We used the top 5 logo maker websites on Google to see how they are doing in the year 2023. There is a lot of conversation about how AI and automation will change graphic design but we are sitting confident that a creative, and most importantly – strategic – mind is still winning today.
The Experiment
We fed the builders the same direction for the name and style for our example UNIVERSE logos: modern, neutral colours, and galactic icons. Some had more customization features than others but you will see the missing factor for all of them is a cohesive representation between the colour, typography and style (core elements of a logo design). And lucky for us, this can only be achieved by a logo designer with a keen eye for contemporary style and understanding of what’s appropriate for a logo to best suit the industry and subject.

DALLE-2
BIGGEST FAILS:
I… don’t even know where to begin. AI is just not in the game yet clearly.
Aside from the aesthetic of the logos themselves (generic!), we are reminded how important strategy is. UNIVERSE helps you to create a brand that is unique and tells your story in an impactful way, from your logo to all of your online messaging. The accompanying visual assets we create, such as photography, patterns and sophisticated colour palette designs, are all extremely important to define your visual style and your brand in a cohesive way.
Let’s create something cool together!
