We provide Unlimited Graphic Design (flat rate, all-inclusive) - web, print, social, infographics, presentations and more.

If you want to see how similar your logo is compared to stock icons from the noun project database or logos of the top million websites, you can try these services that I built as part of my research into shape similarity.

These aren't the latest iterations of the algorithm but they fare pretty well most of the times.

Here are the results for the logo of Mybrandnewlogo:

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…

Unless you've never created anything in your life try be a bit more supportive of others who do.

I tested it and it kicked off a few ideas. Some were very close to usable for a side project I'm working on, where I don't need a 300-hour logo, I just need point-of-parity logo.

Wow, this logo generator is so amazing. Lol, hope logo designers don't get out of the job. But seriously speaking, for small businesses, this is a great tool. I have seen people charging hundreds of dollars just for a logo these days, so this tool is an easy growth hack for startups.

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…

Wouldn't it be a bad idea to base your logo on a creative commons work?

Yeah that immediately turned me off.

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.

Was thinking much the same; we have a product[1] in the same space, but a much larger inventory, all created by hand. Not sure the "AI" space for design is quite good enough for this price point. [1] https://www.brandcrowd.com/maker

I actually really like your service! However the pricing isn't obvious on the site.

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.

I have a degree in AI, and studied it back when it wasn't popular. If I've learned anything, it's that AI is nothing magical. This system is more like classic machine learning using decision trees. It would be nice to try a real neural network, but I haven't found a way yet to come up with neural network generated vector shapes that also look nice. I'm trying to keep the focus on AI to a minimum on my site. To me it…

It would be great for the system to at least move further down the logo image cue and not reuse the first three pictures or so. Could you add a button to fetch a new portion of images?

I don't get the hate this one's getting. I don't think Apple or Google are going to use a site like this for getting their logos made but there are millions of other blogs, social media handles who don't mind a decent looking logo or an idea they can customise further. I think this is an excellent effort and I can already see myself using it.
