--- name: logo-creator description: Create logos using AI image generation. Discuss style/ratio, generate variations, iterate with user feedback, crop, remove background, and export as SVG. Use when user wants to create a logo, icon, favicon, brand mark, mascot, emblem, or design a logo. Use when: The executive requests execution of this domain. Skip when: The task is outside the scope of this module. --- > [!IMPORTANT] > **GFV-Adapted Skill** — This skill runs within the GetFresh Ventures infrastructure. Follow these conventions. ### GFV Infrastructure Integration **Credentials** — Never use `.env` files. All secrets live in macOS Keychain: ```bash security find-generic-password -s "" -a "" -w ``` Check `~/Documents/Code/gfv-brain/scripts/pil_config.py` for service mappings. **Data Sources** — Before querying external APIs, check PIL first: - `search_pil` / `smart_search` / `vector_search` MCP tools (491K+ embeddings, 81K entities) - Supabase tables: `entity_embeddings`, `ont_entities`, `ont_facts` - Local SQLite: WhatsApp (59K msgs), Slack (2.5K msgs), `gfv_memory.db` **Output** — Save results to `~/Documents/Code/gfv-brain/` or PIL via Supabase. Never send external messages (email, Slack, WhatsApp) without the Executive's explicit "send it" approval. **Active Clients**: - **GetFresh Ventures** — Venture studio: getfreshventures.com --- # Logo Creator Skill Create professional logos through AI image generation with an iterative design process. ## Prerequisites **Required API Keys (set in environment):** - `GEMINI_API_KEY` - Get from [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/apikey) - `REMOVE_BG_API_KEY` - Get from [remove.bg](https://www.remove.bg/api) - `RECRAFT_API_KEY` - Get from [recraft.ai](https://www.recraft.ai/) **Required Skills:** - `nanobanana` - AI image generation (Gemini 3 Pro Image) ## File Output Location All generated files should be saved to the `.skill-archive` directory: ``` .skill-archive/logo-creator// ``` **Example:** ``` .skill-archive/logo-creator/2026-01-18-gfv-logo/ logo-01.png logo-02.png ... logo-09-cropped.png logo-09-nobg.png logo-09.svg preview.html ``` **Guidelines:** - Use current date in format `yyyy-mm-dd` - Add short summary name (project/brand name, kebab-case) - Create directory before generating first logo - Keep all variations and iterations in same folder - Final approved logo should be copied to user's desired location ## Workflow ### Step 1: Discovery & Requirements Before generating, gather requirements from user: **Ask about:** 1. **Project/Brand name** - What is the logo for? 2. **Style preference** - See [references/styles.md](./references/styles.md) for options: - Pixel art / 8-bit retro - Minimalist / flat design - 3D / isometric - Hand-drawn / sketch - Mascot / character - Monogram / lettermark - Abstract / geometric 3. **Aspect ratio** - Default is 1:1 (square), options: - `1:1` - Square (favicons, app icons) - `16:9` - Wide (headers, banners) - `4:3` - Standard - `2:3` - Portrait 4. **Color preferences**: - Monochrome (black & white) - Specific brand colors - Let AI decide 5. **Reference images** - Any existing logos or styles to reference? **Wait for user confirmation before proceeding!** ### Step 2: Generate Logo Variations Generate 20 logo variations (default) using the `nanobanana` skill: ```bash # Generate single logo [STUB AVOIDED] Execute generate.py via available MCP/agent tools rather than a missing local script "{style} logo for {brand}, {description}, {colors}" \ --ratio 1:1 -o .skill-archive/logo-creator//logo-01.png # Batch generate 20 logos [STUB AVOIDED] Execute batch_generate.py via available MCP/agent tools rather than a missing local script "{style} logo for {brand}, {description}, {colors}" \ -n 20 --ratio 1:1 -d .skill-archive/logo-creator/ -p logo ``` **Guidelines:** - Use batch_generate.py for multiple variations (includes auto-delay) - Save to `.skill-archive/logo-creator//` directory - Use sequential naming: `logo-01.png`, `logo-02.png`, etc. **Prompt