As someone who’s spent years designing logos for the top brands, I know the value of precision — and I know the pain of repetition.

One thing that always slowed me down was building logo grids manually.

Every time I opened Illustrator, I found myself drawing the same circles, duplicating the same lines, and nudging anchor points just to create a structure that should have taken seconds.

Eventually, I got tired of wasting hours — so I built a better way.

Logo Grid Generator™ Generating Gridlines

Have you ever wondered how much time professional logo designers spend creating grids for their logos? As it turns out, the answer might surprise you.

Logo grids are a fundamental part of the logo design process, ensuring precision, balance, and consistency.

Before the advent of Logo Grid Generator™ , designers would have to invest a significant amount of time into this crucial step.

The Hidden Time Drain in Logo Design

I ran a survey recently asking 56 designers:

How long do you spend building your logo grid manually?

The average answer: 32 minutes per logo.

Think about that.

If you’re designing one logo a day, 5 days a week, you’re spending:

  • 2.67 hours per week
  • 10.67 hours every month
  • Over 5 full days a year just building grids

And that doesn’t even account for the time lost context switching or tweaking inconsistencies.

Why It Matters (Beyond Just Speed)

Grids aren’t just for setup — they’re how we communicate structure, strategy, and polish.

They help us:

  • Align our logos perfectly
  • Create systems that scale
  • And just as importantly, present our work professionally


When a client sees a well-structured grid behind a logo, they don’t just see a shape — they see intention. Logic. Craft.

But none of that should take 30+ minutes per logo design alone.

I built the first Logo Grid Generator™

That’s why I built Logo Grid Generator™ — a smart extension for Adobe Illustrator that lets you generate flawless logo grids in instantly.

Yes, really.

Click. Generate. Done.

No more guesswork, no more dragging shapes.

Just clean, mathematically precise grids — ready to design on or present to your client.
