I Built the First Logo Grid Generator - An Adobe Illustrator Extension

‍

After nearly 9 years designing logos for global brands, I kept running into the same problem:

‍

Logo grids took way too long to build.

‍

Even at the highest level of logo design, I’d spend 30 to 60 minutes manually crafting the perfect grid — creating gridlines, recreating anchors and handles just align my logos and include in my presentations.

‍

It was essential for precision. But it was a drain on time, energy, and creative momentum.

‍

So I built a solution:

‍

Logo Grid Generator™— the first Adobe Illustrator extension designed to automate logo grid creation with precision and speed.

‍

‍

‍

What are Logo Grids?

‍

Logo grids are geometric frameworks used by logo designers to build structured, balanced, and scalable logos.

‍

They help ensure consistency in proportions, spacing, and alignment — making the final logo feel intentional and well-crafted.

‍

Professional identity designers use logo grids not only for internal precision but also to demonstrate strategy and structure in client presentations.

‍

A well-constructed logo grid reinforces clarity, symmetry, and brand trust.

‍

‍

Why Logo Grids Are Important

‍

Grids bring structure, balance, and consistency to logo design.

‍

They’re how we ensure that a logo isn’t just visually appealing — it’s mathematically sound, scalable, and timeless.

‍

But traditionally, building those grids manually meant:

• Painstaking anchor point placement
• Endless tweaks to outlines and handles
• Constant second-guessing for alignment

For years, this slow, manual process was just accepted as part of the craft.

‍

Until now.

‍

Accuracy You Can Trust

‍

One of the biggest problems with manual grid building?

‍

Human error.

‍

Misaligned lines. Uneven circles. Imperfect spacing. These flaws are hard to spot — until you’re presenting to a client or zooming in on final exports.

‍

With lgg, every grid is precise by design.

‍

Errors can easily be identified with the use of the Gridline feature

‍

‍

‍

Clients notice when a designer shows work that’s clearly structured.

‍

How It Changed My Process as a Freelancer

‍

When I was freelancing full-time, I quickly realised how valuable time really is.

‍

There were days I’d spend over half an hour building a grid before even starting the actual logo concept.

‍

That might seem small, but across multiple projects, it added up — and it drained creative energy I could’ve used where it mattered more.

‍

Logo Grid Generator™ didn’t just save me time — it gave me space.

‍

Space to think clearer.

‍

To refine ideas.

‍

To spend more time on design decisions instead of setup.

‍

As freelancers, we don’t get the luxury of wasting time — and LGG has become a core part of how I work more efficiently without cutting corners.

‍

professional and personal lives, enjoying more quality time outside of work while still growing their freelance businesses.
