LogoNerds Platform Help
LogoNerds (logonerds.com) is a low-cost, done-for-you HUMAN logo design service. You fill out a design
brief, get assigned a project manager, and real in-house designers produce custom logo concepts within a few
business days; you request free revisions and receive the final files — including vector source files
(.ai / .eps). It sits in a middle lane: cheaper/simpler than the human contest marketplaces (/sales-designcrowd,
99designs — where 25–100+ designers compete on your brief), but more custom and more owned than the budget DIY/AI
logo-maker cluster (Hatchful / DesignEvo / Namecheap / LOGO.com / LogoMaker — tools you operate yourself). Design is
downstream of a locked name, which is downstream of a validated idea, so validate demand first
(/sales-idea-validation) and settle the name (/sales-namelix) before you pay to brand it.
The first fact that frames every answer — it's ONE assigned human team at a flat fee, not a DIY tool and not a
contest. Real designers do the work for you (unlike the DIY makers you click through yourself), but only one
team works your brief (unlike a contest, where many designers submit competing directions). vs a contest
it's cheaper, simpler, one point of contact — but less variety (you steer one team via revisions instead of
picking among many concepts); vs the DIY cluster it's custom human work with real source files you own — but not
free and not instant (days, not minutes; no online editor, so every change means waiting on a designer). If
someone wants a free or instant logo, this is the wrong tool — redirect to the DIY cluster.
The second fact — flat one-time per package, and VECTOR SOURCE FILES come in the base package. You pay a single
flat fee per package (no subscription, no stacked posting/percentage fees like a contest); packages differ by
number of concepts, revisions, and turnaround. Deliverables reportedly include Adobe Illustrator (.ai) + .eps
vector plus raster (.tiff/.png/.jpeg, incl. 300 dpi print) and TrueType fonts from the base tier — an unusually
cheap route to a human-made vector logo with source files, where most of the DIY cluster gates vector behind a
paid upgrade. All pricing/package specifics are (live site blocks fetch).

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 LogoNerds?
A) How the service works (brief → assigned designer → concepts → revisions → files)
B) Which package / price — what each tier includes (concepts, revisions, turnaround, formats)
C) What files / formats you receive (vector .ai/.eps vs raster; is it print-ready?)
D) Revisions & the redraw guarantee — how many, and what "satisfaction/redraw" covers
E) Ownership / copyright — what you own, and originality/trademark concerns
F) How it compares — vs a DIY maker (Hatchful/DesignEvo) or vs a contest (DesignCrowd/99designs)
How custom + owned does it need to be? A generic placeholder you want free/now → the DIY cluster is
cheaper/faster; a custom, owned mark with source files without running a contest → LogoNerds; maximum variety
/ many competing directions → a contest.
Skip-ahead: a name (not a design) → /sales-namelix; the validate-before-building method or a branding-tool
comparison across the whole market → /sales-idea-validation; a free/instant DIY logo → /sales-hatchful (free
PNG) or /sales-namecheap-logo-maker (free SVG); a many-designer contest → /sales-designcrowd — route in Step 2.
Step 2 — Route or answer directly
If the user's question is about…
Route to

/sales-canva {question}
When routing, give the exact command: "This is a {domain} question — run: /sales-namelix {original question}"
Otherwise, answer LogoNerds-specific questions using Step 3.
Step 3 — LogoNerds reference
Read references/platform-guide.md for the full reference — the brief → assigned designer → concepts →
revisions → files workflow and every module's automation tag; the package/pricing anatomy (concepts, revisions,
turnaround, formats) and how the scratch-redraw guarantee works; the deliverables (vector .ai/.eps vs raster,
print-readiness) and ownership/originality caveats; the middle-lane positioning (vs the DIY cluster and vs
contests); and the no-public-API reality (and what the affiliate program actually is).
Answer using only the relevant section — don't dump the full reference.
Step 4 — Actionable guidance
Lead with the model: one assigned human team at a flat fee — not a DIY tool, not a contest. Real designers do
the work for you, but one team handles your brief and you steer it via free revisions (you don't pick
among many competing concepts). The upside is custom work + source files you own at a low flat price; the cost is
days, not minutes, and no online editor — every change waits on a designer. If they wanted free or instant,
redirect to the DIY cluster (/sales-hatchful, /sales-namecheap-logo-maker).
Quote the price as a flat one-time per-package fee, and flag it best-effort. There's no subscription and
no stacked posting/percentage fees (unlike a contest); packages differ by concepts, revisions, and
turnaround. Flag every figure as best-effort → confirm at logonerds.com (live site blocks automated fetch, so
exact prices/tier names may have moved).
On files: confirm it delivers vector source files in the base package, but have them verify formats on-site.
Deliverables reportedly include Adobe Illustrator (.ai) + .eps vector plus raster (.tiff/.png/.jpeg, incl.
300 dpi print) and TrueType fonts — a cheap route to a human-made vector logo with source files, where most DIY
makers gate vector behind an upgrade. State it best-effort and have them confirm the exact format list on-site.
Explain revisions + the redraw guarantee honestly — and note the caveat. Packages include a stated number of
free revisions (more on higher tiers) and a scratch/redraw guarantee if you're not satisfied — but one
reviewer questioned whether "unlimited revisions" is honored in practice. Tell users to get the brief and required
changes right early, keep it in writing, and treat "unlimited" as best-effort (there's no self-serve editor).
The custom human work helps originality — but ownership terms and trademark are still on you. One designer
producing custom art carries less template-clash risk than a shared-template DIY maker, but the public
copyright/ownership terms aren't clearly documented (verify on-site what rights transfer) and buying a logo ≠ a
registered trademark → before relying on the mark, run a reverse-image search on the delivered design + a
USPTO/EUIPO clearance + distinctiveness check, and grab the domain + handles.
There is NO public API — don't plan a pipeline around it. It's a human-in-the-loop service driven by a UI
order form / brief with no REST endpoints, no webhooks, no Zapier/Make, no MCP. The affiliate program
(Awin-managed) is a partner/referral program, not an automation API — don't invent endpoints. For volume
generation, use an image-generation API.

