1.This is an illustration, and not a logo.

AI (or more correctly stable diffusion) is useless for logo design since the resulting image is a raster, and logos need to be in vector format since you'll be stretching them to fit into various applications. This is also the reason behind the minimalist logo craze nowadays - a logo needs to be recognizable in an app icon, and on a jumbo billboard.
AI is a black box which gives wildly inconsistent results, and nobody can tell why it does a certain thing - maybe it picked up something from the training data and now its replicating it everywhere. So anyone's guess is as good as the other.

Tl;dr hire an actual designer you cheapskate

[–] filcuk@lemmy.zip 2 points 36 minutes ago

Logo is an illustration. Logotype can be all text, but even then it's usually highly stylised.
One should have a vector of their logo, but it doesn't really matter unless it's going to print. Logos shouldn't be larger than a thumbprint anywhere else.

Obviously AI will output terrible logos, can't agree more, but some people are selling stuff from their garage and simply have many other priorities before spending on a logo.
For those people, having anything is better than nothing.

[–] Starski@lemmy.zip 1 points 39 minutes ago

While most of this is true, calling an illustration of their logo not a logo is nitpicking to an absurd degree

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 hour ago

Wow, AI's come a long way.

getting "some" clear words on a logo is quite an improvement.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago

When your wife edits the "Personalization" settings as a prank

[–] voodooattack@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

I wonder that what prompt this person (or more likely: asshole) wrote to get such deliciously malicious (but still technically compliant) result.

[–] handsoffmydata@lemmy.zip 39 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

Are you incapable of opening in paint or GIMP and coloring over the undesired text?

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 40 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

People are legit losing their basic MSPaint skills to AI.

[–] python@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

It's also not helped by the fact that Windows no longer comes with a decent Paint program. Paint3D is weird af, takes forever to open and I don't know a single person who actually uses it.

[–] some_random_nick@lemmy.world 9 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

They discontinued Paint3D in some update. Regular Paint is still there in Win 11.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 1 points 59 minutes ago

It's not regulaar at all. It features a lot of different things and AI. Also, the fugly scaling dialog remains but the scaling is no longer nearest-neighbor.

[–] python@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

Oh, good to know! I went from Win10 straight to Linux on my PC, and never needed it on my Win11 Work Computer, so I didn't know about that.

Random sidenote, programming Paint yourself is an amazing beginner project! It's easy to explain, gives quick visual feedback when you change parameters and is very open-ended so that you can be very creative in expanding on it. I've let like half a dozen interns do that and they were very excited about it every time haha

[–] UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 hours ago

Paint3D is worse than paint for some reason...

[–] abbadon420@programming.dev 2 points 6 hours ago

I disagree. The default paint programme in windows scales images by the pixel really well. Haven't used it for anything else though

[–] JackBinimbul@lemmy.blahaj.zone 42 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

I mean . . . yes. People who are having AI make their logos have no artistic ability and don't value people who do.

[–] LwL@lemmy.world 11 points 8 hours ago

That's not even artistic ability, that's just basic tool use.

...but yea that still applies

[–] pigup@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

🤯

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 15 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

This is always the part that blows my mind, they can't just crack open an image editor to move the project over the finishline? Seriously if you're already 90% of the way there with an AI generated image, just pop open GIMP or paint.net or whatever and make those couple of tweaks. Or, y'know hire an artist and say "here I like this logo I generated with AI, can you do something like this but better?"

[–] planish@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

The generators don't give you source files or vector images or anything with layers, just (probably 90 dpi) raster images. If you want to get rid of an image element you need actual practice to do anything other than scribble over it.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 5 points 7 hours ago

The average user doesn't know those softwares. They never even heard of em.

They know paint and photoshop, and don't have a license for photoshop.

So they might try paint if we're lucky, but it will definitely look awful when they use the pencil tool to change the colour to one that only looks similar to the background colour, one pixel at a time.

The average user is way less capable than you give them credit.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 36 points 20 hours ago

First, congratulations - I would buy this and I'm sure there are plenty of other dumbasses like me.

2nd, Google knows everything about you. You have to generate the AI image well after you've farted or it will be keen on pointing this out.

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 98 points 1 day ago (7 children)

I wonder what the actual price comparison is for hiring an artist to do your logo or paying for a premium image generation service. At least an actual artist wouldn't write "I just farted" all over the logo so there is that.

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Id say about 1:1000 ratio but just a guess.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 18 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

We tried to hire an artist this week for some works but it has been impossible to find one that doesn't just send us slop from an AI image generator. We know because they are all anatomically incorrect, and it's important because it's for medical adjacent literature

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

what was the price range you offered?

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

ugh same. All I heard for decades is "hey you should pay artists" and "artists don't make much money" and then as soon as I actually need a competent artist they've vanished off the planet.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago

Issue is, they were drowned out by AI slopster grindbros. Work for cheaper and faster at the cost of producing slop.

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 5 points 14 hours ago

Damn, that's grim.

Times when I or someone close to me have needed to hire artists, we've been able to find the right person for the job through professional networks. It's sad to think that due to real artists struggling to find work, that many of these professional networks are liable to collapse, making it harder to find the remaining artists who are still working

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

My gaming video card can toss out a handful of these a minute, you don't need to use a premium service.

A lower end card would just take longer but still work.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Higher end card can do higher resolution.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 1 points 16 minutes ago

Do you need a higher resolution for a logo like that? How big will it ever be?

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 74 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

I mean, neither will a genAI, this is a joke. They included that in the prompt.

The price comparison is that it costs $0 to have a genAI make your logo and more than that to pay a human.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

At least until enshittifaction hits big time.

[–] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 16 points 20 hours ago

With the free tier of ChatGPT you hit output limits pretty much immediately. And with the fact that money is running out for OpenAI, I am willing to say the time for free LLMs and image gen models is not going to last too long. There is a reason why Gemini fucking sucks in the free tier, and somehow Copilot sucks even when paying (I am not crazy enough to pay for Copilot, I have it with a work license).

last year the cheapest I could find for a logo with a few revisions included was listed as 40 but came out to like 110 cad with fees

[–] niceusername@lemmy.ml 21 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (6 children)

Would love to know how much money a brewery in the example would lose in sales having an ai slop logo.

I'd definitely never pick a beer with a generated logo

Presumably people will, but they must lost a significant % of sales

[–] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 20 points 20 hours ago

The great majority of not terminally online people just don't care about machine generated images, videos and logos.

The proper process is to cover the unwanted text with black bars and run DeepCreamPy over it

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 19 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know what DeepCreamPy is but it sounds nsfw and yeah let's do it

Plausibly Reconstruct Anime-style Artworks with Deep Neural Networks.

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I recommend starting with a low-FODMAP diet if you don't want that kind of fermentation.

Also, buddy, no, you aren't making "your own" logo; that piece of shit's in the public domain by nature of how it was created.

[–] BossDj@piefed.social 17 points 1 day ago

That's some solid viral marketing
