Looka Platform Help
Looka (looka.com, formerly Logojoy) is an AI logo maker + full Brand Kit platform and the
most-named peer across the budget logo cluster — nearly every sibling (/sales-logoai, /sales-brandmark,
/sales-logomaster, /sales-mojomox, /sales-logology) positions against it. The flow is the cluster staple:
enter a business name + industry, pick colors/styles, and Looka generates ~40 AI logo concepts in under a
minute; you customize icons/fonts/colors/layout in an editor (with live mockups on business cards, storefronts,
packaging) and pay only to download. It's the branding/logo step for consumer brands, small businesses,
solo founders, and budget-conscious entrepreneurs who've locked a name. Two facts frame every answer and set it
apart from the pack:
(1) TWO PRICING MODELS UNDER ONE ROOF — one-time logo packages AND an annual Brand Kit subscription. The
logo packages are ONE-TIME (Basic ~$20, Premium ~$65 — buy once, own the files), but the Brand Kit
($96/yr) and Brand Kit + Web ($129/yr) are ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS that add unlimited logo edits and 300+
branded asset templates (business cards, social kit, email signatures, letterhead, brand guidelines) — the Web
tier adds a basic website builder. This mixed model is the cluster's structural oddity: cancel the
subscription and you lose the ongoing editing + template access (you keep any logo files you already
downloaded, and their commercial license). It is UI-only — NO public API (see Step 4).
(2) THE $20 BASIC IS A TRAP — VECTOR + TRANSPARENCY are the PAID upgrade.Basic (~$20) delivers a
single 1000×1000 PNG with a colored background — no transparency, no vector files — effectively not
production-usable. Premium (~$65) is the first tier with a transparent PNG + SVG + EPS + PDF, all color
variants, and full commercial ownership — the real minimum viable purchase. For a free vector SVG use
/sales-namecheap-logo-maker; for a free PNG use /sales-hatchful.
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 Looka?
A) Understand the name → AI concepts → customize → pay-to-download workflow (is this the right tool?)
B) Choose what to buy — one-time logo package (Basic/Premium) vs the annual Brand Kit subscription
C) Understand the download / formats — PNG vs transparent PNG + SVG/EPS/PDF, and which tier unlocks vector
D) Ownership — do I own the mark, is it unique, is it a trademark?
E) Integrate or automate ("API" / bulk generation — see Step 4)
Have you validated the idea and locked the name yet? A logo is downstream — if not, route out (Step 2).
Skip-ahead: a name (not a logo) → /sales-namelix; the validate-before-building method or a branding-tool
comparison → /sales-idea-validation; wider social/marketing creative → /sales-canva — route in Step 2.
Step 2 — Route or answer directly
If the user's question is about…
Route to
A genuinely free logo — free vector SVG or free PNG
/sales-namecheap-logo-maker (SVG) or /sales-hatchful (PNG)
A questionnaire-first / strategy-led logo maker (brand test → matched proposals)
/sales-logology {question}
Other budget AI logo makers to compare against Looka
/sales-logoai {question} or /sales-brandmark {question}
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}
When routing, give the exact command: "This is a {domain} question — run: /sales-namelix {original question}"
Otherwise, answer Looka-specific questions using Step 3.
Step 3 — Looka platform reference
Read references/platform-guide.md for the full reference — the name → ~40 AI concepts → customize →
pay-to-download workflow and every module's automation tag; the mixed pricing model (one-time Basic/Premium
logo packages vs the annual Brand Kit / Brand Kit + Web subscriptions) with exactly what each includes and the
cancel-and-lose-editing consequence; the file-format reality (Basic = one non-transparent PNG; Premium =
transparent PNG + SVG/EPS/PDF — vector + transparency are the paid upgrade, and where to get free vector
instead); the Brand Kit contents (300+ templates + website builder on the Web tier); the
ownership/originality/trademark caveats and the clearance workflow; and the no-public-API reality (why the
"integrations"/partnerships aren't automation, the Looka-vs-Looker name collision, and what to use instead).
