Key Features

Tips & Tricks

TIP

Be brutally honest in the style quiz. I tested vague vs. specific answers; specificity yields dramatically better logo concepts.

TIP

Don't buy immediately. Use the free previews to test your favorite logos on social mockups and see what resonates with others.

TIP

If you subscribe to the Brand Kit, use the unlimited revisions to create multiple logo lockups (horizontal, icon-only, etc.) for different uses.

TIP

Export the brand style guide PDF immediately and share it with anyone who creates content for your business to ensure consistency.

TIP

For business cards, use the 'Bleed Area' preview to ensure no critical design elements get cut off during professional printing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I own the logo I create on Looka?+
Yes, but only after purchase. The free download includes a Looka watermark. With any paid package, you receive full commercial rights and copyright ownership for the final design you export.
Can I edit my logo after I buy it?+
Only if you have the active Brand Kit subscription ($96/year). The one-time purchase packages give you the final files but no further editing access on the platform. Download all file formats immediately.
Is a Looka logo good enough for trademarking?+
Maybe, but it's risky. Because Looka's AI uses a shared asset library, your logo may not be sufficiently unique. I strongly recommend a thorough trademark search and legal consultation before filing.
What's the real catch with the free plan?+
The free logo is low-resolution and has a large Looka watermark on it. It's only suitable for internal mockups. You cannot use it for any public-facing business purpose.
How does Looka compare to hiring a human designer?+
Looka is faster (minutes vs. weeks) and far cheaper (under $100 vs. $500+). However, a human designer provides strategic insight, unique artistry, and unlimited customization that AI cannot match. Use Looka for MVP branding; hire a pro for long-term equity.
