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.

You could try using Midjourney: https://discord.com/invite/midjourney

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. [1] https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cube2222/octosql/main/imag...

I might have not been too clear about it in the article, so if I haven't, I agree!

All of this was just me finding a practical purpose to go for while having fun with Dalle. If I was really serious about a logo, I would definitely go and pay an artist. Both for monetary, as well as esthetic, reasons.

Though as far as an app icon goes, I think it's actually sharp enough. It starts looking bad when you zoom in a bit.

My significant other who had entered the queue several months ago as nothing more than "developer" got in last week. Don't give up! There's always Craiyon to scratch the itch in the meanwhile. You can start to play around with ways to write prompts, etc.

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.

I'm not looking forward to people saying the same of coders in 10 years time...

I beg to disagree.

I think it makes much more sense for simple illustrations for articles, presentations and books ("pencil sketch" style). For logos, especially since you'd usually want simpler shapes, less detail, with a lot of readability, I'd go pay an artist if it was for a company I was building.

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 is kind of a weird take to me given that photoshop exists. (Tons of proto-computer vision algorithms in there, like basic convolutional filters.) I suspect you'd still get copyright if you modify it a bit somehow.

It's a good start, but it's more of an illustration than a logo to be honest. It should work as a single color (white, black), at small scale and in combination with your product name.

It would need to be turned into a vector to scale properly but I can think of other apps that have complex logos, especially on the MacOS ecosystem. Git Tower comes to mind.

OP might be able to achieve that with a few minutes in Illustrator or similar.

Afaik they are opening it up to a much wider audience in the recent weeks. I also got it just 2 days ago, and applied the same way as your SO, only providing "developer" and nothing else.