Answer using only the relevant section — don't dump the full reference.
Step 4 — Actionable guidance
Flag all pricing/format details as best-effort and tell the user to confirm current terms at looka.com — tier
names, prices, and exact formats move and third-party listings disagree.
Set expectations first: it's instant AI-from-a-name, pay-to-download. Enter a name + industry, Looka
generates ~40 concepts in under a minute, you customize icons/fonts/colors/layout, and pay only to
download. If the user wants a tool that reasons about the brand first (a personality quiz → matched
proposals), route to /sales-logology; if they want a genuinely free logo, route to
/sales-namecheap-logo-maker / /sales-hatchful.
Spell out the MIXED pricing model — one-time logo vs annual Brand Kit subscription. The logo packages are
ONE-TIME: Basic ~$20 (a single non-transparent PNG) and Premium ~$65 (full file set + ownership). The
Brand Kit ~$96/yr and Brand Kit + Web ~$129/yr are ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS adding unlimited logo
edits + 300+ branded templates (and a website builder on the Web tier). Be explicit that the Brand Kit
is recurring — if they cancel, they lose the ongoing editing + templates (they keep already-downloaded logo
files and the commercial license). A buyer who only needs the logo files should buy one-time Premium and skip
the subscription. Don't describe Looka as purely one-time.
The $20 Basic is a trap — Premium (~$65) is the real minimum.Basic (~$20) = one 1000×1000 PNG with a
colored background: no transparency, no vector → not usable for professional print, merch, or a website
header. Premium (~$65) is the first tier with transparent PNG + SVG + EPS + PDF + all color variants +
ownership. Steer anyone who'll actually use their logo to Premium, not Basic.
Vector + transparency are the paid upgrade — the cheap tier has neither. If the user needs a print-scalable
vector or a transparent logo on a budget or for free, that's a mismatch with Basic — route to
/sales-namecheap-logo-maker (free vector SVG); for a free PNG, /sales-hatchful. Don't imply Basic
includes vector or transparency.
Lock the name (and validate the idea) before you brand. A logo is downstream: validate demand first
(/sales-idea-validation), settle the name (/sales-namelix), then brand — never pay for a name you may change.
A commercial license is not a trademark — do your own clearance. Paid Looka plans grant full
commercial ownership of your logo, but the fonts/icons inside AI concepts are typically non-exclusive, and
Looka's AI draws from a constrained visual vocabulary — marks can be non-distinctive and others can
generate look-alikes. Before building a brand on it, run a USPTO/EUIPO search + distinctiveness check in the
right class, a reverse-image search on the mark, and grab the domain + social handles.
There is NO public API — don't plan a pipeline around it. If asked to "use the Looka API" or generate logos
in bulk from a script, be precise: Looka is a UI-only web tool — no REST endpoints, no webhooks, no
Zapier/Make, no MCP. Its "integrations"/partnerships (Weebly, GoDaddy, Printful, PartnerStack) are
channel/business deals, not automation connectors, and an "API" search collides with Looker — Google
Cloud's BI platform, a different product that does have an API. For programmatic/bulk logo/image generation,
use an image-generation service with a documented API and vectorize downstream.
If you discover a gotcha or tip not in references/learnings.md, append it there with today's date.
Gotchas
Best-effort from research (2026-07) — tiers, prices, and formats move; verify at looka.com. Third-party listings
and the homepage have disagreed on exact tier contents.
MIXED pricing model — not purely one-time. Logo packages are one-time (Basic ~$20 / Premium ~$65) but
the Brand Kit ~$96/yr and Brand Kit + Web ~$129/yr are annual subscriptions (unlimited edits + 300+
templates; Web adds a website builder). Cancel → lose the editing + templates (keep downloaded logo files).
The $20 Basic is a trap. It's a single 1000×1000 PNG with a colored background — no transparency, no
vector. Premium (~$65) is the first tier with transparent PNG + SVG + EPS + PDF + ownership — the real
minimum viable purchase.
Vector + transparency are the paid upgrade. For free vector use /sales-namecheap-logo-maker; for a
free PNG use /sales-hatchful.
