So you’re ready to start thinking about the look of your biz. Awesome! How exciting! It can be so tempting to jump on chat GPT and type this in. And look, I’m not telling you NOT to do that.
Sometimes (especially when you're starting out), having a logo is better than having no logo.
BUT....and it's a big butt 🍑😏
Before you build your entire brand around an AI-generated logo, there are a few things worth knowing.
For starters, copyright isn't as straightforward as many people think. In Australia, copyright generally relies on human authorship, which means AI-generated logos can sit in a bit of a grey area.
Then there's the originality problem.
AI learns from existing content. So if 500 café owners ask for a "modern coastal coffee shop logo," chances are the results are going to look pretty similar. Not ideal when you're trying to stand out in a sea of cafés, venues, events, and tourism brands.
And let's talk about file quality for a second.
That logo might look great as a tiny Instagram profile picture, but what happens when you need it on signage, uniforms, menus, event banners, or your coffee cups?
Most AI-generated files are exported for screens, not large-format print. Which is why they can quickly become blurry, pixelated, and unusable.
But the biggest issue?
AI can create a logo.
It can't create a brand strategy.
It doesn't know:
☕ Who your ideal customer is
🎟️ What makes your event different
🌴 Why people should choose your venue over the one next door
💥 What feeling you want people to have before they even arrive
Good branding does more than just look good – It creates recognition, connection, and a reason for people to remember you.
AI is an incredible tool and used correctly and strategically, very helpful for business owners.
But when it comes to building a brand that's uniquely yours, strategy still matters.
