Paid AI Logo Generator: Check the Files Before You Buy

Turn the purchase into a file checklist

List where the mark must work before choosing a tool. For this demo the list is a website header, a 32-pixel icon, a dark-background graphic and a transparent 1024×1024 PNG.

Separate the symbol, a wordmark if needed, and any layout variants. Our demo contains a symbol only; it does not demonstrate a complete brand identity or typography license.

Ask for actual vector geometry

MDN describes SVG as a text-based vector format. For a simple geometric mark, inspect whether the source contains paths and shapes or merely a raster image inside an SVG wrapper.

The fictional brief asks for the same path geometry in dark and ivory variants, without external resources or embedded raster content. That makes a specific delivery promise you can check, instead of relying on the filename alone.

Create a small demonstrable package in Ciyo

Ask the design agent for the source, two transparent PNG variants and a proof at the actual target sizes. Keep the proof separate from the clean files so its example labels cannot accidentally become part of the logo.

This is a code-created geometric example on the live canvas. It tests the deliverable workflow; it is not evidence that every generated logo will have clean geometry or correct typography.

Use code only for a fictional Cedar Studio geometric cedar mark: SVG paths without embedded raster or external resources. Keep identical geometry in dark and ivory SVGs; create transparent 1024×1024 PNGs. Make a 1600×1000 proof at 32 and 128 pixels on light and dark backgrounds; label only the proof ILLUSTRATIVE DEMO. Verify alpha and identical paths, inspect actual scale, put PNGs on canvas, and print both full SVG sources if downloads are unavailable. No paid generator, trademark clearance, exclusivity or CMYK claim.

Inspect transparency and small-size legibility

Put each transparent PNG over both light and dark backgrounds. A white rectangle around the mark is a delivery failure when transparency was required. Then view the small-size proof at its intended scale, not enlarged.

Check thin gaps and narrow points for merging at 32 pixels. If a simplified small-size version is needed, approve it as a separate variant and label it accordingly rather than quietly changing the main mark.

Define what a paid handoff includes

Agree on the approved mark, the source files, export sizes, color variants and revision scope. Ask which files can actually be downloaded. If the canvas offers only a raster export for that source, retain the SVG text separately and test it before treating the package as complete.

A downloadable SVG, a transparency check and a small-size proof establish file properties. They do not establish exclusive ownership, trademark availability, print color accuracy or freedom from third-party rights. Resolve those separately for a real commission.

Use one real placement as the buying test

Before committing to a larger package, place the exported file into the actual website or production workflow. Check the edges, contrast and alignment there. A tool that makes the right preview but omits your required export is a poor fit for that job.

Keep one approved source as the reference for later derivatives. For a new client, agree on who owns the approved copy and who signs off each deliverable, then review the full package before handoff.
