In January 2014, Squarespace launched a logo design tool called Squarespace Logo, which sparked controversy among professional designers. Critics argued that the tool oversimplified branding and undermined the value of professional design services. Squarespace responded by clarifying that the tool was not intended to replace professional designers but to help small business owners create simple logos, with fees partly supporting designers contributing to The Noun Project. Industry figures like Tina Roth Eisenberg defended the tool, likening it to user-friendly design software and emphasizing its appeal to new entrepreneurs seeking affordable branding solutions.
