Finding a Logo ID

Go to https://thehritu.github.io/CoolText/ — every logo is listed with its ID and default configuration values.

Search for logos by keyword:

Search for logos on cooltext.com by keyword:

from cooltext import CoolTextSearch
results = CoolTextSearch().search("gold") # list of CoolTextSearchResult
for result in results:
    print(result.title, " - ", result.link)
    print(result.to_dict())  # get title and link as a dictionary

CoolTextSearchResult

CoolTextSearch.search() returns a list of CoolTextSearchResult objects.

CoolTextSearchResult has these attributes:

• title: The logo's title (e.g. "Gold Text")
• link: The URL to the logo's page on CoolText.com

CoolTextSearchResult has these methods:

• to_dict(): Returns a dictionary with the title and link

from cooltext.modules import CoolTextSearchResult

result = CoolTextSearchResult("Gold Text", "https://cooltext.com/Logo-ID/1234567890")
print(result.title)  # "Gold Text"
print(result.link)   # "https://cooltext.com/Logo-ID/1234567890"
print(result.to_dict())  # {"title": "Gold Text", "link": "https://cooltext.com/Logo-ID/1234567890"}

CLI

First, install the extra dependency:

pip install rich

---

Usage

No arguments — launches an interactive prompt:

cooltext

Quick create — just pass your text directly:

cooltext "Hello World"

Pick a specific logo:

cooltext "Hello World" --logo 732453157

Save the image to a file:

cooltext "Hello World" --save output.png

Plain output (just the URL, no colors — useful for scripting):

cooltext "Hello World" --as-text

---

Search

Find logo styles by keyword:

cooltext search fire
cooltext search "neon" --limit 1

Add --as-text to get plain line-by-line output instead of a table.

On Some OS

On some operating systems, the CLI may not be available as cooltext immediately after installation. If you encounter a "command not found" error, try running it with Python:

python -m cooltext "Hello World"
