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.

Agreed!

Ja not bad... I will give the usual props for getting a side project out and launched (That really is the hard part for me at least". It is a bit broken on mobile (at least for me - borked spacing). *Side rant: But I really want a decent-website-redesign service(just concept no css or anything).

My current site(https://www.fibretiger.co.za) looks like a Christmas tree that took psychedelics.. :/ I've always been put off by the high cost of the "design-competitions" like 99Designs cause I could just see them recycling bootstrap themes with better colours:/

This is about as valuable as a “3-Step Code Generator” that asks you for a few words that describe what your code should do, then takes a random code snippet and inserts your words as variable names. A small business may not be able to afford a programmer, but still have a use for decent code. Or, you could use it as inspiration for a programmer you hire later!

Quite impressed with the way this handled some edge cases I tried out. (Four word company name with the third word having 20 characters, twenty word string etc.) I'm sure a lot of thought went into algorithmizing how to best represent a string of unbroken text in a given space and make it look good at the same time.

Edit: Grammar

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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?

Not sure what you mean by fetching a new portion of images?

One of the upcoming deploys will get a feature where you can pick a logo and make new variations based on its fonts, colors or layout. A quick prototype showed that it really helps with getting to a good result fast: Like the colors? generate new fonts / layouts. Like the layout? generate new colors / fonts.

Thanks. There's lots of math going on to make sure the visual parts are positioned nicely. Not everything always works perfectly, but I think for most cases it's working well.

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 $…

I had a difficult time with the "keywords" portion - I'm assuming they're tying keywords to an icon library. It'd probably be more useful to have a list of words to select from, rather than guessing which ones will be useable by their algorithm.

It would indeed be a good idea to have some sort of suggestion UI in this step.

I think I found a bug. If you put an emoji in the slogan the generated logos all come up empty!

The final logos are created with vector shapes from the font files. There are no fonts that include emojis, so that's why the system couldn't create any logo for you. I should display a better message explaining this, thanks.

I do like that the front page examples are all of logos that remain recognizable when you render them in just 2 color black and white. Too many logos out there are aren't really "logos".

When you purchase a logo package, you'll actually get multiple color variants: full color, black and white, white on transparent, black on transparent, etc.
