--- name: sales-logomakr description: "LogoMakr (logomakr.com, by Sketch.IO) platform help — a budget DIY logo + graphic-design tool in the Hatchful/DesignEvo/Namecheap/LogoMaker/Ucraft cluster, but BROADER: 3M+ graphics, also banners/t-shirts/social icons, and a hybrid of AI generator + editable templates + a blank drag-and-drop canvas. THE FREE TRAP: designing is free and you CAN download free, but the free file is low-res, NON-COMMERCIAL, and must credit LogoMakr — commercial use needs a paid one-time package (Basic = raster PNG/JPG; Pro adds VECTOR SVG/EPS/PDF; Business adds source files + human fixes). One-time, no subscription; icons are shared/non-exclusive so ownership is not a trademark. NAMESAKE TRAP: NOT LogoMaker.com (/sales-logomaker, Deluxe) and NOT Logomakerr.ai (/sales-logomakerr). UI-only, NO public API. Use for LogoMakr free-vs-paid, the non-commercial free gate, getting vector, ownership vs trademark, or if it has an API. Do NOT use to name the idea (/sales-namelix) or compare branding tools (/sales-idea-validation)." argument-hint: "[describe what you need help with in LogoMakr]" license: MIT version: 1.0.0 tags: [sales, branding, pre-launch, platform] --- # LogoMakr Platform Help LogoMakr (**logomakr.com**, built by **Sketch.IO**) is a **budget DIY logo + graphic-design tool**. It's a peer in the **budget logo cluster** (Hatchful / DesignEvo / Namecheap / LogoMaker.com / Ucraft / FreeLogoDesign / LOGO.com) but **broader than a pure logo maker**: it ships **3M+ graphics/icons** and a general design canvas you can also use for **banners, t-shirt designs, social profile icons, and invitations**. Originally a **manual drag-and-drop canvas editor** (assemble a logo yourself from icons + text + shapes, like Ucraft/Mojomox), it's now a **hybrid**: an **AI logo generator** + **editable templates** + the classic **blank canvas**. Design is **downstream of a locked name, which is downstream of a validated idea**, so validate demand first (`/sales-idea-validation`) and settle the name (`/sales-namelix`) before you pay to brand it. **The first fact that frames every answer — the free download is a NON-COMMERCIAL, credited preview, not a deliverable.** Designing and previewing are free, and unlike LogoMaker.com/SmashingLogo you **can** download for free — **but** the free file is **low-resolution**, **cannot be used commercially**, and **must credit LogoMakr wherever it's used**. So a "free LogoMakr logo" is legal only for **non-commercial** use with attribution; **any commercial use** (website, product, signage, marketing) requires a **paid one-time package**. That's a distinct gate: not "no free download" (LogoMaker.com), not "free usable file" (Hatchful PNG / Namecheap incl. SVG) — it's **free but non-commercial + credited**. If someone wants a genuinely free *commercial* logo, redirect to the free-download peers. **The second fact — one-time per package (no subscription), and VECTOR is a tier upgrade.** Paid packages are **one-time buys**, not a subscription. The cheapest tier is **raster only** (PNG/JPG); **vector (SVG/EPS/PDF)** unlocks at the **mid (Pro) tier**, and the top (Business) tier adds **editable source files + a branding kit + a few human design corrections**, bridging DIY and a done-for-you service. **All pricing/tier specifics are best-effort → confirm at logomakr.com** (the pricing and packages pages disagree on exact inclusions/credits, and a legacy per-logo model [~$19 single] has been restructured into Basic/Pro/Business tiers). ## Step 1 — Gather context If `references/learnings.md` exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge. Ask only what you can't infer: 1. **What do you want from LogoMakr?