We just launched Sketch Logo AI

[lopkeny12ko]

Surprised no one has mentioned this yet: you should either rename your product, or make it abundantly clear that this is not affiliated with, or in any way related to, Sketch, the popular vector design software [0].

I was trying to find some official statement from Sketch about this product and it took far too long for me to realize they are not related.

damn, thanks for this comment. I didn't go to their website, but I opened the comments fully expecting the vector design program built this especially with that title.

[pembrook]

As evidenced by any example I've seen from these "AI logo generators," image-generation models simply cannot do logos well.

They always create insanely detailed illustrations (not logos) that feel like clip art or anime. Is this is a data-set issue (too much art station/deviantart scraping) or just a taste-issue on the part of the creators of these tools (bad prompting)? Or can image-generation models simply not do "simple" well?

[__loam]

I cannot imagine relegating something as important as your logo to some low effort AI bullshit. This is a symbol for your whole company. If you can't put in the effort here then what good are you?

[achr2]

The UX looks amazing. What makes this a 'Logo' design tool? The intro video, and many of the examples appear to be artwork, not really logos. Is the output a vector image (a definitive prerequisite for logos)?

[donpark]

Pricing doesn't look right, particularly the monthly subscription model.

What is the target market? Is there a hidden market where people need to create logos often enough to justify the subscription?

[joshcrowder]

I signed up but you cannot generate without paying. I’m not a fan of this UX pattern. Bait and switch.

[tamimio]

I’m glad you have the pricing clear in the front page so I won’t use it, unlike another similar service I tried that after wasting my time generating logos with prompts and details only to ask me to pay to download it..

[romanovcode]

"Get Started" and/or "Try it yourself" redirects to sign-up page. No, thank you. Not interested.

Also, I took a screenshot of the "input" in the YT video and asked GPT to make a logo of it. Honestly it did 10x better job - https://pasteboard.co/4m3JLt5Oxzzy.png

[devmor]

Sketched something, described it and hit generate. Immediately asked to pay.

I can't even trial your product without signing up for a $19/mo subscription? That's not going to happen. Especially when your product doesn't seem like much more than a UI frontend for what I can do with MSPaint and free tools in just about the same amount of time.

[geor9e]

IMO Hacker News needs a new rule to ban this tidal wave of wrapper spam.

The rule could be "If your paid website/startup does nothing more novel than common-sense prompting Bing or Bard or Meta would do for free, it doesn't belong here".

I'd be surprised if this website gets a single paying customer at all.

[Nekorosu]

My prediction. You won't survive a month with this kind of behaviour. The competition is dire, and it's all about understanding the needs of your users and helping them to grow and prosper. Milking money out of people is outdated and obsolete approach. I hope, you can understand it. :)

[dinkleberg]

What behavior is that? It seems like they are upfront about the cost right on the landing page.

[niceice]

What's a good alternative for generating a logo with similar tools to this?

[soared]

Looks cool - if it’s similar to the pixlr tools it should be pretty useful, though very niche.

Maybe for the intro video have it be drawing a normal logo like most people would be doing instead of the weird space jellyfish.

[jordansmithnz]

Does this tool actually generate vectors? Or is it really just an AI image generator with an image to SVG converter added on.

Based on the complexity of the logos it generates, I suspect it might be the latter.

[jacknews]

"combine this two and create the image I have in my mind"

OK, this is obviously a powerful tool for exploring ideas, but it doesn't look anything like a tool to exactly render your mind's-eye, and especially, logos, which are often abstract, and consist of interlocking ideas.

Current AI models do not seem capable of that logical 'click'; witness their difficulty with simple math. They 'fuzz' solutions.

[S0y]

Yet again, another company just launches a product that slaps a UI on top of stable diffusion and tries to make it pass as some revolutionary product.

[darknoon]

in the video, it seems like you were designing something more complicated than the logos I was expecting-more of a vector illustration. It seems roughly in line with stable diffusion, and other models which struggle to make the clean, symbolic logos I would love to have.

