How much does it cost to make a logo with AI?
One finished, usable logo (transparent PNG + scalable vector) without hiring a designer.
Do it yourself with AI — step by step
- 1
Write a tight brief: name, industry, vibe, 2–3 colors, style (wordmark/lettermark/icon+text) — sharpen ideas with ChatGPT/Claude.
- 2
Generate concepts in Ideogram 4.0 (best in-image text): 'minimalist flat vector logo for [name], simple geometric mark, [colors], white background, no gradients.'
- 3
In parallel, generate vector-native options in Recraft V4 (Logo/Icon style), or pick + edit a template in Looka.
- 4
Pick the strongest concept and regenerate close variations (tighten the icon, fix spacing, try mono) rather than redrawing.
- 5
Vectorize to SVG: Recraft exports SVG natively; otherwise run the PNG through Recraft's vectorizer or Illustrator Image Trace.
- 6
Remove/clean the background and export a transparent PNG (Photoroom or Canva).
- 7
Final QA: kerning, align icon to wordmark, then export the kit (SVG, transparent PNG, 1-color black + white, favicon).

Where AI ends and you (or a pro) begins
Ideation, many on-brand concepts, color exploration, rough vectorization, background removal.
Kerning/optical spacing, true vector cleanup, exact brand hex, lockup variations, trademark/originality check.
When you need a genuinely distinctive, trademark-defensible mark, custom typography, or a concept AI keeps missing — AI logos trend generic.
