That's not how you design a logo. A logo, if you want to be serious about this, should be a visual expression of the core values of your brand. Anything delivered by a machine might well be visually appealing, but in the end it's just visual pollution, with no meaning behind it.

@andreasduess I totally agree, a logo is a visual representation of your values and how you want to be perceived. However, it's important to note that the machine (Logojoy) is just doing the work for the user.

@andreasduess could you explain to me how does a "P" inside an orange circle describes the core values of producthunt, or an "f" inside a blue square the values of facebook?

@andreasduess I see, but this is too generic. I mean you can say the same thing for all logos with one letter and a simple shape, right?

@andreasduess There is no right / wrong way to design a logo. Any founder / individual who isn't at all interested in logo design / has little resources to do it, for instance can rely on this tool to create something that gives offers a professional layer of representation. A logo isn't forever, as we've seen way too many headlines featuring subtle changes … See more
