Logo maker

How to use it

1. Type the business name and, optionally, a tagline.
2. Choose a mark: an icon from the search, a monogram, or words only.
3. Pick a typeface, a layout and a badge shape, then the colours.
4. Shrink the preview to check it still reads small, then download the PNG or SVG.

What you can and cannot do with what comes out

The icons are from Lucide, under the ISC and MIT licences. Both permit commercial use with no fee and no credit line on your logo, so the PNG and SVG here are yours to put on a sign, a package or a website without asking anybody.

What no licence can give you is distinctiveness. A mark built from an icon set that every other project can also use is not unique, and nothing generated here is a trade mark — registering one requires a mark that is distinctive in your class of business, and an icon in a circle generally is not. If a logo needs to be defensible, this tool is the sketch you take to a designer, not the thing you register. The monogram and words-only modes get you closer, because your own name is the distinctive part.

Which file to use where

The PNG is 1024 pixels square and transparent unless you set a background — use it for anything on screen, and note that saving it as a JPEG later puts a white box straight back behind it. The SVG is a true vector and scales to the side of a van, but its text is live text: on a machine that does not have the typeface installed it will re-set in a fallback face. Converting the letters to outlines is what a design tool does when you say “create outlines”, and doing it here would mean shipping whole font files into your browser.

A logo that works is one that survives being small

Most of the places a logo actually appears are tiny — a browser tab, an app icon, the corner of an invoice. Shrink the preview to about a centimetre and see whether it still reads. Detail, thin strokes and a long tagline are the first things to go, which is why the badge and monogram modes tend to outlast the elaborate version.
