The software used was Topaz Labs Sharpen AI. How they define "AI" I can't say for certain, but they're apparently using models so I'm assuming there's some kind of machine learning involved. Their software does a really good job on photos and videos well beyond what a standard sharpen filter does. The upscaling features are also pretty awesome. (no I don't work for them)
Jeremy Howard describes this as "Decrappification"[1]. This is one of the easiest deep learning models to train, in my opinion, as you can generate your own dataset easily. You just get good pictures for the target, programmatically make changes that make the image "crappy" for your source, and train until your network can convert from crappy to good. Then you pass it something it has never seen, and whabam, your picture is sharper than before.
This still doesn’t work well as a logo IMO, no amount the sharpening. It probably needs to get redrawn with a proper vector editor, the lines cleaned up and colors simplified
It’s a good first draft and something to give to a designer, but can’t stand by it’s own as a serious app logo
