My prediction. You won't survive a month with this kind of behaviour. The competition is dire, and it's all about understanding the needs of your users and helping them to grow and prosper. Milking money out of people is outdated and obsolete approach. I hope, you can understand it. :)

What's a good alternative for generating a logo with similar tools to this?

Hire a designer.

As evidenced by any example I've seen from these "AI logo generators," image-generation models simply cannot do logos well. They always create insanely detailed illustrations (not logos) that feel like clip art or anime. Is this is a data-set issue (too much art station/deviantart scraping) or just a taste-issue on the part of the creators of these tools (bad prompting)? Or can image-generation models simply not do "…

I cannot imagine relegating something as important as your logo to some low effort AI bullshit. This is a symbol for your whole company. If you can't put in the effort here then what good are you?

I'm amused at how upset people seem to be about being asked to sign up and pay for this service. I don't remember seeing comments like this on other launch threads on HN.

Sign up for free, try it for...not free. Go fuck yourself!

I’m glad you have the pricing clear in the front page so I won’t use it, unlike another similar service I tried that after wasting my time generating logos with prompts and details only to ask me to pay to download it..

After all the work I had sketching a penis I got hit with the paywall without even seeing a single result

So, I just logged in and there is no free plan at all to try your service as well as no way to delete my profile.

I went through the trouble of signing up, drew my sketch and prompt, clicked "generate" and it just sends me to a pricing page with minimum spend $20/month Come on, just let us try the damn thing one or two times - nobody's actually going to be satisfied with the first logo they generate, so it's not like you lose the sale.

I think you need to give us the ability to test the creation of the logos before signing up. Maybe ask for payment later on when the user wants to download the logo?

I didn’t even get to see it work before being hit with a pay link.

I don’t really want to sign up before playing with it, maybe you can find another way to achieve your goal?

Surprised no one has mentioned this yet: you should either rename your product, or make it abundantly clear that this is not affiliated with, or in any way related to, Sketch, the popular vector design software [0].

I was trying to find some official statement from Sketch about this product and it took far too long for me to realize they are not related.

How did you train your AI? Did you use ethically acquired data sources?

If I see a photo online, I don't need to pay a license to see it, for my brain to process it. If after I produce the same image, then yes you could argue I'm an infringing but only when I do actually produce it. This push for licensing works for the purposes of tranining is not german to the purposes that copyright sets to achieve. It slows down progress, makes it extremely more expensive for small players to partcip…

Germane. And this is still a disengenuous argument wherever someone is making it. We should not defend corporate exploitation of millions of people by citing how human beings do things. Making it harder for artists to make a living by beating them over the head with their own work does not "enable way more creative expression". Writing a prompt hardly counts as "creative".
