Logo Design

This skill enables the agent to guide the complete logo design process — from creative brief through final deliverables. The agent produces design specifications covering symbol concepts, color palettes, typography selections, and file format requirements. It applies core design principles (simplicity, scalability, memorability, versatility) to ensure logos work across digital screens, print media, favicons, and social avatars.

Workflow

1. Gather Brand Context: Collect the brand name, industry, target audience, competitors, and personality attributes (e.g., "modern and approachable" vs. "luxurious and exclusive"). Ask about existing brand colors, fonts, or visual assets that must be incorporated. Determine where the logo will primarily appear — website, mobile app, packaging, signage — since this shapes format and scalability requirements.

2. Define the Design Brief: Synthesize the gathered information into a structured design brief that includes brand values, visual direction keywords, color preferences, and mandatory constraints. Specify the logo types needed: icon/symbol mark, wordmark (logotype), combination mark, and favicon/app icon. List required file formats and sizes upfront so deliverables are clear.

3. Generate Concept Directions: Produce 2-3 distinct concept directions, each with a rationale explaining how it reflects the brand. For each direction, describe the symbol or letterform treatment, the color palette (primary, secondary, accent with hex codes), and the recommended typeface pairing. Explain the visual metaphor or design logic behind each concept.

4. Refine the Selected Concept: Once the user selects a direction, iterate on it. Adjust proportions, letter-spacing, icon weight, and color balance. Test the design at multiple sizes — a 16x16 favicon, a 48x48 app icon, a 200px web header, and a large-format print version — to confirm legibility and visual impact at every scale.

5. Produce Final Deliverables: Output the complete file specification: SVG (vector master), PNG at 512x512, 256x256, 128x128, and 64x64, plus a 16x16 and 32x32 ICO favicon. Provide light-background and dark-background versions, a monochrome version, and a minimum-size guideline. Include a one-page brand mark usage guide covering clear space, minimum size, and color placement rules.

6. Document Brand Guidelines: Deliver a concise style reference listing the exact hex/RGB/HSL color values, the typeface names and weights, the logo safe zone (clear space equal to the height of a key letter), and explicit misuse examples (stretching, recoloring outside the palette, placing on busy backgrounds).
