Which AI image model makes the best logo
A logo asks for a flat mark, one colour, no gradients, and a wordmark spelled right. We asked 36 models for the same bicycle shop mark and judged them as a designer would: is the mark usable, and is it already vector or would it need tracing. The grid includes the September 18 additions; each model page dates its own run.

What the side-by-side shows
GPT Image 2.5 Flare's chain-and-wheel mark with a bold wordmark is the one most designers would keep. Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image 2 and Seedream 4.5 are all strong flat marks; Grok Imagine 2.0 and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst are clean too. Nano Banana 2 and 2 Lite added a 'BICYCLE REPAIR SHOP' tagline nobody asked for. Ideogram 4.0's mark is tiny with thin type, Seedream 5.0 Pro drew a chain link with no bicycle, and Recraft V4.1 went so minimal the mark is a single stroke. Qwen-Image's flat chain-and-wheel mark is usable; HiDream-I1 added a 'REPAIR SHOP' line like the Nano Banana 2 tiers. Of the 22 October additions, Muse Image and MOSS-Image each merged a chain and a spoked wheel into one mark with no tagline, and Bria FIBO 2.0 is close; Krea 3 added 'BICYCLE REPAIR & SERVICE', and Seedream 5.0 Flash drew a mark that is neither chain nor spoke. Ideogram Vector supplies a native SVG with a correct Spoke & Chain wordmark and a combined chain-and-spoke icon, without a tagline; its lettering is outlined.

Frequently asked questions
Which AI logo generator is best?
On a flat single-colour brief, GPT Image 2.5 Flare, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image 2 and Seedream 4.5 produced marks worth tracing. Watch for added taglines: both Nano Banana 2 tiers invented one.
Can AI make a vector logo?
Yes. Our Ideogram Vector sample is a native SVG with 37 paths, a correct wordmark and no embedded raster image. Its lettering is outlined rather than live text. Most other samples here are raster images that need tracing; Recraft also offers a separate SVG mode.
