Pick a color and this AI system will craft a logo

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) -- two-part neural networks consisting of generators that produce samples and discriminators that attempt to distinguish between the generated samples and real-world samples -- have been used to discover new drugs, create convincing photos of burgers and butterflies, and generate synthetic scans of brain cancer. And as a new paper published by Maastricht University in the Netherlands reveals, they're not half bad at generating logos, either. In research published on the preprint server Arxiv.org "Designing a logo is a long, complicated, and expensive process for any designer. However, recent advancements in generative algorithms provide models that could offer a possible solution," they wrote.
