How to easily make a GenAI SVG logo

2024/12/17

Recently, I needed a logo for a project I am working. I love SVG images for their versatility, but have the ability nor interest in creating on myself from scratch. So why not use an LLM for this?

I tried to create an SVG directly with all the current (2024-12-17) easily available offerings1. They all failed miserably.

Figure 1: SVG "icon depicting two fingers (one human, one robotic) holding a Sharpie-style pen", according to OpenAI GPT-4o.

This was not working out, so instead I opted to first generate the image “in vector art style” and then convert it to svg using this useful tool which traces the image and converts it to svg flawlessly.

Figure 2: SVG created by converting a regular rendered icon created by OpenAI GPT-4o in webp format to SVG using Rapid Resizer's tracing tool.

Not bad!
