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 23 models for the same bicycle shop mark and judged them as a designer would: could you trace this. 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.

  1. 1.GPT Image 2.5 Flare a chain-and-wheel mark with a bold, correct wordmark.
  2. 2.Nano Banana Pro a clean circular mark, flat and traceable.
  3. 3.GPT Image 2 a wheel mark with strong type from the older OpenAI model.
  4. 4.Seedream 4.5 a bold gear-and-chain mark with heavy type.

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?

These models return raster images. Recraft's SVG mode is the exception on the roster, and a vector tracer turns a generated mark into editable paths.
