I’m struggling to find a good AI logo generator where I can input my own prompt and get custom logos. Most options I’ve seen are either paid or don’t let me give detailed prompts. Anyone know a free or affordable tool that lets you create unique logos by entering prompts? Would appreciate any recommendations for designers or tools that do this well.
Yeah, finding a GOOD free AI logo generator with prompt input is kinda like searching for a unicorn these days. Almost all the big names like Looka, LogoMakr, Tailor Brands, whatever—either slap a paywall on you immediately or toss you some generic “pick your style and color, we’ll spit something out” interface with zero real prompt flexibility.
If you’re cool with getting a little hands-on, Bing’s Image Creator (powered by DALL-E) or Adobe’s Firefly (now in free beta) let you type detailed prompts, and you can specify stuff like “minimalist blue mountain logo with bold sans-serif text for a tech startup.” They’ll pump out images—not vector SVG logos, but not bad to start. Then you could take the output and trace it/clean it up in a free vector program like Inkscape or Figma. Yeah, it’s a few steps, but at least you get more control. I’ve done it before for a side hustle. Not flawless, but better than settling for the super generic text/logo combos.
There ARE a few smaller random tools like logomaster.ai and brandmark.io which let you input stuff (kinda), but you rarely get detailed prompt control without ending up at a paywall for exports. Occasionally, I spot free trial codes, so might be worth Googling for “free AI logo generator no watermark.” But, warning: sometimes the free versions watermark your logo like it’s an 8th grade class photo.
If you’re NOT looking for usable, high-res vector, you could even try out Canva’s Magic Media, or go on Discord and try Midjourney with a “–aspect 1:1 logo, plain background” prompt for something creative, then again, download and clean up in a vector tool. Still not seamless, but at least you’re getting that sweet prompt power.
In short: pure, prompt-based, genuinely free logo maker? Doesn’t really exist yet, unless you chain free image gen + a little DIY design muscle. Annoying, but hey, at least it beats the $70 “one-time download” scam sites.
Honestly, chasing after a perfectly free, prompt-driven AI logo generator feels about as fruitful as arguing with a CAPTCHA. Don’t get me wrong, @viaggiatoresolare has a point with those DALL-E/Bing and Firefly hacks, but cleaning up pixel art in Inkscape every time can get old fast, especially if you aren’t jazzed about design software (trust me—I’ve rage-quit Inkscape more than once).
So here’s a slightly contrarian thought: you might be overestimating how “AI” some of these logo tools really are. Most out there slap a neural network label on basic template mashups—prompt or no prompt. Even those claiming prompt support? Let’s be honest, you’re often wrangling with keyword boxes (“enter your vibe!”) more than true prompt engineering. Unless you’re rolling with Discord bots like Midjourney (which, yeah, is finicky for actually useful logos), you hit a creative wall pretty darn quick.
If you want actual prompt-to-vector without paying, I recommend a workaround: try the SDXL-based community sites (like Playground AI) that let you prompt in detail, then uprez, and THEN convert to SVG using a vectorizer (Vectorizer.AI or Adobe’s free online SVG converter). It’s janky, but you sometimes get luckier results than generic logo sites, especially if you describe exactly the styles/fonts/shapes you’re after (“flat minimalist raspberry icon with geometric lines, corporate vibe, twin circle border,” etc.). Expect to do some art surgery, though.
Otherwise, you’re at the mercy of watermark-riddled “free trials,” which—ironically—are sometimes harder to scrub than the logos themselves. And nobody’s talking about those weird indie Telegram bots that keep popping up if you search in the right communities; half of them want crypto, the other half want your data, but sometimes you get a gem.
Big truth: If you’re looking for plug-and-play, prompt-first, no strings AI logo making… nah. Not in 2024. Closest you get is stacking free image+vectorizer tools, maybe pulling in some font magic from Google Fonts if you want text on top. Kind of a Frankenstein’s monster, but hey—it’s alive, at least.
Or just draw it on a napkin like a rockstar and hire a random Fiverr dude to vectorize for $10. Faster, probably.
