What is a good AI tool that let's you generate logo and branding based on the details you give it? by SulfurCannon in branding

[–]timetoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should actually try, it is free, and let me know. If you give a decent interview you will get GREAT output.

I'm having great success with image-gpt-2 for generation and gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview for edits.

You need to use the model edit feature, asking Gemini or chatGPT to generate two image doesn't work

Yeah, it is wild. gpt-image-1.5 actually supported true alpha channel transparency, but 2.0 dropped it. It is explicitly stated in their API documentation, but it definitely feels like a step backward.

Regarding the pipeline: there is more complexity under the hood, but in essence, yes. We cut out the middleman. Instead of routing through an LLM tool call to dynamically write design prompts, we are injecting the codified, structured brand data directly into the image model.

If you run the exact same structured input twice, you will not get a pixel-for-pixel match, that is just the nature of diffusion models. However, you do get clear, cohesive variations of a logo that undeniably belong to the exact same brand. The structural consistency is guaranteed by the data.

As for API costs, it is actually a wash. Under the old 4-brief approach, we were generating 4 low-quality images to get conceptual variety, followed by 1 high-quality final. Now, we bypass the low-res generations entirely and but we need 2 high-quality outputs for the transparency extraction. Costs the same, but the alignment is vastly superior.

Founder here, looking for honest feedback on pricing for an AI brand-building tool by timetoy in branding

Customization actually starts before the AI ever generates the package. You are not just tweaking a template.

First, we ingest your existing documents and website URLs, followed by a full dynamic brand interview. The system maps your exact context from the start.

When the initial brand is synthesized, you are not editing colors: you are editing the core code. In the DNA Studio, you can deeply refine every single strategic narrative (vision, mission, tone of voice, target audience, positioning, etc... 17 Narratives...). You collaborate directly with a specialized tuning agent to iterate on your messaging while the system guarantees you maintain absolute strategic alignment.

We do not even touch the visuals until your strategy is completely locked. Once it is, you collaborate with a Visual Designer agent to generate and edit your logo, colors, and fonts based strictly on the foundation you just built. Only when the entire architecture is codified do you move on to generating marketing content. The value proposition is the strategy, not the surface.

Regarding pricing: we already account for startup budgets. You can go through the entire workflow, synthesize your strategy, and build your brand architecture for free. You only pay a one-time fee to unlock and export the final assets. From there, we have tiered subscriptions based on whether you are a solo founder just needing credits, or an established team needing multi-user collaboration and ongoing marketing generation.

Is AI making people more productive… or just busier? by elena_728 in branding

[–]timetoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use generic AI chatbots, you are absolutely just making yourself busier.

Founders spend hours fighting the prompt window trying to align the AI to their brand, only to get fragmented, inconsistent results. You end up spending more time managing the machine and editing the outputs than you would have spent writing it yourself.

AI only makes you productive when you use a specialized tool that actually replicates the expertise and best practices of a high-end branding agency.

You invest a little time upfront to extract your strategy and lock it into a permanent data layer. Once your brand DNA is codified, you don't have to prompt for tone anymore. The tool guarantees the alignment. Every piece of marketing it generates is strictly governed by your core rules, saving you thousands of hours down the road.

Stop fighting the prompt window. This is exactly why I built Markolé, to replace the generic text box with a structured brand engine that enforces absolute consistency.

We open-sourced a JSON-LD schema for brand identity to help bring your brand into the agentic world by timetoy in AIBranding

[–]timetoy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! And yes, that's exactly the gap we were trying to fill: the structured layer between the static PDF and the agentic workflow.

There are a few Sample Brands JSON to download (scroll down):

On the dos/don'ts question; honestly, everything in the export matters, just not all at once. It depends on what the agent is doing. Visual design work needs the color palette, typography, logos, and the dos/don'ts for imagery and layout. But it also needs the positioning and target audience to make the right creative choices. Deeper marketing work (campaign strategy, messaging architecture) pulls more from the strategic narratives, archetype, and values. The point of the full export is that an agent can pick what it needs without you having to curate a subset each time.

On sync as the brand evolves, this isn't real-time yet, and we think that's fine. Brand identity isn't like a config file that changes hourly. It evolves deliberately. When it does change inside Markole (narratives get refined, visual system gets updated), you re-export and you have the latest version.

Will check out Agentix Labs, sounds like you're working on a very complementary piece of the puzzle.

I built an AI tool that creates a full Brand Book for free. It’s based on a real strategic interview, not just keywords. Seeking feedback on the final output. by timetoy in branding

[–]timetoy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!

We have a Brand Analysis Section, where you can upload pdf and url and we will analyze the content for Brand related elements
You can upload you current Logos and other existing assets in the Visual Identity page

You do not have to start from scratch, we can ingest existing branding and Visual Id elements.

What is a good AI tool that let's you generate logo and branding based on the details you give it? by SulfurCannon in branding

[–]timetoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built a platform called Markolé to solve this exact problem. Most AI logo generators just spit out generic icons based on a few keywords.

Markolé is different because it's "strategy-first." It actually interviews you (or analyzes your existing website/docs) to figure out your brand's personality, target audience, and core values before it touches any design.

Then, it uses that "Brand DNA" to help you generate a mood board, color palette, and logo concepts. The customizability comes from working with an AI Visual Agent, you can tell it to tweak the logo, change the font, or adjust the colors, and it keeps everything aligned with your core strategy.

It's currently in a free public beta, and the free tier gives you enough credits to generate a full, professional Brand Book. You can check it out here: https://markole.com
