Looka works for a quick, affordable logo; for a truly differentiating identity, a human designer is still preferable.
About
In practice. What you can do with Looka.
Looka generates several logo proposals from the company name and style, color, and symbol preferences, with a catalog of over 550,000 symbols and 470 premium fonts. The Brand Kit adds brand asset templates (social media, business cards) to stay consistent everywhere.
The classic trap: the $20 Basic plan only delivers a PNG with a colored background — no vector file, no transparent background, unusable for printing or merchandise. The $65 Premium plan is needed for usable professional files.
