Turbologo Platform Help
Turbologo (turbologo.com) is a budget AI/DIY logo maker — enter a business name + industry, pick icons
and colors, and it proposes logo concepts you refine in an in-browser editor, then buy a one-time package
to download (no hiring a designer). It's the branding/logo step for founders, indie makers, freelancers,
and small businesses who've locked a name and want a cheap, usable logo fast. Designing and previewing is
free — but previews are watermarked and downloading the usable files is the paywall (per logo). It's a close
budget peer of Logomaster / Logomakerr / LogoAI / Mojomox / Looka. It is a UI-only tool — there is NO
public API (see Step 4). Its two Turbologo-specific traps: vector (SVG/PDF) is gated to the mid tier up
(the cheapest tier is raster PNG only), and the post-purchase edit window is time-limited (reported ~1
month on the cheapest tier, ~1 year on the mid tier) — see Step 3/Step 4.
Step 1 — Gather context
If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.
Ask only what you can't infer:
What do you want from Turbologo?
A) Get a better logo out of it (concepts, editing, exports)
B) Understand what's free to preview vs paid to download, and which tier to buy (vector? brand kit?)
C) A billing/pricing/edit-window problem (watermark won't go, can't re-edit after buying, charged)
D) Integrate or automate ("API" / bulk generation — see Step 4)
E) Decide if you can legally own/trademark an AI-generated logo
Have you locked the name yet, and do you need scalable/print vector or just a web PNG? A logo is
downstream of the name; and whether you need vector decides the tier (vector starts at the mid tier).
Skip-ahead: if the user needs a name (not a logo), that's /sales-namelix; if they want the
validate-before-building method or a branding-tool comparison, that's /sales-idea-validation; if they've
got the logo and now need wider social/marketing creative, that's /sales-canva — route in Step 2.
Step 2 — Route or answer directly
If the user's question is about…
Route to
Generating the business name itself (not the logo)
/sales-namelix {question}
The validate-before-building method, or comparing branding/logo tools across the market
/sales-idea-validation {question}
Building the wider social/marketing creative or a design system at scale
/sales-canva {question}
Building the landing page / smoke test under the new brand
/sales-funnel {question}
When routing, give the exact command: "This is a {domain} question — run: /sales-namelix {original question}"
Otherwise, answer Turbologo-specific questions using Step 3.
Step 3 — Turbologo platform reference
Read references/platform-guide.md for the full reference — the design → edit → pay-to-download workflow
and every module's automation tag, the one-time download tiers (Lite/Standard/Business or similar) and exactly
what each unlocks (resolution, transparent background, vector SVG/PDF gate, brand kit, business cards), the
time-limited edit-after-purchase window trap, the free-preview-with-watermark vs paid-download boundary,
the conflicting third-party pricing (quote a range, confirm live), the copyright/commercial-ownership terms
and their trademark limits, the affiliate program (referral, not an API), and the no-public-API reality
(why logo generation can't be scripted and what to use instead).
Answer using only the relevant section — don't dump the full reference.
Step 4 — Actionable guidance
Designing is free; the download is the paywall, and free previews are watermarked — set that up front.
You can design, preview, and edit logo concepts for free, but a watermarked preview is not a usable file
— downloading a clean logo requires a one-time purchase, per logo. Don't let a user think the free
preview means they own the logo.
Recommend the smallest tier that covers the need — but if they need vector, that starts at the mid tier.
Whenever you recommend a tier, first restate the boundary: designing, previewing, and editing is free, but
previews are watermarked and a clean download is the paid step (one-time, per logo) — then recommend the tier.
Turbologo's download tiers are one-time (no subscription for a single logo): the cheapest tier is a
lower-resolution raster file (often without a transparent-background option), the mid tier adds
higher resolution + print-ready vector (SVG/PDF), and the top/Business tier adds a brand kit
(business cards, letterheads, email signatures, envelopes, social assets) and a light designer review.
Guidance: web/social-only and finalized → cheapest tier can do; needs scalable/print vector, or a brand kit
→ mid or Business. Present every figure as best-effort — confirm on turbologo.com; third-party sources
conflict on the exact prices, so quote a range and point the user to the live pricing page.
Warn about the time-limited edit window before purchase. Turbologo lets you re-edit a purchased logo,
but the edit/access window is time-limited by tier (reported ~1 month on the cheapest tier, ~1 year on
the mid tier — verify live). If the user expects to tweak the logo months later, steer them to a higher tier
or tell them to finalize before the window closes — don't assume permanent editability.
Lock the name (and validate the idea) before you pay for a logo. A logo is downstream: validate demand
first (/sales-idea-validation), settle the name (/sales-namelix), then buy a logo — never pay for
branding on a name you might still change.
You get full commercial ownership, but ownership ≠ a registered trademark — do your own clearance.
Purchase grants a royalty-free commercial license for the finished logo, but an AI/template-generated
logo can be hard to register as a trademark (others can generate visually similar marks; some jurisdictions
question authorship of AI output). Tell users to run a USPTO/EUIPO trademark search and confirm the mark
is distinctive before relying on it as a legal mark.
There is NO public API — don't plan a pipeline around it. If asked to "use the Turbologo API" to script
logo generation, be precise: Turbologo is entirely a human-in-the-loop UI tool — there are no
documented REST endpoints, no webhooks, no Zapier/Make, and no MCP. Its affiliate program (referral
links + dashboard) is a referral program, not an automation API. Logo generation cannot be scripted.
