Hey, author here, happy to answer any questions!

The logo was created for OctoSQL[0] and in the article you can find a lot of sample phrase-image combinations, as it describes the whole path (generation, variation, editing) I went down. Let me know what you think!

And btw. if you get access take a look at [1] before you start using it. A ton of useful bits and pieces for your phrases.

TLDR: DALL·E 2 is really cool, though takes quite a bit of work to arrive at a useful picture. Moreover, some types of images work better than others ("pencil sketch" is consistently awesome). As with programming, it's difficult to realize how much pieces you have to specify if you're not an artist - you don't know what you don't know.

My god it is so frustrating that I can't seem to get open ai access any time I have an idea for a project using dall e, gpt, for whatever reason, they won't approve my account.

I have to sit here and watch everyone else play with the fun "open" ai tools... company needs a name change if they're going to keep this up.

Lately, there seems to be an avalanche of tools like DALL-E, was there some breakthrough that helped make these thinks more viable to run publicly?

And concerning creating a logo with such tools: Is there any consensus on an eventual copyright of such works?

This might not be a popular opinion, but I think all the work OP put in here is probably worth more than 50-100 bucks (which is the price of a logo on something like Fiverr). And to make things worse, the logo itself still needs to be cleaned up[1] as it's way too blurry to be seriously used as an app icon, etc.

Indeed, it is infuriating and I don’t know what the hold up is.

How much did the credits for all this image generation cost you?

edit: found it in the article: "From a monetary perspective, I’ve spent 30 bucks for the whole thing (in the end I was generating 2-3 edits/variations per minute). In other words, not too much."

With DALLE 2, I’ll pretty much never hire a graphic designer again to make any kind of logo. Good riddance, I’m sick and tired of their pretentious justifications for charging upwards of $500-$1k or more for simple logo designs.
