Thank you for that perspective. The linked work is clearly the work of a skilled professional.

I am intrigued by the use of AI as a form of creativity assist. As someone without any talent for this, the left pictures are useless for me, as I don't know how to take them into something like the pictures on the right. The point of a sketch is to show them to a customer, but if you would show these sketches to me, I wouldn't know which one would turn out great and which one wouldn't.

Given that, do you feel that the generated sketches are useful as a base sketch? I mean, you could probably have used any of the existing NFL teams logos and as inspiration, instead of letting the software remix them for you.

Using existing logos for inspiration (like the NFL ones) is a tightrope because when you get inspired too much you get into legal problems. No one wants a plagiarised or copied logo. Every small borrowed idea, color, composition or a detail is a potential problem. And if you share too much of them - you have an unusable logo. No such problem with AI logos. You can be as much inspired as you want by it, up to a straight copy if you find it good enough.
