Designing My Startup Logo with AI and Online Tools 🎨
Today I set aside time to brainstorm and experiment with visual ideas for my startup logo. Since branding is such an important part of product identity, I wanted to explore multiple tools and creative directions before locking anything in.
🧠Tools I Explored
Here are the platforms I tried out during this logo discovery session:
✨ Standout Results: Design.com & ChatGPT
Out of all the platforms, the two that stood out the most for me were Design.com and ChatGPT.
Design.com provided a clean UX and lots of presets that matched the aesthetic I’m aiming for. Meanwhile, ChatGPT offered a unique approach—letting me generate and modify icon ideas using text prompts. This felt surprisingly creative and flexible.
đź“ť The Logo Prompt I Used on ChatGPT
Here’s the prompt I used to guide ChatGPT’s logo concept generation:
👉 View Shared Prompt & Logo Output
The results were promising, and the ability to iterate visually through prompt tweaks helped me explore options quickly without feeling locked into one direction.
🖼️ Logo Drafts & Demo Folder
I saved some of the generated logo ideas in my local /demo/collection folder.
I’ll share final versions and iterations once I lock in the core brand visual style.
🧠A Quick Study on Pixels & Logo Creativity
To better understand digital design fundamentals, I read an article on pixels, resolution, and digital graphics over at Fotor:
👉 What is a Pixel and How to Use It?
This gave me a better appreciation for the building blocks of any image—and will help me give clearer direction when working with designers or AI tools in the future.
đź’¬ Final Thoughts
Designing a logo isn’t just about slapping a symbol next to a name—it’s about creating something meaningful and memorable that reflects your brand's mission. I'm getting closer to that with each iteration, and this creative process has been more fun than I expected.
I’ll be sharing my top 3 logo candidates and decision process in an upcoming post. Until then, feel free to check out my early outputs and prompt if you're also exploring visual branding for your own project.
