However, recent advancements in generative algorithms provide models\nthat could offer a possible solution. Logos are multi-modal, have very few\ncategorical properties, and do not have a continuous latent space. Yet,\nconditional generative adversarial networks can be used to generate logos that\ncould help designers in their creative process. We propose LoGAN: an improved\nauxiliary classifier Wasserstein generative adversarial neural network (with\ngradient penalty) that is able to generate logos conditioned on twelve\ndifferent colors. In 768 generated instances (12 classes and 64 logos per\nclass), when looking at the most prominent color, the conditional generation\npart of the model has an overall precision and recall of 0.8 and 0.7\nrespectively. LoGAN's results offer a first glance at how artificial\nintelligence can be used to assist designers in their creative process and open\npromising future directions, such as including more descriptive labels which\nwill provide a more exhaustive and easy-to-use system.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1810.10395v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1810.10395v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"logan-generating-logos-with-a-generative","repo_url":"https://github.com/ajki/LoGAN","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"tf","reach":{"status":"ok"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"descriptive","task_name":"Descriptive"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1810.10395","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
