How Unique Is Your Logo? Let This AI Analyze It

Can an AI judge design? The online deep learning tool Logo Rank aims to do just that. Using a special algorithm, Logo Rank scores your logo on three main criteria:
  1. Uniqueness
  2. Legibility
  3. Color/contrast
You can test the site with a random logo (just keep hitting that random button to see more examples) or you can upload your own logo and let the algorithm do its magic. (To get the most out of the site, logos should be in a square format, otherwise part of the logo will be cropped out.)
It goes without saying that this tool, even though useful for getting a sense of where your logo might be lacking, is ultimately just an algorithm.
Some of the world’s most recognizable logos have gotten low scores for uniqueness. For example, despite the Apple logo getting a low score, you still know exactly what it represents every time you see it. Use this tool as a guideline and nothing more.
As the creators say: “Ultimately, these are simple rules of thumb — there are many well-designed brands that don’t adhere to these standards. Knowing when to depart from the norm comes down to human judgement, which is still beyond current AI.”
So why use Logo Rank?
The real merit is being able to compare your logo to a massive database of over 1 million icons and getting feedback on how unique it is. If your logo designer relied on stock icons, for example, then you’ll know right away thanks to Logo Rank.
As a general rule of thumb, the less unique your logo, the less it’ll stand out in people’s minds.

What do you think of Logo Rank? Is it worth adding to your branding arsenal or do you think an AI simply can’t be a judge of good design. Let us know in the comments.

5 iPhone X Alternatives With Edge-to-Edge Displays | Android

Smartphone displays that almost cover its front are called edge-to-edge displays. The concept has been around for the past few years, but was validated again with the  iPhone X . Apple’s newest smartphone bears a big 5.8-inch display when measured diagonally, fit into a body only slightly larger than 4.7-inch iPhones. That’s the biggest benefit of an edge-to-edge display: you can accommodate a huge viewing area without making the phone too unwieldy. Apple wants to charge you $999 for this pleasure, further pushing the price boundaries of smartphones. But here’s the thing: if edge-to-edge is what you want, there are several Android phones already on sale that do more or less the same thing.

Meltdown and Spectre: what you need to know

Overview If you’ve been keeping up with computer news over the last few days, you might have heard about Meltdown and Spectre, and you might be wondering what they are and what they can do. Basically, Meltdown and Spectre are the names for multiple new vulnerabilities discovered and reported for numerous processors. Meltdown is a vulnerability for Intel processors while Spectre can be used to attack nearly all processor types. The potential danger of an attack using these vulnerabilities includes being able to read “secured” memory belonging to a process. This can do things like reveal personally identifiable information, banking information, and of course usernames and passwords. For Meltdown, an actual malicious process needs to be running on the system to interact, while Spectre can be launched from the browser using a script. Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, and other vendors have been releasing patches all day to help protect users from this vulnerability. Some of th...
