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.

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.
Before I clicked the link, I expecting this to be pretty useless, but I was pleasantly surprised. I'm sure lots of thought went into logos like Electron's or Angular, but at the end of the day, there just needs to be a catchy symbol people can visualize when they think of your project.<p>That said, I probably wouldn't use these logos for an app or anything that needs a strong brand, but they're perfect for little Github projects. They're kinda generic, which is what I expected, but there was more variation in the generated logos than I expected there to be. Even if the designs are pretty generic, I can see this being pretty useful for non-designers who wanna write a library that has a semblance of an attractive README.
These logos are as good as those I've seen produced by "professional" graphic designers.<p>That isn't the ringing endorsement one might imagine it to be.
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!
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?<p>Edit: Looks like they're not unique icons, damn.<p>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 anything about the logo including the royalty free license.
I was hoping <a href="https://mybrandnewlogo.com/how-it-works" rel="nofollow">https://mybrandnewlogo.com/how-it-works</a> 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 :)<p>I'm guessing they have a stock library of vector art somewhere. I'd love to know what library / libraries they have used.<p>Edit / added:<p>On a different topic. I routinely by logos from Fiverr for about slightly more than these (typically $80 - $100) and generally speaking the one's from fiver weren't using any stock art.
This is really cool, some great logo redesign inspiration.<p>A couple of thoughts:
1) If you make the logo designs page shareable (step 2, <a href="https://mybrandnewlogo.com/logo-designs" rel="nofollow">https://mybrandnewlogo.com/logo-designs</a>), I would love to get feedback from a few people. If you don't want to store things persistently, even storing the input params (name, color, slogan, etc) in the URL would be great.
2) I love that the name can be read as <i>my "brand new" logo</i>, or as <i>my brand</i>, <i>new logo</i>.
Step 1: Load a bunch free font families<p>Step 2: Load a bunch of icons with alt names.<p>Step 3: Randomize 1 and 2 as well as position and colors.<p>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.
This worked better than I expected.<p>For a quick project this is better than going to fiverr.<p>I made an ACME logo using mountain as a tag and got a nice mixture of logos with various mountains.<p>So obviously a nice royalty free(I hope) collection of vector art is indicated with proper tags.<p>EDIT: Pricing does seem a bit crazy for what is an auto-generated logo. (In Theory it shouldn't matter who made the logo but psychologically one feels more comfortable paying a live human being $50 instead of a bot).
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.<p>Edit: Grammar
I typed in "cocoon" and it gave me typewriters as my logos...Nice website, but deliverable, not great.<p>Silver-lining: There will "always" be work for designers who take their time to understand the depth behind a logo/company and create something unique.
Really well done. I especially like that there's a "pricing" tab, although I missed that at first.<p>From the tab:<p><i>One low-resolution logo file as inspiration for your designer.</i><p>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.<p>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.
Mine came out pretty good. I'm impressed. <a href="https://i.imgur.com/gogGNws.png" rel="nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/gogGNws.png</a>
I used 99designs a few years back to get my company's logo. It was cheap, fast and good. You get to choose from several designs submitted by real designers and work with them to fine tune it. I am still very happy with the results.<p>This service has pretty generic results, IMO.
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).<p>My current site(<a href="https://www.fibretiger.co.za" rel="nofollow">https://www.fibretiger.co.za</a>) 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, remarkably, not terrible. As others have pointed out, no unicorn is going to use something like this but, as someone who has been hired to design several logos for small projects, this would get the job done for many people.
Perhaps our view of the affordability of logo design is coloured by those $250,000 rebranding exercises we hear about from large corporations.<p>In the UK, a freelance designer's hourly is, in my experience, around £50. If you have an idea of what you want, a good designer would be able to give you some options and a full logo pack in a day's work.<p>Sure, that's unaffordable in a lot of circumstances but, if you're designing a logo for a business, it's not gonna be one of your largest expenses.
It actually works pretty nicely. I put some more uncommon keywords such as 'enlightement' and it generated a happy face with an eye in the forehead. I'm impressed.
Are there any of these logo design apps that are actually free? (e.g. to get the SVG file?)<p>I just need a quick placeholder logo for a blog so I don't want to spend $$
Careful, if the page refreshes then you'll lose all your options!<p>I did like quite a few of them too, even without giving a slogan or any keywords.
<i>shameless plug</i><p>You can also try some custom shapes and patterns with <a href="https://gridgenerator.com" rel="nofollow">https://gridgenerator.com</a> :)<p>Here are some examples: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gridgenerator/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/gridgenerator/</a>
My trials yielded tons of company name + some variation of a star combination ... not very creative. The three descriptive words seemed to have little impact on the results whereas a quality designer would leverage the descriptive words to anchor ideas/concepts.
Seems very nice, but it also appears like they have few stock images per keyword/topic and they would be overused after a relatively short time. Am I not getting something? Are they supposed to take out an image once the logo is sold?
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.<p>Too many logos out there are aren't really "logos".
So how does trademark work with a logo that is essentially made entirely out of CC artwork? Wouldn't another company be able to legally "steal" your logo in theory?

Someone could trivially put all sites like this out of business by creating a chrome extension that just extracts the SVGs it shows you from the page and downloads them.
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.<p>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 experience can tell you that these "logos" that it generates are a complete joke. If you're honestly considering using one of these yourself, just head to the noun project and search for an icon to plop down next to your favorite typeface—you'll probably come up with a better result.