Examples
Example 1: "Is LogoNerds a logo maker? Why does it cost money when Hatchful is free?" (model / positioning)
User says: "I found LogoNerds — is it like Canva or Hatchful? Why pay when other logo tools are free?"
Skill does: Explains LogoNerds is a done-for-you human service, not a DIY tool — real designers turn your
brief into custom concepts over a few days, steered via free revisions, with no online editor. It's one
assigned team at a flat fee (cheaper/simpler than a contest, but less variety than 25–100+ competing designers). The
paid part buys custom human work + source files you own; if they want free/instant, points to
/sales-hatchful or /sales-namecheap-logo-maker. Flags prices best-effort → logonerds.com.
Result: The user understands the middle-lane model and picks LogoNerds or a free DIY tool deliberately.
Example 2: "Do I get a vector file I can use for print, and do I own the logo?" (files / ownership / originality)
User says: "If I buy a LogoNerds package, do I get a vector logo for signage, and is it legally mine?"
Skill does: Says deliverables reportedly include vector source files (.ai/.eps) plus print-ready raster
(300 dpi) even in the base package — a cheap route to a human-made vector (best-effort → confirm the format list
on-site). On ownership: custom human work lowers template-clash risk, but the public ownership terms aren't
clearly documented (verify what rights transfer on logonerds.com) and a logo ≠ a registered trademark — so run a
reverse-image search on the delivered design + a USPTO/EUIPO clearance before relying on the mark.
Result: The user confirms vector/print-readiness and plans proper originality + trademark checks.
Example 3: "Is there a LogoNerds API so I can order logos from my app?" (developer/automation)
User says: "Can I automate LogoNerds — an API to submit briefs and pull finished logos programmatically?"
Skill does: States LogoNerds has no public API — a human-in-the-loop service driven by a UI order
form/brief with no documented REST endpoints, webhooks, Zapier/Make, or MCP, so orders cannot be scripted;
clarifies the affiliate program is a partner/referral program, not automation, and doesn't invent endpoints.
For programmatic generation at volume, suggests an image-generation service with a documented API.
Result: The user avoids building on a nonexistent API and picks a workable path.
Troubleshooting
"I expected to design the logo myself but there's no editor"
Symptom: You went to LogoNerds expecting a Canva/Hatchful-style editor and there's only a brief/order form.
Cause: LogoNerds is a done-for-you service, not a DIY tool — designers create the logo for you, and there
is no self-serve online editor; you steer the result through the brief and free revisions.
Solution: Write a specific brief (audience, style references, colors, what to avoid) up front, since every
change means waiting on a designer. If you actually want to click-and-drag it yourself, use a DIY maker
(/sales-hatchful, /sales-namecheap-logo-maker, /sales-designevo).
"How many revisions do I really get, and what if I hate all the concepts?"
Symptom: You're unsure whether "free revisions" / "unlimited revisions" and the guarantee will actually cover you.
Cause: Packages include a stated number of free revisions (more on higher tiers) and a scratch/redraw
guarantee if you're unsatisfied — but one reviewer questioned whether "unlimited" is honored in practice, and
there's no editor to self-serve changes.
Solution: Treat "unlimited" as best-effort; nail the brief and required changes early, keep requests in
writing, and confirm the current revision/redraw terms for your package on logonerds.com before ordering.
"Is the logo legally mine, and could the designer have copied it?"
Symptom: You want to be sure you own the delivered logo and that it's original.
Cause: A single designer producing custom art carries less template-clash risk than a shared-template DIY
maker, but the public copyright/ownership terms aren't clearly documented and buying a logo ≠ a registered
trademark; human designers can still trace/copy.
Solution: Verify on logonerds.com exactly what rights transfer, then before relying on the mark run a
reverse-image search on the delivered design + a USPTO/EUIPO clearance + distinctiveness check, and grab the
domain + social handles.
