Designing a logo with AI

What is Generative AI?

Generative AI is a subset of artificial intelligence that leverages machine learning techniques to produce content. It works by understanding the patterns, styles, and structures in the data it is trained on. Once it understands these elements, it can generate new, original content that resembles the learned style, whether that's writing, music, or in this case, logos.

First Step: Get Inspired

Before you start creating your logo with generative AI, it's essential to gather inspiration. Look at logos from businesses within your industry as well as those outside of it. What do you like about them? What don't you like? You should also consider the message and feelings you want your logo to convey. Do you want it to be modern, traditional, playful, serious? These are all aspects to consider in the inspiration phase.

An important part of this phase is to experiment with different prompts to see which produce the kind of results you're interested in.

A few examples of prompts you can use to generate logos are:

Another useful approach is to browse and search for existing logos in the library to draw inspiration.

Honing in: Setting Style, Shapes, Colors

Now that you have an idea of what you want your logo to look like and represent, it's time to start designing. In generative AI logo design platforms, you'll be able to input your preferences in terms of style, shapes, and colors.

  • Style: This refers to the overall look and feel of your logo. For example, if you want a minimalist, modern logo, you might opt for simple shapes and clean lines.
  • Shapes: The shapes used in your logo can have different meanings. For example, circles can represent unity and commitment, squares can indicate stability and balance, and triangles can imply dynamism and growth.
  • Colors: Each color can invoke different emotions. For instance, blue often conveys trust and loyalty, red can signal energy and passion, and green typically represents growth and health. Choose a color scheme that aligns with your brand message.

Fine-Tuning: Editing to Get the Final Details Just Right

Once the generative AI has created a series of logo options based on your inputs, it's time to fine-tune your preferred design. You can adjust the color shades, resize or reposition the logo elements, and even change the typography until it's just right. During this process, it's important to consider how the logo will look in different contexts—on your website, on social media, on a business card, etc.
