    1.This is an illustration, and not a logo.

    1. AI (or more correctly stable diffusion) is useless for logo design since the resulting image is a raster, and logos need to be in vector format since you’ll be stretching them to fit into various applications. This is also the reason behind the minimalist logo craze nowadays - a logo needs to be recognizable in an app icon, and on a jumbo billboard.

    2. AI is a black box which gives wildly inconsistent results, and nobody can tell why it does a certain thing - maybe it picked up something from the training data and now its replicating it everywhere. So anyone’s guess is as good as the other.

    Tl;dr hire an actual designer you cheapskate

      1. Logo is an illustration. Logotype can be all text, but even then it’s usually highly stylised.
      2. One should have a vector of their logo, but it doesn’t really matter unless it’s going to print. Logos shouldn’t be larger than a thumbprint anywhere else.

      Obviously AI will output terrible logos, can’t agree more, but some people are selling stuff from their garage and simply have many other priorities before spending on a logo.
      For those people, having anything is better than nothing.

      While most of this is true, calling an illustration of their logo not a logo is nitpicking to an absurd degree

    Wow, AI’s come a long way.

    getting “some” clear words on a logo is quite an improvement.

        It’s also not helped by the fact that Windows no longer comes with a decent Paint program. Paint3D is weird af, takes forever to open and I don’t know a single person who actually uses it.

            Oh, good to know! I went from Win10 straight to Linux on my PC, and never needed it on my Win11 Work Computer, so I didn’t know about that.

            Random sidenote, programming Paint yourself is an amazing beginner project! It’s easy to explain, gives quick visual feedback when you change parameters and is very open-ended so that you can be very creative in expanding on it. I’ve let like half a dozen interns do that and they were very excited about it every time haha

          I disagree. The default paint programme in windows scales images by the pixel really well. Haven’t used it for anything else though

      This is always the part that blows my mind, they can’t just crack open an image editor to move the project over the finishline? Seriously if you’re already 90% of the way there with an AI generated image, just pop open GIMP or paint.net or whatever and make those couple of tweaks. Or, y’know hire an artist and say “here I like this logo I generated with AI, can you do something like this but better?”

        The generators don’t give you source files or vector images or anything with layers, just (probably 90 dpi) raster images. If you want to get rid of an image element you need actual practice to do anything other than scribble over it.

        The average user doesn’t know those softwares. They never even heard of em.

        They know paint and photoshop, and don’t have a license for photoshop.

        So they might try paint if we’re lucky, but it will definitely look awful when they use the pencil tool to change the colour to one that only looks similar to the background colour, one pixel at a time.

        The average user is way less capable than you give them credit.

    First, congratulations - I would buy this and I’m sure there are plenty of other dumbasses like me.

    2nd, Google knows everything about you. You have to generate the AI image well after you’ve farted or it will be keen on pointing this out.

    I wonder what the actual price comparison is for hiring an artist to do your logo or paying for a premium image generation service. At least an actual artist wouldn’t write “I just farted” all over the logo so there is that.

      We tried to hire an artist this week for some works but it has been impossible to find one that doesn’t just send us slop from an AI image generator. We know because they are all anatomically incorrect, and it’s important because it’s for medical adjacent literature

        ugh same. All I heard for decades is “hey you should pay artists” and “artists don’t make much money” and then as soon as I actually need a competent artist they’ve vanished off the planet.

          Issue is, they were drowned out by AI slopster grindbros. Work for cheaper and faster at the cost of producing slop.

        Damn, that’s grim.

        Times when I or someone close to me have needed to hire artists, we’ve been able to find the right person for the job through professional networks. It’s sad to think that due to real artists struggling to find work, that many of these professional networks are liable to collapse, making it harder to find the remaining artists who are still working

      My gaming video card can toss out a handful of these a minute, you don’t need to use a premium service.

      A lower end card would just take longer but still work.

      I mean, neither will a genAI, this is a joke. They included that in the prompt.

      The price comparison is that it costs $0 to have a genAI make your logo and more than that to pay a human.

          With the free tier of ChatGPT you hit output limits pretty much immediately. And with the fact that money is running out for OpenAI, I am willing to say the time for free LLMs and image gen models is not going to last too long. There is a reason why Gemini fucking sucks in the free tier, and somehow Copilot sucks even when paying (I am not crazy enough to pay for Copilot, I have it with a work license).

      Would love to know how much money a brewery in the example would lose in sales having an ai slop logo.

      I’d definitely never pick a beer with a generated logo

      Presumably people will, but they must lost a significant % of sales

    I recommend starting with a low-FODMAP diet if you don’t want that kind of fermentation.

    Also, buddy, no, you aren’t making “your own” logo; that piece of shit’s in the public domain by nature of how it was created.
