Hey everyone! Launchaco co-founder here. Excited to share Launchaco's free AI logo builder! A lot of our users didn't have any form of branding so we wanted to make a simple tool that served as a placeholder until they could afford a proper logo. We classified > 400 fonts based on 7 features and used a k-d tree for organizing the multi-dimensional data structure, all open sourced here (https://github.com/launchaco/logo_builder https://github.com/launchaco/logo_builder). As you go through the logo builder we tweak your font vector based on fonts you like, with a little bit of randomness added, then search the k-d tree to find fonts similar to it. Also here is a live demo of the repo in action, letting you change the feature vector and search manually. https://www.launchaco.com/logo/demo/ https://www.launchaco.com/logo/demo/

Nice work! I like the simplicity but, after having seen lots of similar tools, I'm wondering what the use-case is? On all the ones I've tried, I've been able to produce a logo that looks okay, but not amazing. So, why should I use a logo generator instead of a hiring a designer? EDIT: I should have read your other comment first, which basically answers this.

i was skeptical of the simplistic approach to typography, color and icons. but honestly the result was clean, simple and thus oddly effective. very nice job! (download only provided info.txt file)

  I am glad you enjoyed the result :) May I ask what browser/version and OS you are using?

Is there any database out there that maps font characteristics with font names?

It would be cool to offer more icons, or let people search for icons based on word.
- marclave 8y ago
  You can :) Apologies that the UI is not more clear. There is a search bar at the top where the icons are first shown, then also in the logo editor when clicking the icon menu. Hope that helped!