Formerly Logojoy. Same product, older name — old reviews/links may say "Logojoy."
Looka ≠ Looker. An "API" or "docs" search often surfaces Looker (Google Cloud BI/analytics), a
different product with a real API. Looka the logo maker has no public API.
Icon repetition + weak B2B output. Reviews note a constrained icon library (repeats across categories),
generic professional-services marks, and no blank canvas — every design starts from an AI concept.
A license is not a registered trademark. Fonts/icons are non-exclusive and AI marks can be non-distinctive
→ run USPTO/EUIPO clearance + a reverse-image search before building a brand on it.
There is NO public API, webhooks, Zapier/Make, or MCP. UI-only web tool; generation can't be scripted.

Examples
Example 1: "Is Looka a one-time purchase or a subscription?"
User says: "I just want to buy a logo once — is Looka a one-time price or does it lock me into a monthly plan?"
Skill does: Explains Looka is both: the logo packages are one-time (Basic ~$20 / Premium ~$65 — buy
once, keep the files), but the Brand Kit ($96/yr) and Brand Kit + Web ($129/yr) are annual subscriptions for
unlimited edits + 300+ templates. If they only need the logo files, a one-time Premium is enough and no
subscription is required; the Brand Kit only matters if they want the ongoing template library — and cancelling
loses that access (they keep downloaded logo files).
Result: The user buys the one-time tier that fits and avoids an unwanted recurring charge.
Example 2: "The $20 Looka plan — do I get a vector file I can print big?"
User says: "Looka's $20 plan looks great. Can I use that logo on signage and a transparent version on my site?"
Skill does: Warns that Basic (~$20) is a single 1000×1000 PNG with a colored background — no transparency
and no vector — not suitable for large print or a transparent web logo. Premium (~$65) is the first tier
with a transparent PNG + SVG + EPS + PDF + ownership, so that's the real minimum for their use. Notes a
license ≠ trademark (run clearance), and if they want a vector for free instead, routes to
/sales-namecheap-logo-maker.
Result: The user buys the tier that actually gives usable files instead of the trap $20 plan.
Example 3: "Can I hit the Looka API to generate logos in bulk?" (developer/automation)
User says: "How do I call the Looka API to auto-generate marks for 30 brands from a script?"
Skill does: States Looka has no public API — it's a UI-only web tool with no REST endpoints,
webhooks, Zapier/Make, or MCP — and its "integrations" (Weebly/GoDaddy/Printful) are channel deals, not
automation. Flags that an "API" search likely surfaced Looker (Google Cloud BI), a different product.
Suggests an image-generation service with a documented API for programmatic generation at volume, vectorizing
downstream. Does not invent endpoints.
Result: The user avoids building on a nonexistent API (and a namesake mix-up) and picks a workable path.
Troubleshooting
"I cancelled my Looka Brand Kit and lost my editing / templates — did I lose my logo too?"
Symptom: The user cancels the annual Brand Kit subscription and can no longer edit the logo or access the 300+
templates.
Cause: The Brand Kit ($96/yr) and Brand Kit + Web ($129/yr) are subscriptions — unlimited edits and the
template library are tied to an active subscription; the one-time logo packages (Basic/Premium) are not.
Solution: Any logo files already downloaded (and their commercial license) are kept — those don't expire.
To keep editing/templates, the subscription must stay active; if they only need the final logo files, a one-time
Premium (~$65) purchase avoids recurring billing entirely. Confirm current terms at looka.com.
"I only got a PNG with a colored background — where's my transparent / vector file?"
Symptom: The user bought the cheapest tier and has a non-transparent PNG at one size, no SVG.
Cause: Basic (~$20) is a single 1000×1000 PNG with a colored background — no transparency, no vector.Solution: Upgrade to Premium (~$65) for transparent PNG + SVG + EPS + PDF + all color variants +
ownership, or — if they want vector for free — use /sales-namecheap-logo-maker (free vector SVG). Confirm
the exact formats per tier at looka.com, as listings disagree.
