This is not an AI vs professional human issue, this is an issue with taste. You cannot prevent someone from pointing to the right option and saying "I want that to be my logo because it's a pretty illustration"

You can easily get ChatGPT to generate logos that are at least functional, give it a try. Start with

  1. What are the fundamental rules and standards of designing a logo?
  2. Based on these rules, generate a logo for the brand "HomeCraft" involving the shape of a house.

I'm not saying it comes close what a professional will give you, but it's a million times better than what your worst DIY client brings to the table.

That's fair. I think the biggest problem with AI logos is getting the AI to calm down. It can't help but to fill the slop bucket completely full; even if you tell it to keep things simple, it has an overwhelming urge to just keep pumping in more detail.

Imo, the left hand logo is better. Can you imagine trying to get the right side logo on a hat? Probably the best you could do for a reasonable price is a shitty screen print job that'll fall apart soon.

Maybe it's been a while since you last tried. As a test, this is the first logo ChatGPT generated after 2 minutes of typing from me. I wouldn't say it's a good logo, but it's not an over busy/problematic logo design wise.

Alright, yeah, that's pretty good restraint there

I decided to see what would be made following your prompt. Here's the image.

Seems decent. Doesn't really have the warmth of a home, but that's more on the prompt specifying house without further detail. I took it a step further and told it to add a couch and a lamp like in the logo in the op.

I definitely prefer the freelancer one but I don't think it's bad. Certainly better than the logo in the op lmao.

Edit: given where I am I should probably specify I think it's not bad compared to the trash fire that is the ai logo in the op. Design wise it's very lazy and looks like someone threw in a pair of icons from an icon pack into a house in a generic way. The two assets in the house do not feel like they exist within the same space.

The bottom one looks like there’s an old car in the house hahaha

What truly makes a house a home is parking a car in your living room.
