Logos are easy targets for slop. Say goodbye to any original logo artistry!
I’ve not seen one original logo at my work since slop has become available. As it goes!
Frankly, if I were getting a new logo made for anything serious, I’d want it in vector format. We don’t presently have any models trained to create vector art that I’m aware of, just raster images of vector art, and vectorization of raster images isn’t really good enough today to use that as a path to vector output.
Some models aren’t bad at SVG.
I’ve noticed work van/truck wraps popping up left and right. It’s always a hipster logo with some little AI character, like a furry plumber, or bob the builder knock off with a big wrench.
So it’s not just me? I just started noticing several new companies in wrapped trucks and vans like this in the last couple years, too, because they all have some kind of furry-centric logo.
Ai was trained on petabytes of stolen furry images from Tumblr and DeviantArt

I filed an issue with an AI project who was unknowingly using the Arch logo for their project, they used an AI to generate it.
Generative AI making a mess when people apply no critical thinking to its outputs is really the motif of 2025.
Even if the person who made this wasn’t familiar with the Arch logo (questionable for anyone claiming to have made an OS) a simple reverse image search would have shown this logo was already taken.
I agree, I’m really trying to give people the benefit of the doubt but it is just really hard to believe they are a dev and just have never seen that logo before.
Company I worked for a dozen years ago, who had many significant clients, already had most of their logos created by randos on Fiverr for pocket change.
That at least was human created and benefit someone, albeit small.
Human created, yes. Sadly often enough not by the same humans who took the money.
It’s not logos have been the most creative looking things since minimalistic styles took over anyway 🤷♂️
At least they’re a great representation of who owns the AI models and what they produce.
even before ai…all companies started blending into visual garbage
Corporations are just analogue AI.
ItS AI SLoP GuYs!!
I read that as Lego initially lol

To be fair: Logo slop has been the standard for decades long before AI, with graphic designers being forced to create it (The client is always right, especially if the client is an idiot who doesn’t know anything about design). This becomes obvious when you look at the evolution of brand logos.

“I know! Let’s make our logo the first letter of our product! It’ll make for a great app icon especially, because they’ll easily recognize that sharp logo”
(I have 18 apps with a monogram logo icon)

Minimalist style boring and feel repetitive, since all of major companies use the same style over and over again. Yikes

Could be worse. Imagine the same slop in a more baroque style…

TBF, if they had an idea about design, specifically about typo and logos they’d not be clients. Idiots… that’s a different topic, but let’s agree that some types with a strictly technical or -worse- strictly economical background have quite bizarre ideas in the visual field. It really get annoying if they’re perfectly sure they know better than you.

There are clients who are smart enough to know what they want but who still let you do your job because you’re doing something they can’t. Very rare but it’s wonderful to work with them.
