This paper describes a logo drawing system applying interactive genetic algorithms in order to reflect user's logos image. One logo is expressed as a chromosome, which has information on its components' sizes, positions, and colors. The system draws logos by repeating the system generation of logos and user's evaluation of them as follows. First the system generates logos in form of chromosomes and presents them to the user. The user evaluates these logos by 5-point scale, based on his/her logos image. Then the system generates the next generation chromosomes reflecting the user's evaluation. The procedures of generation and evaluation are repeated, until the user finally obtains satisfying logos. This paper also performs subjects experiments, in order to confirm the validity of the proposed system. From the experiment results, its problems and solutions are discussed
