And the 5 best logo recognition tools"},"content":{"rendered":"

Artificial Intelligence can be a beautiful thing, especially when it comes to your logo. As machine learning and AI have become more and more prominent and intelligent, software-like logo recognition has grown too. With solid logo recognition software, you can see where your logo is popping up on social media, television or elsewhere, how consumers are responding to or interacting with it, and if there are any nefarious or counterfeit uses of your logo in play.<\/p>\n

What is logo recognition? Logo recognition tools allow you to detect where on the internet your logo appears. Logo recognition is a must-have for any brand with a unique logo. Keep reading to see how it can benefit your company.<\/p>\n

What is logo recognition used for?<\/h2>\n

There are many ways to use logo recognition software, so for simplicity\u2019s sake, we\u2019ve distilled them into three main categories.<\/p>\n

Brand recognition<\/h3>\n

Logo recognition is a great way to figure out how often your brand is appearing online. With today\u2019s sophisticated algorithms, logo recognition software can see how often your brand is being mentioned across social media platforms.<\/p>\n

This sort of software can also show when your brand is being used in the real world. For example, if you have a banner promoting your company at a baseball stadium, logo recognition software can tell how often the logo appears on television when a game is being broadcast. That way, you\u2019ll know if your advertisement is in a prime spot so the viewers at home can see what you\u2019re all about.<\/p>\n

Counterfeit detection\/brand protection<\/h3>\n

The second way that logo recognition is used is for more nefarious situations. Sometimes, with both big brands and new or small businesses, people use logos in counterfeit or illegitimate ways. They could be making bootleg products and ripping off your company\u2019s logo. A well-known fashion company like Supreme often sees its logo used on bootleg products.<\/p>\n

Logo recognition software lets a company find these kinds of products and handle the situation appropriately.<\/p>\n

Sometimes people produce harmful content about a brand online. They could be spreading false information about your company or using your logo with a social media post that has inappropriate content or just doesn\u2019t align with your message. Logo recognition is a great way to root out these situations and take care of them.<\/p>\n

Understanding the user experience<\/h3>\n

How exactly are people reacting to your brand? Online and real-world reviews are one thing, but logo recognition software lets a company see what consumers really think about its product or service by checking social media posts, blog articles and other mentions of a brand.<\/p>\n

This is great for measuring return on investment (ROI), as a company can assess whether its marketing efforts are bearing any fruit. If a company is promoting its product as one thing, and people are seeing it as another, it could be wise to reevaluate the marketing plan.<\/p>\n

The best logo recognition tools<\/h2>\n

Here are some of the best logo recognition tools and image recognition software\u2014and what they\u2019re all about.<\/p>\n

1. Google Image Recognition<\/h3>\n

Google has a free service that lets you search the internet for appearances of your logo. It\u2019s incredibly easy to use and free, but it doesn\u2019t have any of the additional feature\u2014insight and analytics\u2014that would support the needs of a robust company.<\/p>\n

\"99designs<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where Google\u2019s Vision AI<\/a> comes into play. A paid service, Vision AI uses machine learning to help companies understand how their brand is being perceived by users. It can process large batches of images for your type of logo<\/a> and detect unwanted content\u2014all backed by the intelligent machine learning of Google.<\/p>\n

Amazon Rekognition<\/a> is an incredibly comprehensive logo recognition program that can deeply analyze both images and video. The level of insight that this software can return is impressive, letting you run real-time analysis on images and videos or, for larger jobs, upload thousands of images in a batch to be analyzed. The service can recognize faces, detect certain aspects of a photo (rock, bicycle, landscape) and recognize unsafe content.<\/p>\n

3. VISUA (formerly known as LogoGrab)<\/h3>\n\n

IBM<\/a> has some of the best image recognition tools on the market and is a true powerhouse in the game, thanks to the strength of their well-known AI, Watson. Companies can train their own custom model that, with just a few images, can learn a specific brand of a car, for example, and identify that model and estimate repair costs. Watson Studio is a free workspace that IBM offers that lets brands manage their own models. No matter what you\u2019re looking for, it\u2019s hard to go wrong with a legacy brand like IBM.<\/p>\n

Logo recognition is a useful tool in your toolbox<\/h2>\n

There are a lot of different logo recognition software options\u2014more than the ones we listed above. As many of them offer the same services, it\u2019s up to you to find the product that offers exactly what you\u2019re looking for. If you\u2019re serious about your brand\u2019s legitimacy, logo recognition software is a great way to make sure you\u2019re getting the ROI you want. Why wait?<\/p>\n
