Step 1: Load a bunch free font families

Step 2: Load a bunch of icons with alt names.

Step 3: Randomize 1 and 2 as well as position and colors.

I wish good design was algorithmically that simple, but is not. These are good logos for maybe a placeholder or testing something out, but they will never have the quality of a real well thought design.

Was thinking much the same; we have a product[1] in the same space, but a much larger inventory, all created by hand. Not sure the "AI" space for design is quite good enough for this price point.

I actually really like your service! However the pricing isn't obvious on the site.

Thanks! The core team working on this is super smart. I'll pass your feedback on pricing to our product manager.

That's true, but if you parameterize enough variables and generate enough combinations, you'll eventually find a result with great design. For a non-designer like myself who might want a neat logo on a software project I'm working on, randomly generating stuff like this and picking the best one is something I'd try before opening up Illustrator or hiring someone.

I think the main problem with this service is that the parameters are probably pretty simple and it's gonna mostly output generic patterns.
