    I think this is amazing. It provides novices with a nice set of safety gloves for creating a logo.

    • Choose from a pre-selected set of typefaces and symbols.
    • There's no option to add shitty effects like drop shadows, gradients, etc.
    • It guides the user towards creating a clean, iconic mark.

    I'd rather see logos from this tool than from PowerPoint or sloppy Photoshop. Get a grip guys, this isn't going to cut the demand for designers, it's going to prevent worse logos from being created.

      There's no such thing as a shitty effect, only a shitty use of an effect.

      It's still entirely possible, in fact likely, that you'll see just as many shitty logos.

        Fair enough, but omitting tools for effects that are often abused goes a long way towards ensuring a decent outcome.