** - A) **How it works** (AI generator vs editable templates vs the manual blank canvas + 3M+ graphics) - B) **Free vs paid** — what the free download actually gives you (and the non-commercial + credit gate) - C) **Which package / price** — what each one-time tier includes (raster vs vector, credits, source files) - D) **What files / formats** you receive (is vector SVG/EPS/PDF included at your tier?) - E) **Ownership / licensing** — commercial rights, the shared-icon catch, and trademark - F) **How it compares** — vs the free-download peers or the pay-to-download peers in the cluster - G) **Automate / integrate** ("API" / bulk — see Step 4) 2. **Free/non-commercial placeholder, or a paid commercial mark?** A throwaway you'll credit and never sell → the free download works; **anything commercial** → you must buy a package (and for **vector**, the Pro tier). Skip-ahead: a *name* (not a design) → `/sales-namelix`; the validate-before-building *method* or a branding-tool comparison across the whole market → `/sales-idea-validation`; a **free commercial** logo → `/sales-namecheap-logo-maker` (free, incl. SVG) or `/sales-hatchful` (free PNG); the wider social/marketing creative at scale → `/sales-canva` — route in Step 2. ## Step 2 — Route or answer directly | If the user's question is about… | Route to | |---|---| | Generating the **business name** itself (not the design) | `/sales-namelix {question}` | | The validate-before-building **method**, or comparing branding/design tools across the market | `/sales-idea-validation {question}` | | A **free commercial** logo that also gives vector SVG | `/sales-namecheap-logo-maker {question}` | | A **free commercial** logo PNG (no attribution needed) | `/sales-hatchful {question}` | | A **cheap one-time AI/template** logo peer | `/sales-designevo {question}` | | A **done-for-you HUMAN** logo (a designer makes it for you) | `/sales-logonerds {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 LogoMakr-specific questions using Step 3. ## Step 3 — LogoMakr reference **Read `references/platform-guide.md`** for the full reference — the **AI-generator / templates / manual-canvas** workflow and every module's automation tag; the **free-vs-paid gate** (low-res + non-commercial + credit) and the **one-time package/pricing anatomy** (raster Basic → vector Pro → source-files + human-fixes Business); the **deliverables** (raster vs vector) and the **shared-icon ownership/trademark** caveats; the **cluster positioning** (vs free-download and pay-to-download peers); the **namesake disambiguation** (LogoMakr vs LogoMaker.com vs Logomakerr.ai); and the **no-public-API** reality (and the correct image-generation-API workaround for volume). Answer using only the relevant section — don't dump the full reference. ## Step 4 — Actionable guidance - **Lead with the free-download gate: it's a NON-COMMERCIAL, credited, low-res preview — not a usable deliverable.** You *can* download free (unlike LogoMaker.com/SmashingLogo), but the free file is **low-resolution**, **cannot be used commercially**, and **must credit LogoMakr**. Any commercial use requires a **paid one-time package**. If they want a **free commercial** logo, redirect to `/sales-namecheap-logo-maker` (free, incl. SVG) or `/sales-hatchful` (free PNG). - **Quote pricing as one-time per package, and flag it best-effort.** Packages are **one-time buys, no subscription**. The cheapest tier is **raster (PNG/JPG) only**; **vector (SVG/EPS/PDF)** unlocks at the **mid (Pro) tier**; the top (Business) tier adds **editable source files + a branding kit + a few human design corrections**. **Flag every figure best-effort → confirm at logomakr.com** — the pricing and packages pages disagree on exact inclusions/credits and the older per-logo model has been restructured. - **If they need vector, tell them Basic won't do it — buy Pro (or higher).** The base tier is raster only; print/ scalable **SVG/EPS/PDF** starts at the mid tier. (For a *free* vector, that's Namecheap, not LogoMakr.) - **Warn on the shared-icon catch: ownership ≠ uniqueness ≠ trademark.** Icons/graphics come from **third-party suppliers** (a Noun-Project-style catalog) and **can't be trademarked or copyrighted** — the same icon is reusable by others, so an icon-based mark **isn't unique**. Paid tiers grant **commercial rights**, but that is **not a registered trademark**. Before relying on the mark: prefer a **text/wordmark** over a stock icon, **run a USPTO/EUIPO clearance + distinctiveness check** and a reverse-image search, and grab the domain + handles. - **Don't confuse the three namesakes.