I was hoping https://mybrandnewlogo.com/how-it-works was a little more in depth of how it actually works but I suppose if they gave away their secret they wouldn't make any money :)

I'm guessing they have a stock library of vector art somewhere. I'd love to know what library / libraries they have used.

Edit / added:

On a different topic. I routinely by logos from Fiverr for about slightly more than these (typically $80 - $100) and generally speaking the one's from fiver weren't using any stock art.




The way that a lot of these logo generators work is actually using Noun Project[0], which keeps very good tags for vector icons.

That's an incredible resource. Thanks so much for posting. I'm wondering how the licenses apply if I modify an icon, or merge two together. Happy to attribute both authors but would that even be allowed?

Edit: it is.

> Yes, you can modify and build upon the symbol as long as you follow proper attribution requirements. You can use the icon for free as long as you attribute, or pay via a NounPro subscription


Well played, I searched the terms I used and immediately found the "logos" here.


Do you have anyone on fivver you'd recommend in particular? I've had pretty bad luck with designers just reusing logos but charging full rate.


It’s pretty easy to do your own due diligence. Just look at reviews and past projects. Contact them and ask for more of their portfolio; it’s an interview after all.

If they do a poor job even after that, make sure you review it fairly with detail so that others don’t fall into their trap. You also have control of releasing funds, which can be used last resort as leverage for them to try again if they delivered poorly.

It’s a little more work to find the good ones but they are there, and in my experience the extra effort can save you a lot of money.


I had a difficult time with the "keywords" portion - I'm assuming they're tying keywords to an icon library.

It'd probably be more useful to have a list of words to select from, rather than guessing which ones will be useable by their algorithm.


It would indeed be a good idea to have some sort of suggestion UI in this step.
