Logos While You Wait

Posted on Feb 13, 2014 in Random Thoughts

Not all logos are created equal. Some are elegant, brilliant, perfect. Most are just okay. They get the job done, adequately representing a company or service, but not much more. For logos (as with many things in life), great just doesn’t come along that often.

And now, so-so logos will be a lot easier to achieve with Squarespace’s Do-It-Yourself Logo generator. Pretty much anyone (alright, anyone) with a computer and Internet connection will be able to create a reasonably adequate logo.

Not sure if this is good news or bad news or neither. I am holding out hope that with the right tools even amateurs will be able to create something visually pleasing (which I admit is a rather low hurdle). Do I really think that will actually happen? No.
