Yeah, the ML is still in it's infancy, so we're almost in that cold-start right now. To address that, I built in some more randomness into the algorithm so the initial logo designs can just get the user thinking and then we can get a better sense of their taste as they favorite logos. Without that randomness, the algorithm tries and fails horribly at creating logos.

I would love to analyze 'good' logos. I would imagine it's realllllyyy hard to analyze actual pixels. We just analyze actions and pre-created objects (ie. a font choice).

Really well said.

yeah, getting a lot of negative feedback on that. Will definitely be testing it as an optional signup.

If you click into a logo, then click back out, it should un-stick.

I talked about the ML in a comment here and on IH.

And yes the site is definitely hurting right now :P

Thanks for your feedback, will definitely test different arrangements.

Great question. I've been designing logos for 12 years so I have a good sense of what's important:

1. Amazing fonts. This is the low-hanging fruit, and the core of every logo. Some logos are just nice fonts :P

2. Brainstorming and idea exploration. Logojoy is cool because it gets you thinking, and makes it a joy (haha) to explore different fonts, symbols, colors, etc.

3. Presentation. If you look at how the top agencies present logos to clients, it's always with a ton of whitespace, real-life mockups, etc.

Hey! Small world for sure. It was 90% of my time, I did a little freelancing for existing clients. I started work on it in September 2016.

Haha thank you! It's been a lot of work. PS. how bout that support guy - what a cool dude

Oh damn. Thanks. How did I not see that. Well, can't update it right now :\

Funny, some designers have actually reached out asking about a subscription for their studio

Thanks! Yeah, it's a little unnverving not knowing if you'll make any money tomorrow, but it's a simple model that fits the solution.

Thanks for the feedback, really really appreciate it. I've taken notes!

* slow-loading/blank logos is due to HN traffic * reloading the page won't lose your favorites if you have signed up.

Firefox has known issues with svg

I'm sure we can get around them, but not in v1

One thing is the intimidation factor. 3 months ago, I had 0% confidence that I could do anything that even touched ML. I'm still very new to the game, but once I started learning about it, it became much more approachable.
