These are a dime a dozen, and they all suffer from the same misunderstanding. Putting colour on pre-made generic icons does not a logo make.

You cannot simply grab an icon from a pack and have it registered as a logo or expect it to properly serve its design and business goal of being a unique identifier for your brand.

    I am sorry, just trying to get some critics to improve myself. First time doing this type of product. No intentions to scam anyone, completely free website

      Scamming wasn’t implied at all, you made a huge leap. The point is rather that this doesn’t create logos, which are something specific and well defined. There is nothing wrong with making a tool to list some icons and give them colour, but they’re not logos.

      You have icons in there for religious symbols, well-recognised indicators like RSS and network signal, currencies, and more. None of those would be admissible as a logo, and they wouldn’t be remotely good at their job.

      No need to apologize, some people are just grumpy assholes.
