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.

Examples

Example 1: "LogoMakr let me download for free — why can't I use it on my website?" (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.
