Most maker projects start with the fun part — the build. The PCB design, the code, the 3D-printed enclosure. But when it comes time to share it, demo it, or even sell it… suddenly the question of branding creeps in.
Do you design a logo yourself?
Do you grab a template and hope for the best?
Or do you skip it until the project feels “real”?
I’ve noticed a lot of amazing maker projects get overlooked not because of the tech, but because the visuals look inconsistent — one logo on the repo, another on the docs, a totally different style on the landing page.
Curious how this community handles it:
Do you care about consistent branding, or is that overkill for hobby projects?
If you do, what tools or approaches do you use?
I’ve been testing some AI tools (like Brandiseer) that generate on-brand visuals to keep everything consistent without needing a designer. For small teams or solo builders, that feels like a game-changer.
But I’d love to hear how you all think about this — does branding matter in the maker world, or is it just a distraction from building cool stuff?
