Why partners
Marqio checks names against the trademark registers — that is the craft here. Logo design is a different craft, and specialised platforms do it better: more styles, more iterations, more formats. Marqio recommends three of them and stays what it is: research with evidence.
The three partners
- Kittl. AI design platform. Logo, merch and social assets in one editor — templates plus AI tools, no design background needed. Design it yourself · subscription, free tier. For those who want to design themselves and need more than a logo. www.kittl.com →
- Looka. Logo maker with brand kit. Name and style preferences produce logo variants plus derived assets (business card, social, web). Generator · one-time purchase or subscription. For a quick, usable logo with a brand kit. looka.com →
- 99designs. Real designers via contest or direct hire. Brief in, multiple drafts back, feedback rounds included. Design contest · fixed-price packages. For human design work and guidance. 99designs.de →
What a good logo brief contains
- The final name, exactly as checked against the registers — including upper/lower case.
- One sentence on what the company does and for whom — the designer designs the business, not the word.
- Two or three reference brands for the feel — and one explicit no-go.
- The main use case: website header, packaging, app icon. The primary surface decides the form.
Disclosure
The partner links are recommendations. Marqio can receive an affiliate commission for referred purchases; it never affects the partner price. Existing Marqio files keep their generated logos — the in-house logo module has been discontinued.
