Using AI to Design Minimalistic Logos: A Step-by-Step Guide

As I sat in front of my computer, I decided to put the AI-powered design tool Midjourney to the test. With a simple prompt, "minimalistic round logo for a technological company," I was eager to see what the algorithm had to offer. However, as I delved deeper into the world of logo design, I realized that the possibilities were endless, and the process was far from straightforward.

To start, I used Midjourney to create a variety of logos in different styles, including metroid-inspired designs and neon-lit masterpieces. With each attempt, I tried to refine my approach and push the boundaries of what the tool could achieve. This led me to experiment with intricate details, bold colors, and unique typography, which ultimately resulted in a collection of 10 distinct logo designs.

Upon reviewing my creations, I found that some resonated more than others. The first design, which featured a neon-lit airplane, was particularly striking, with its vibrant colors and sleek lines evoking the spirit of a futuristic transportation company. However, when I re-prompted Midjourney with "transport company," the output took an unexpected turn, resulting in a logo that eerily resembled a Transformer. While this design was intriguing, it didn't quite fit the bill.

Moving on to the second job posting, which requested a minimalist logo for a tech startup, I was excited to see how Midjourney would fare. The prompt's emphasis on silicon valley-style logos led me to explore different color combinations and typography, resulting in three designs that I felt showcased the tool's capabilities. These logos were sleek, modern, and infused with a sense of minimalism that appealed to my artistic sensibilities.

The final design, which featured a neon-lit ring surrounding a stylized logo, was particularly captivating. Its unique blend of color and texture created a visually striking effect that seemed to pulse with energy. This design, coupled with another metroid-inspired piece, solidified my top three favorites for this project.

As I pondered the possibilities of sending these designs to potential clients, I couldn't help but wonder if Midjourney's output would be sufficient to secure the job. The tool's ability to produce a high volume of work in short order was undeniable, but would it be enough to stand out in a crowded market?

With a mix of excitement and trepidation, I began to consider the potential for earning income by utilizing Midjourney for design projects. While there were no guarantees, the prospect of working with AI-powered tools like this one was undeniably intriguing. As I wrapped up my exploration of logo design, I couldn't help but feel that the possibilities were vast and waiting to be explored.

In conclusion, using AI to design minimalistic logos is a creative process that requires experimentation, refinement, and patience. By pushing the boundaries of what's possible with Midjourney, I was able to create a diverse range of designs that showcased the tool's capabilities. Whether or not these designs would resonate with clients remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – the journey itself has been an enlightening experience that has expanded my understanding of the intersection between art and technology.

This experience has left me eager to continue exploring the possibilities of AI-powered design tools like Midjourney. Who knows what innovative designs will emerge from these interactions? As I bid you farewell, I invite you to join me on future adventures in the world of art and technology.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: eni always see a lot of graphic design jobs online so today i thought why not try to do some of these jobs using an ai image generator since i don't have access to doll e2 at the moment i am trying the new mid journey engine let's go okay so i thought i'd just start off by showing you how mid journey works so basically this runs off twitter there is a free version that you can go into your chat room and get your own prompts for free i have this paid verse now i think i paid ten dollars for 200 images then you get your own bot so it's so not so much spam so how this works is you just type slash imagine then you get this prompt feature then you just paste or type your prompt so i have this pre-made prompt here and let's just hit enter and see what comes up so when you get like this prompt you can upscale one of the four images or you can make variants of them so let's see what comes up okay so i'm not quite sure what we are seeing here so let's try to make it a bit bigger i think i'm gonna blow up image number but curious about image number two so first i'm gonna make some variants of image number two okay so this look kind of cool i think i might upscale number four oh let's see how this ends up okay so this is what we ended up with i thought it was quite cool actually it's a hyper um technological time travel machine so not quite sure what the machine is but the if you zoom in like you see this i think it's like a town in the end and there's like a this is like a road or i'm not quite sure but i kind of like it yeah this is how mid journey works so i went back to upwork to look for some design jobs and i found one pretty quick it says it wants a minimalistic logo for a new established company i would like to find a reliable specialist to create a minimal logo for a new founded transport company so when i thought transport company i wasn't quite sure but i was thinking like maybe it's an air cargo company maybe it's a train company or just a general transport company so i tried some different prompts and let's see what we ended up with okay so before we look at all the final results let's just show you how i did this so of course i use the bot and i just typed in mineralistic round logo for a technological company here i went with i tried a lot of prompts so this was the metroid red style so then i just went for different kind of logos try different prompts and always try to be a center around this tech or this kind of style so i went for a whole lot of these different ones kind of like this one i think the next one was quite cool so here i went for i added some intricate blue and neon colors highly detailed so we ended up with this one i kind of think it was i like that i thought it was quite cool and basically how i this is how i did it like with all the i tried to collect a few logos so if we were to send in this i guess we could send in like 10 logos and if they liked some of them then i guess we got the job then now let's have a look at all the final results this one i really like but it was awesome i think this is neon and purple blue airplane company so i really enjoy this one i thought it was very cool next one so this awesome i think it might i think this prompt was transport company so doesn't this look kind of like a transformers it really reminds me of transformers so maybe it got confused but one of my favorites i think this one was my winner this was definitely like an airport company so it really looks like a good graphical logo for an airport company so i think this is my favorite i also enjoy this this was also from the 80s retro miami voice style definitely if i was going to ship in this job i think i would definitely include this one like my main logo and i like this one i thought it was very cool and this one so i think i would have to send in this this and this these are my three favorites so let's have a look at the tech company okay so this is the second job i found it says full time logo the sauna but i had a look at it anyway and it says the day-to-day task we'll be creating logos for our startup clients we have a silicon valley minimalist style so that's what i try to implement in the designs or the prompts so let's see how it did okay i think this has to be my favorite because it's very minimalistic but it also has some very cool color combinations and the lighting and it's very i think it's very unique i can't really remember seeing any logo like this so i think it's very cool definitely one of my favorites also this as we saw in the intro this was the metroid droid style logo really cool color combinations and i like this neon ring outside so definitely one of my favorites okay this is another one of my favorites this is also inspired from the metroid red input so very minimalistic and stylish so this is the one i thought was maybe hit most on this silicon valley style i don't know why but i kind of like it it's got some details in this ring and the colors is enjoy this my favorites are definitely this one i would send this i would send this and that one so this one this and this has to be the three i sent if i was going to try to land the job so do i think i could actually get paid from doing one of these jobs uh you might do that the greatest advantage you have is that you can produce a lot of volume so you can you can create 10 logos in quite short time and just chip everything and maybe if you are very efficient you can do a whole lot of work in short time maybe you can land some i'm not quite sure i don't have any experience with this so let me know in the comments what you think um yeah and if you enjoyed this video i think you should check out this one where i create uh an ai podcast host and i also create an ai podcast where two ais interview each other so anyway thank you for watching and i'll see you in the next onei always see a lot of graphic design jobs online so today i thought why