[ezgiates]

We wanted to show that even if you have the craziest idea- you can turn it into a design with simple steps with our tool. But of course you can create simple logos as well :)

[micromacrofoot]

I don't see a single good logo on this site (some mediocre maybe), they're all too complicated and poor quality. Maybe pivot to an illustration generator.

The most telling thing? this site's logo wasn't generated using itself.

lol did your cat jump on the keyboard just as you were naming the supabase project?

[katamarimambo]

After all the work I had sketching a penis I got hit with the paywall without even seeing a single result

[csomar]

I think you need to give us the ability to test the creation of the logos before signing up. Maybe ask for payment later on when the user wants to download the logo?

[csstanton]

Absolutely. I didn’t even get to see it work before being hit with a pay link. Maybe the onboarding could show some real-world examples, best practices, and who this is best for?

[ekzy]

agreed, and maybe ask to login to save logo or unlock more features, but I agree that you should let user play around a bit without needing to sign up!

[brilee]

I went through the trouble of signing up, drew my sketch and prompt, clicked "generate" and it just sends me to a pricing page with minimum spend $20/month

Come on, just let us try the damn thing one or two times - nobody's actually going to be satisfied with the first logo they generate, so it's not like you lose the sale.

[Nekorosu]

So, I just logged in and there is no free plan at all to try your service as well as no way to delete my profile. That's very disrespectful to the users and goes against GDPR.

My advice, add free plan and an ability to purge the profile.

Having said that, how do I delete my profile completely?

[anotheryou]

That looks like great illustrations, but bad logos.

[nemesisj]

I tried signing up with google and the long random subdomain that ended in .supabase in the permissions granted modal was pretty off putting. I said yes bc I know this is a new service but if I was a random signup that would cause me concern and I’d not continue signing up. Hope this helps!

[PsyNyde]

this is more of a sketch to image than sketch to logo in my opinion

[j4yav]

I don’t really want to sign up before playing with it, maybe you can find another way to achieve your goal?

On that note, is this lead gen for something, or do you plan to charge designers for access to the tool?

[thoop]

I'm amused at how upset people seem to be about being asked to sign up and pay for this service. I don't remember seeing comments like this on other launch threads on HN.

Sign up for free, try it for...not free. Go fuck yourself!

Oh, most of them are dunking on it because it's ai "art".

How did you train your AI? Did you use ethically acquired data sources?

[throwaway421967]

If I see a photo online, I don't need to pay a license to see it, for my brain to process it.

If after I produce the same image, then yes you could argue I'm an infringing but only when I do actually produce it.

This push for licensing works for the purposes of tranining is not german to the purposes that copyright sets to achieve. It slows down progress, makes it extremely more expensive for small players to partcipate. AI tools enable way more creative expression, than the rent seeking done by descendants of authros dead for over 50 years.

[geor9e]

I'd be very surprised if they trained at all. Everything I see in the examples is easily generated from AWS / GCP / OpenAI API prompts, in other words, another wrapper in the tsunami of wrappers.

[vdaea]

What are ethically acquired data sources? Not obtained from forced labour of kids in Africa?

[tibbetts]

I’m disappointed it has nothing to do with the logo programming language.

[ezgiates]

[simpaticoder]

There is a class of tools that have high demand but also high supply - for example, online json formatters, or doc-to-pdf conversion tools. Occasionally very useful but not a daily tool, and not something to subscribe to etc. Suppliers often struggle to make money and more often than not don't make much, either with something like adwords or gray/black data brokering.

On the good side, AI logo design has strong demand, but I think it probably fits with the many other high but infrequently demanded tools that are (relatively) easy to construct by a modern programmer and deployed on a cheap VPS for fun. Maybe you wish to become a "secret weapon" for fiverr logo designers, who very well might pay a monthly subscription and consider it money well spent?
