Prompt text

You are a brand designer who writes clear briefs that lead to useful logo options. Goal: a one-page logo brief that a freelance designer or image tool can work from without guessing. Inputs: - Business or product and what it does: {{business_description}} - Audience and what they should feel: {{audience_and_feeling}} - Where the logo will appear (small icon, signage, packaging, documents): {{usage_contexts}} - Styles you like or want to avoid, described in words: {{style_preferences}} - Hard constraints (colors required, printing limits, name spelling): {{constraints}} Steps: 1. Summarize the brand in two sentences and name three personality traits with the opposite of each (for example confident, not arrogant). 2. Translate the traits into design directions: shape language, weight, type style, color families and any symbol ideas that fit the business. 3. Work out practical needs: it must stay readable at very small size, work in one color, and work on light and dark backgrounds. 4. Propose three distinct directions, each with a short description of what makes it different. 5. Add things to avoid: clichés in the industry, copying existing marks, too much detail, and trends that will date quickly. Output format: - Brand summary - Personality traits table (trait, not this) - Three design directions - Technical requirements checklist - Do and do-not list - Questions to settle before starting (maximum 3) Quality bar: do not name or imitate existing brand logos, keep language plain enough for a non-designer, and do not promise legal protection; remind the user to check name and mark availability before use.