** **LogoMakr** = logomakr.com by **Sketch.IO** (this skill). **LogoMaker.com** = the Deluxe/LogoMix tool (`/sales-logomaker`, **no free download**). **Logomakerr.ai** = the AI brand-kit tool (`/sales-logomakerr`). Any "LogoMakr API" you find via ApiX-Drive/Zapier listings is almost certainly **Logomakerr.ai**, a different product — don't attribute it to LogoMakr. - **There is NO public API — don't plan a pipeline around it.** LogoMakr is **UI-only**: no REST endpoints, no webhooks, no Zapier/Make, no MCP. For programmatic or **bulk** logo/icon generation, use an **image-generation API** and vectorize/brand downstream (see the recipe in `references/platform-guide.md`). 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) — pricing/tier/format terms move and the pricing vs packages pages disagree; verify at logomakr.com before relying on figures.* - **The free download is NON-COMMERCIAL + credited + low-res.** You can download free, but it can't be used commercially and must credit LogoMakr — any commercial use needs a paid package. It's not "no free download," and it's not a free *usable* file either. - **One-time per package, no subscription — but vector is a tier upgrade.** Basic is raster (PNG/JPG) only; vector (SVG/EPS/PDF) starts at the Pro tier; Business adds source files + a branding kit + a few human design fixes. The site's own pricing and packages pages disagree on formats/credits/prices, and a legacy per-logo model (~$19 single) was restructured — flag all figures best-effort → confirm on-site. - **Icons are shared/non-exclusive third-party graphics.** They can't be trademarked/copyrighted and others reuse them, so an icon-based mark isn't unique. Commercial rights ≠ a registered trademark → prefer a wordmark and run a USPTO/EUIPO clearance. - **Namesake trap: LogoMakr ≠ LogoMaker.com ≠ Logomakerr.ai.** Three different products with near-identical names — an "API/integration" result is almost always Logomakerr.ai, not LogoMakr. - **NO public API, webhooks, Zapier/Make, or MCP.** LogoMakr is UI-only. For volume, use an image-generation API and vectorize downstream. ## Related skills - `/sales-namecheap-logo-maker` — A **100% free** logo maker that gives a **free commercial** logo incl. vector SVG — the go-to when LogoMakr's free download's non-commercial + credit gate is a dealbreaker - `/sales-hatchful` — A **free commercial** logo PNG (no attribution) — contrast with LogoMakr's credited, non-commercial free file - `/sales-designevo` — A **cheap one-time AI/template** logo peer (free tier is a credited low-res PNG; vector is a paid upgrade) — the closest pricing-model analog - `/sales-logomaker` — LogoMaker.com (Deluxe/LogoMix), the **near-namesake** with **no free download** — don't confuse the two - `/sales-logomakerr` — Logomakerr.ai, the other **near-namesake** (AI brand-kit tool) — any "LogoMakr API" listing is usually this one - `/sales-logonerds` — A **done-for-you HUMAN** logo service (a designer makes it for you) — contrast a DIY tool with paid human work - `/sales-namelix` — Generate the business name first (design is the hand-off from the name) - `/sales-idea-validation` — The validate-before-building method and the full naming/branding landscape (validate and name before you pay to brand it; also covers ownership-vs-trademark) - `/sales-canva` — Once the logo's done, build the wider marketing/social creative and design system at scale - `/sales-do` — Not sure which skill to use?

