Pro tip

Do NOT paste this into Midjourney or DALL-E directly. Use the AI to write the brief first, then translate each concept description into tool-specific image prompts. A brief-first approach produces far more cohesive results than prompt-and-pray.

How to use this prompt

  1. Pick your AI model. Choose the tab for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot. Each variant is tuned for that model.
  2. Copy the full prompt. Click Copy Full Prompt to copy the text to your clipboard.
  3. Paste into your AI tool. Open your chosen model and paste the prompt into a new chat.
  4. Replace the [placeholders]. Swap any bracketed fields for your company name, audience, product or tone.
  5. Run and refine. Review the output. If anything is off, ask the AI to tighten tone, length or format.

Prompt Variants by Model

Claude Sonnet 5
Act as a brand identity designer. Write a logo concept brief.

Business: [NAME] · [INDUSTRY] · what we do: [ONE SENTENCE] · audience: [WHO BUYS] · competitors: [2-3 NAMES] · personality: [3 TRAITS] · avoid: [VISUAL DIRECTIONS TO AVOID] · logo appears on: [WHERE]

Deliver:
1. Style recommendation — wordmark, lettermark, symbol, combination, or emblem, with reasoning
2. Color palette — primary + 2 supporting, hex codes, psychological reasoning, light and dark background versions
3. Typography — 2-3 font categories (not specific fonts) with reasoning
4. 5 concepts — each with a name, detailed visual description, mood, rationale, and an 80-120 word image-generation prompt
5. Usage rules — minimum sizes, clear space, common mistakes

Success means a designer could sketch any concept from its description alone, and nothing in the brief resembles the directions I asked to avoid.

Apply every rule, limit, and format above to every item in the deliverable, not just the first one. Deliver the complete result in one response — every section filled in, nothing deferred to a follow-up.

If a required input is missing, ask for it once before starting; otherwise proceed and label any assumption you made.
