Aren’t you the guy that did the Joe Rogan commercial for yourself, splicing video of you into an interview you never had with him, that people responded really poorly to?
Looks solid, super easy to ideate and generate variations. The only small gotcha is you need to include the copyright notice for the icons [0] if you want to actually use the logo anywhere.<p>[0] <a href="https://lucide.dev/license" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://lucide.dev/license</a>
A cool experiment.<p>If you're a startup, do not use logo-generation services. You all look the same to me. Find a strong <i>brand/graphic</i> (not UX/UI) designer to partner with over the long term as your brand develops and invest in your brand equity. It will pay dividends.
Looks great. I was an early entrant into the "logo maker" space, which was very hot a few years ago when someone realized that it was a great way to get leads for small businesses who were just in the first days of their journey as a company.<p>Unfortunately since then, the market has become saturated with competitors and other business-services providers that have free logo makers, so it's hard to rank or really get much traction with a new logo maker. Abuse is another problem - people on Fiverr sell "professional logo design" and then just use your tool to make a logo (if you could consider that to be abuse).<p>If this is a nice little bonus feature for your existing users, however, it is very slick. Good work!
Guess "I made a way to get a backgound color under a font I didn't make" didn't sound as well for a title but still. How is this here? Is there a botting issue on hn?
Do you do Chrome?<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hIOfEiy4lc" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hIOfEiy4lc</a><p>Flying Logos<p>First shown at the 1989 Siggraph Electronic Theater to a rave response, this 3 minute humourous film went on to win several top computer graphic awards that same year including Niccograph of Japan.<p>With a voiceover soundtrack written by Peter Conn and animations assembled from various productions done during the previous year, the film unfolds as a client calls into Flying Logos, Inc. to have his logo visualized. In the course of the conversation, we see and hear the juxtaposition of the technical versus the anticipated, the imagination versus the possibility.<p>But more important than amusing audiences and winning awards, this landmark film marked the debut of the PC as a fully capable production system to do broadcast quality work, which up to then was only done by large companies with very expensive graphic workstations.<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38689282">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38689282</a><p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38689488">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38689488</a>
The most common "simple" icon is a word mark and background. Would be nice if you could set a word and font (say, for instance, the letter X) in addition to the icon selection.
Was excited to try the AI icon generator, but it's flat out broken. Prompts for "golf ball" and "museum" and other things result in random unrelated icons.
EDIT: Referring to OP/Shipfast, not this submission directly.<p>I get some sort of weird feeling looking at the "17 products built in the last 2 years". Lots of SaaS which help other people build SaaS, coupled with an "everyone can be a coder/entrepreneur"-mantra.<p>Looked at the startups which were built with shipfast, and most of them felt like a case of "looks really nice, but doesn't actually do much/anything". Gamifiers, aggregators, list builders (just use $FAVORITE_NOTE_APP), social media account growers. I don't know...<p>The constant mention of how much money OP makes coupled with products which helps others make products gives me some ponzi-scheme vibes (just the principle of constantly bragging to give people FOMO).<p>No offense, I've got a slight hangover and the weather is sh*t, I'm probably a bit too cynical today.
Why is this on here? There isn't anything novel about putting a background behind icons. Icons are not logos. If you're using Lucide which it seems like you are, users need to include Lucide's license in their product which doesn't make for a good logo.<p>[EDIT]: typo
Hey HN,<p>I'm Marc and I ship like a madman. 17 products in the last 2 years.<p>So I made LogoFast: A simple & free logo maker, with a touch of AI.<p>1. Pick an icon
2. Add a background color
3. Adjust padding, shadow, roundness.
4. Export, and voila!<p>If you need inspiration, the AI helps you pick the right icon & colors.<p>I share all my work on : <a href="https://twitter.com/marc_louvion" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://twitter.com/marc_louvion</a><p>I also built ShipFast: The NextJS boilerplate to ship startups in days, not weeks: <a href="https://ShipFa.st" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://ShipFa.st</a>