(the free gate) **User says**: "I made a logo on LogoMakr and downloaded it free, but now I read I can't use it. What gives?" **Skill does**: Explains LogoMakr's free download is **non-commercial + credited + low-res** — legal only for non-commercial use with a LogoMakr credit, not for a website/product/marketing. Any **commercial** use requires a **paid one-time package** (Basic raster, Pro adds vector, Business adds source files). If they want a genuinely **free commercial** logo instead, points to `/sales-namecheap-logo-maker` (free, incl. SVG) or `/sales-hatchful` (free PNG). Flags pricing best-effort → logomakr.com. **Result**: The user understands the free file isn't usable commercially and picks a paid package or a free-commercial peer deliberately. ### Example 2: "Do I get a vector SVG, and is the logo really mine?" (formats / ownership / trademark) **User says**: "If I pay for LogoMakr, do I get an SVG I can print big, and do I own the logo?" **Skill does**: Says **vector (SVG/EPS/PDF)** is **not** in the cheapest (Basic) tier — it starts at **Pro**, so buy Pro or higher for print/scalable files (best-effort → confirm on-site). On ownership: paid tiers grant **commercial rights**, **but** icons are **shared, non-exclusive third-party graphics** that **can't be trademarked**, so an icon-based mark isn't unique and commercial rights ≠ a **registered trademark** — prefer a **wordmark**, run a **USPTO/EUIPO clearance** + reverse-image check, and secure the domain + handles. **Result**: The user buys the right tier for vector and plans proper originality + trademark checks. ### Example 3: "Is there a LogoMakr API so I can generate logos from a script?" (developer/automation) **User says**: "Can I automate LogoMakr — an API to generate logos in bulk from a spreadsheet?" **Skill does**: States LogoMakr has **no public API** — it's **UI-only** with no REST endpoints, webhooks, Zapier/Make, or MCP, so it can't be scripted. Warns that any "LogoMakr API / integration" result (e.g. via ApiX-Drive) is almost certainly **Logomakerr.ai**, a **different product** — don't attribute it to LogoMakr. For programmatic or **bulk** generation, suggests an **image-generation API**, then vectorizing/branding downstream (recipe in the platform guide). **Result**: The user avoids building on a nonexistent API (and a namesake mix-up) and picks a workable path. ## Troubleshooting ### "I downloaded my logo free but was told I can't use it for my business" **Symptom**: You exported a logo from LogoMakr at no cost, then found it's not usable commercially. **Cause**: LogoMakr's **free download is non-commercial and requires attribution** — the free file is low-res and "credit must be provided wherever the file is used"; **commercial use needs a paid package**. **Solution**: Buy a **one-time package** (Basic for raster, **Pro for vector**, Business for source files + human fixes) to get a high-res, commercially licensed file — or, if you want a **free commercial** logo, use `/sales-namecheap-logo-maker` (free, incl. SVG) or `/sales-hatchful` (free PNG). Flag prices best-effort → logomakr.com. ### "My package doesn't include an SVG / the pricing page and packages page don't match" **Symptom**: You bought a tier expecting vector and only got PNG/JPG, or the two pricing pages show different tiers. **Cause**: **Vector (SVG/EPS/PDF) is a tier upgrade** — the cheapest (Basic) tier is **raster only**; vector starts at **Pro**. And LogoMakr's **pricing and packages pages disagree** on inclusions/credits/prices (a legacy per-logo model was restructured). **Solution**: Confirm the **current** tier that includes vector **on logomakr.com** before buying, and buy **Pro or higher** if you need SVG/EPS/PDF. Treat any figure you saw elsewhere as best-effort. ### "I found a LogoMakr API / Zapier integration — how do I use it?" **Symptom**: A listing (ApiX-Drive, RapidAPI, Zapier) seems to show a LogoMakr API or automation. **Cause**: **LogoMakr (logomakr.com) has no public API** — it's UI-only. The listing is almost certainly for **Logomakerr.ai** (a **different** product) or a generic "logo API," not LogoMakr. **Solution**: Don't build on it as if it were LogoMakr. For programmatic/**bulk** logo generation, use an **image-generation API** and vectorize/brand downstream (see `references/platform-guide.md`). If you actually meant Logomakerr.ai, use `/sales-logomakerr`.
