The page you were looking for doesn't exist. You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved. After typing something in the box and clicking button.

I like this! Curious if you pre-cache all public tickers or if you are trying to do this real-time using crawlers at time of request?

There should be some sort of message if there's no results. It just clears the input box.

I thought this would be an AI app that would rely on the domain name and/or website crawl to infer an aesthetic, and then create a prompt that would be fed to a generative image transformer

I’m seeing a square favicon/app icon, not really an official company logo. Should there not be an option for the actual logo?

I use something similar that's offered for free: https://clearbit.com/logo https://clearbit.com/logo It would be interesting to know how your solution is different. Feature request: offer high resolution vector format like SVG.

What is the source for the logos? They are sometimes jpg with bad compression artifacts.

  Not sure about stock tickers, but for domains it seems to pull an image from the <head> of a page. Looks like it's trying to find a favicon or the largest application image listed. Seems to skip some things like twitter's meta image tag, so maybe there's a preset list of tags it'll search for?

So it seems that you found a database of PNG images associated with stock tickers, and added favicon scraping, and then put it together with the false promise of "high resolution logos", when I get severely mixed results and a lot of errors when it can't handle a favicon. I mean, it works, good job at that at least, but it doesn't work well and it doesn't seem useful.

  I would assume the favicom of the vast majority of domains online are not registered trademarks. And having a copy of a trademarked image isn't illegal in any country I know?

It doesn't appear to work for google subdomains. For keep.google.com gives a very blurry google logo with the edges clipped off. For mail.google.com the result is a broken image link.

The result for FORD is a broken image: https://logo.synthfinance.com/v/ticker/FORD https://logo.synthfinance.com/v/ticker/FORD