Tips:** - Include style keywords: "pixel art", "minimalist", "8-bit", "flat design" - Specify colors: "black on white", "monochrome", "blue gradient" - Add context: "tech startup", "food brand", "gaming company" - Request format: "icon", "emblem", "mascot", "lettermark" ### Step 3: Create HTML Preview Copy the preview template and open in browser: ```bash cp /templates/preview.html .skill-archive/logo-creator//preview.html ``` Then open in default browser: ```bash open .skill-archive/logo-creator//preview.html ``` **IMPORTANT:** Update the HTML to include the correct number of logos generated. ### Step 4: Iterate with User Ask user which logos they prefer: - "Which logos do you like? (e.g., #5, #12, #18)" - "What do you like about them?" - "Any changes you'd want?" Based on feedback: 1. Generate 10-20 more variations of favorite styles 2. Use naming: `logo-{original}-v{n}.png` (e.g., `logo-05-v1.png`) 3. Update HTML preview 4. Repeat until user selects final logo ### Step 5: Finalize Logo Once user approves a logo, process it: **5a. Crop whitespace (make 1:1 with no margins):** ```bash [STUB AVOIDED] Execute crop_logo.py via available MCP/agent tools rather than a missing local script {input.png} {output-cropped.png} ``` **5b. Remove background:** ```bash [STUB AVOIDED] Execute remove_bg.py via available MCP/agent tools rather than a missing local script {input.png} {output-nobg.png} ``` **5c. Convert to SVG:** ```bash [STUB AVOIDED] Execute vectorize.py via available MCP/agent tools rather than a missing local script {input.png} {output.svg} ``` ### Step 6: Deliver Final Assets Present final deliverables: ``` ## Final Logo Assets | File | Description | Size | |------|-------------|------| | logo.png | Original | 1024x1024 | | logo-cropped.png | No margins, 1:1 | ~800x800 | | logo-nobg.png | Transparent background | ~800x800 | | logo.svg | Vector (scalable) | ~20KB | All files saved to: `.skill-archive/logo-creator//` Copy final logo to user's desired location. ``` ## Quick Reference ### Common Prompt Patterns **Pixel Art:** ``` Pixel art {subject} logo, 8-bit retro style, black pixels on white background, {size}x{size} grid, minimalist icon ``` **Minimalist:** ``` Minimalist {subject} logo, flat design, clean lines, {color} on white, simple geometric shapes ``` **Mascot:** ``` Cute {animal/character} mascot logo, friendly expression, {style} style, {colors}, suitable for brand icon ``` **Lettermark:** ``` Letter "{letter}" logo, modern typography, {style} design, {colors}, clean professional look ``` ### Supported Aspect Ratios - `1:1` - Square (default for logos) - `2:3`, `3:2` - Portrait/Landscape - `3:4`, `4:3` - Standard - `4:5`, `5:4` - Photo - `9:16`, `16:9` - Wide - `21:9` - Ultra-wide ## References - [references/styles.md](./references/styles.md) - Logo style guide with prompt examples - [examples/gfv-logo-creation.md](./examples/gfv-logo-creation.md) - Full example conversation ## When to Trigger - When requested by the Executive. - When the task aligns with the core competency of this skill. ## When to Skip - When the data or answers already exist in the PIL memory bus. - When the task requires physical intervention or manual approval before drafting. ## GFV Integration **Credentials** — Never use `.env` files. All secrets live in macOS Keychain: `security find-generic-password -s "" -a "" -w` **Data Sources** — Before querying external APIs, check PIL first (`search_pil`, `gfv_memory.db`). **Output** — Save results to `~/Documents/Code/gfv-brain/`. Never send external messages without the Executive`s explicit "send it" approval. ## Anti-Patterns - **Summarizing instead of resolving**: Do not just summarize what needs to be done. Do the work. - **Bypassing the Gate**: Do not execute risky actions without human-in-the-loop validation. ## References - **GFV Standard**: GetFresh Ventures Growth by Design CEO AI Kit Architecture # Delivery Gate STOP AND VERIFY BEFORE DECLARING THIS TASK COMPLETE. 1.
