What Happens When You Apply Machine Learning To Logo Design

The rise of neural networks and generative design have created new opportunities for designers. But what if it went the other way, and robots created a Skynet that kills off human designers (or at least their careers) once and for all? Depending on whether you embrace or fear the robo-future of design, Mark Maker (via Sidebar) could be considered either the beginning of the end, or proof that such fears are overstated, because bots are still pretty crap at design. The system then uses a genetic algorithm--a kind of program that mimics natural selection--to generate an endless succession of logos. When you like a logo, you click a heart, which tells the system to generate more logos like it.
