That thing just screams AI slop.
I hate that some real people actually think like this and don’t see the problems here.
“Guys I turned your Nike logo from a swoosh to wind blowing dust in a vague swoosh like shape also there’s a foot there so you know where it came from and we’ll stitch that on AAAAAAALLLL your products and guys… Guys? What do you mean I’m fired?”
Did you seriously think the freelancer isn’t capable of creating something like that? Like, do you think that FedEx uses their name with a hidden arrow in the “Ex” because they couldn’t hire anyone to draw them a photorealistic delivery truck with a box on it or whatever? Microsoft can’t figure out how to make a window with reflections so they use the squares?
The simplicity isn’t an accident.
Right?!? I wonder what happens when the business with the AI logo has to pay for full-color printing for all of their materials because their logo is so visually complex.
This isn’t an issue if you solely operate digitally, but a storefront needs signage. Advertising becomes much more expensive in process color than 1 or 2 spot colors. Most physical businesses need things like business cards, invoices, purchase orders, packaging, …
A professional designer will usually create a 1-color or 2-color logo to use for some of those things even when you have a full-color logo design to use on the most “important” materials. AI won’t give that level of service, for sure.
You realise you are the ones in being ridiculed with rage bait ads here? Nobody uses these and it’s, like with the last five thousand rage bait articles, only looking for engagement. Nothing else.
I think maybe this isn’t the community for you.
Sorry, I don’t like being in cozy communities with single minds. I like interacting with humans, especially those with contradictory opinions
Then maybe not a Community with the name “fuck ai” if you want “contradictory opinions” on ai
I don’t understand? You are reacting with the exact designed rage and providing the exact free exposure the rage bait ad was selected to incite. None of it really has anything to do with ai?
There are plenty of communities for that. I like those too. But sometimes you just need to do bits on stupid AI slop.
But this is rage bait. It wants people to react the way you do and send to a friend. Only those still less informed when reached is their target that they want to sell ai to. It is pretty entertaining to view people so angry that they don’t understand they are being played and ask them about it because most of the time they double down on their fury and it can lead to very deep personal conversations about their fears and reasons they are hateposting on the internet instead of living, it is interesting to me how people come to these behaviors
I legit thought Lemmy just got ads when I saw this post

I would NOT support a business that has an AI generated image.
Ai did a shit job.
-Ex graphic designer
Maybe your trained eye can tell better than me but it looks to me that the homecraft name in the AI one isn’t even centered properly.
It’s the style lol
The one on the right is prettier (not necessarily better. I’ve read some comments by people that know more than I do with some valid points). However, to create the image on the right, they probably fed the AI the image from the left, made by a designer.
Honestly, from a design perspective I do think the one on the right is actually better in some respects. Yes, it wouldn’t scale well, there’s too many colours, it’s too busy, but it has some good points. The font choice draws you in more, with less space between the letters making it easier to read at a glance and the ‘f’ creating interest. And the house is actually united with the text, whereas in the left image it feels completely disconnected.
I would be pretty disappointed if I’d paid for a logo and I got the left image tbh, it’s not very interesting or memorable. Yes, fuck AI, but I’m not sure this is the best comparison because both logos suck in different ways.
I wouldn’t be surprised if she paid $5 on Fivr for the logo on the left just so she could say it’s from a freelancer.
Honestly I was confused on AI made whicu one. Guess I am overestimating AI, in some sense & I need to improve my AI literacy.
Someone doesn’t know what a logo is for, I see.
anyone with a year of design training will know why the right “logo” is a pile of shit.
anyone with a month of experience printing will know why the right “logo” is a pile of shit.
anyone who has had 5 minutes with genAI will think they’re a design master when they create the “logo” on the right.
No experience in printing, but I guess its impossible to Print that Logo with that Kind of Detail in a timely manner without it looking like shit?
Also, everyone who ever heard about web design and hosting will know that such a picture is impossible to scale up and down, and also that picture will take up literal gigabytes since you can neither use normal PNGs because of the quality nor vector based art (they store the picture as mathematical equasions, so the PC has to render them, but it can be indefinitely made smaller and bigger without it becoming more pixely) because that sort of detail will just be impossible to render on grandmas smart TV from 2010, so you will have to store this picture as PNG in different formats as many times as you want to display that image
No, you understand the printing problem. Any logo needs a vector version so it can be scaled to any size. Lacking that is a non-starter.
And don’t start me on the colors.
No. You don’t need a year of design training. It is redicilous you buy in to that idea. It is a rage bait ad because it generates most clicks and therefore ad company revenue. Nobody alive thinks that is a good logo. That is the point.
I disagree.
Anyone who has spent a few minutes thinking about what a logo is and what it’s used for will be able to tell you that one of these is a logo and the other is… a picture.
so sayeth artist_mariana lmao
It’s probably a bot for marketing the platform
She’s an artist the way I’m a chef when I go to a restaurant and order food.
Lol was looking for this comment
I don’t like either, but the left one at least scales better for various applications across platforms and media.
That logo is terrible.
Like, a core component of a good logo is that it’s easily identifiable at a glance at all shapes and sizes and on various backgrounds… complicated photorealistic logos basically lack all of these criteria by default.
This is why you need someone experienced not some ai slop.
This is the modern-day equivalent of Frontpage/clipart
I get what you’re saying (esp low-quality clip-art), though lots of clipart was actually vector art (like autotraced from physical art, giving some prominent styles) so would probably make for a better logo than what they generated here.
I know, that’s not the point of this post, but does anybody else miss, when logos had more than 2 colours? I see it as a sign of enshitification. Every company now has a monochrome logo made of simple shapes, so it’s cheaper to print on t shirts and easier to spot on a phone screen.
Right? I miss fun logos. I get everyone wants to shit on ai but minimalist logos are booooooring
