# Vibrant AI-Created Designs The AI System Dubbed 'Nikolay Ironov' Fooled Clients for A Year By Grace Mahas | Published 2020-07-20 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nikolay-ironov References: [fastcompany](https://www.fastcompany.com/90528748/clients-loved-this-designers-work-turns-out-he-was-an-ai?partner) & [artlebedev.ru](https://www.artlebedev.ru/nikolay-ironov/) Nikolay Ironov claimed to be a Russian designer who excelled at creating [quirky, vibrant logos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/createlogo) for influencers, restaurants, apps, new products, and more, however, the design firm recently unveiled that Ironoy was not actually a person, but rather an [artificial intelligence system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fika-design) created by the firm. According to the firm, when clients were informed of the "artist's" true, robotic identity, they were amused rather than upset. The Nikolay Ironoy system was taught how to create [realistic vector images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/createmybanner) from scratch that were undetectable from human-made designs. Based on the information a human designer entered about the company or product, and based on the text entered, the AI system will pick out various keywords to visualize. A human designer from the firm will decide which design to show the client from the various branding options created by the system.