For programmatic logo/image generation at volume, use an image-generation service with a documented API
and vectorize downstream.

Gotchas
Best-effort from research (2026-07) — pricing, tiers, and terms move; verify at turbologo.com.
Designing/previewing is free; the paywall is the download, and free previews are watermarked. A
watermarked preview is not a usable file; downloading a clean logo is a one-time purchase, per logo.
Vector (SVG/PDF) starts at the mid tier — the cheapest tier is raster only. The cheapest tier is a
lower-resolution PNG/JPEG (often no transparent background); if you need scalable/print-ready files you need
the mid tier or higher. The Business/top tier adds a brand kit (cards, letterheads, email
signatures, social assets) + a light designer review.
The edit-after-purchase window is TIME-LIMITED by tier. Turbologo re-edits are allowed for a limited
time (reported ~1 month on the cheapest tier, ~1 year on the mid tier — verify live). Don't assume permanent
editability; finalize before the window closes or buy a higher tier.
Pricing is one-time but third-party sources CONFLICT — quote a range and confirm live. Reported ladders
vary widely between review sites (and by locale/currency); treat any specific figure as best-effort and send
the user to turbologo.com/pricing for the current numbers.
There is NO public API, webhooks, Zapier/Make, or MCP. Turbologo is UI-only; logo generation can't be
scripted. Its affiliate program is a referral program, not an automation API. For programmatic
logo/image generation, use an image-generation service with a documented API and vectorize downstream.
Full commercial ownership, but not a cleared trademark. Purchase grants a royalty-free commercial
license; an AI/template logo may still be hard to trademark — run your own USPTO/EUIPO clearance.

Examples
Example 1: "Which tier do I buy — and will I get an SVG?"
User says: "I just need a logo for my new business on Turbologo. Which package do I buy if I want a vector file I can print big, and can I still tweak it later?"
Skill does: Explains the one-time download tiers — cheapest is a lower-res raster PNG/JPEG (often no
transparent background, no vector), the mid tier adds higher resolution + print-ready vector
(SVG/PDF), the Business tier adds a brand kit (cards, letterheads, email signatures, social assets) + a
light designer review. Because the user wants scalable/print vector, recommends the mid tier or higher,
warns that the edit-after-purchase window is time-limited by tier (so finalize before it closes or buy up),
and flags that third-party prices conflict — quotes a range and points to turbologo.com/pricing.
Result: The founder buys the tier that actually gives vector, knows the free-preview/watermark boundary, and isn't surprised by the edit window.
Example 2: "Can I use the Turbologo API to auto-generate logos?" (developer/automation)
User says: "How do I use the Turbologo API to auto-generate logos for 50 client brands from a script?"
Skill does: States plainly that Turbologo has no public API — it's entirely a UI tool with no
REST endpoints, webhooks, Zapier/Make, or MCP — so logo generation cannot be scripted; clarifies the
affiliate program is a referral program, not automation; suggests an image-generation service with a
documented API (then vectorize downstream) for programmatic logo generation at volume; does not invent
endpoints.
Result: The user avoids building on a nonexistent API and picks a workable path.
Example 3: "I own the logo — can I trademark it?"
User says: "I bought the Business package on Turbologo — I own the logo, right? Can I trademark it?"
Skill does: Confirms purchase grants a royalty-free commercial license for the finished logo, but
clarifies ownership ≠ a registered trademark — an AI/template logo can be hard to trademark and others can
generate look-alikes — and advises a USPTO/EUIPO clearance + distinctiveness check (and a reverse-image
search) before relying on it as a legal mark.
Result: The user knows what they actually own and to clear the mark before trademarking.
Troubleshooting
"Why does my logo have a watermark — I thought Turbologo was free?"
Symptom: Designing logos was free, but the downloaded/previewed logo has a watermark.
Cause: Designing, previewing, and editing are free, but previews are watermarked and downloading a clean
file is the paid step (one-time, per logo). A watermarked preview is not a deliverable.
Solution: Finalize the logo in the free preview, then buy the smallest tier that covers the need — the
cheapest raster tier only if a web/social PNG is enough, the mid tier if you need vector (SVG/PDF), the
Business tier for a brand kit. Confirm current pricing on turbologo.com (third-party figures conflict).
"I bought a logo and now I can't re-edit it"
Symptom: The user paid for a tier and can no longer re-open/edit the logo.
Cause: Turbologo's edit/access window is time-limited by tier (reported ~1 month on the cheapest tier,
~1 year on the mid tier) — once it lapses, re-editing is closed. This is a plan limit, not a bug.
Solution: Set this expectation before purchase — if the user expects to iterate over time, buy a higher
tier or finalize within the window. Verify the current window durations on turbologo.com.
"Is there an API to generate logos in bulk?"
Symptom: Can't find API docs to script logo creation.
Cause: Turbologo is UI-only — there are no REST endpoints, webhooks, Zapier/Make, or MCP. The
affiliate program is a referral program, not an automation surface.
Solution: Don't build a bulk-generation pipeline on it. For programmatic logo/image generation, use an
image-generation service with a documented API and vectorize downstream. Reserve Turbologo for
interactive, one-off branding.
