miLOGO

Description

miLOGO is a visual logo and graphics editor that runs inside the WordPress admin area.

Build a design from a starter or create one from scratch using text, icons, shapes, drawing tools, colors, gradients, and layer controls. Designs can be exported as PNG or JSON, and PNG exports can be added to the WordPress Media Library.

This is an initial beta release. Please keep backups of important design JSON while the editor continues to mature.

Features

• Visual canvas-based logo editor
• Text with Google Fonts
• Logo Starters
• Icons and graphic elements
• Shapes and drawing tools
• Layer ordering, renaming, and deletion
• Undo and redo
• Canvas size controls
• PNG export
• JSON design export/import
• Save PNG output to the WordPress Media Library

miLOGO Free is fully usable on its own. An optional miLOGO Pro add-on, distributed separately, can provide additional design content and options. Upgrade prompts may be shown contextually inside the miLOGO editor.

External Services

miLOGO uses Google Fonts in the WordPress admin editor.

When the font catalog is requested, the site server requests Google Fonts metadata from fonts.google.com. When a Google Font is previewed or used in a design, the administrator’s browser requests the corresponding stylesheet and font files from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. These requests are necessary to list, preview, and render Google Fonts. miLOGO does not send the contents of your logo design to Google as part of these font requests.

Known Issues

• Icon transformations can sometimes create extra Undo/Redo history entries, so more than one Undo click may be needed to revert a single icon movement. No data loss or editor failure has been observed from this issue.

• PNG exports are currently generated at 2x the selected canvas dimensions to provide higher-resolution output. For example, a 256 x 256 canvas exports as a 512 x 512 PNG. Exact-dimension PNG export is planned for a future beta update.
