Get Claude to write exactly 3 numbered image prompts, one per symbol (rolling pin, wheat stalk, round loaf), plain text, under 200 words in total. Every prompt must ask for a flat vector mark in exactly 2 colors (#7A3E1D and #F4C95D) on a plain white background with no gradients, say no text or lettering (the name goes on later), and say it must be original, not based on any existing brand or cartoon character.","materialLabel":"The brief (attached to your prompt automatically)","material":"Little Crumb Bakery - logo ideas (my notes)\n\nWhat we sell: sourdough, cinnamon buns, hand pies. Small shop, opening in April on Maple Street.\n\nFeeling: friendly, handmade, a little old-fashioned, warm.\n\nSymbols I like: a rolling pin, a wheat stalk, a little round loaf with a score mark, maybe a crumb or two.\n\nColors: chocolate brown #7A3E1D and butter yellow #F4C95D. The sign maker charges per color, and the stamp for our paper bags can't do blends.\n\nIdeas from friends:\n- \"Make the loaf have mouse ears like that famous cartoon mouse, kids would love it.\"\n- \"Use the curly lettering from that big soda brand, it feels classic.\"\n- \"What about a gold foil gradient? Looks fancy.\"\n- \"Put 'EST. 2026' under it like the old bakeries.\"\n\nWhere it'll go: shop sign, paper bag stamp, Instagram profile picture (tiny circle), sticker on boxes.\n\nI'll add the name \"Little Crumb\" myself in Canva once I pick a mark.","rules":[{"type":"numberedItems","count":3},{"type":"maxWords","max":200},{"type":"plainText"}],"mistakes":[{"title":"Taking the friends' ideas","why":"The AI adds the mouse ears, the soda-style lettering or the gold gradient, which copy famous brands or can't print.","fix":"Add: \"Original design, not based on any existing brand, logo or cartoon character.\"","checks":["r2"]},{"title":"Letting the tool add the name","why":"Image tools misspell names, and you planned to add it yourself.","fix":"Add: \"No text or lettering at all.\"","checks":["r1"]},{"title":"Rules in only one prompt","why":"The AI states the color and text rules once, then drops them from the other prompts, and each prompt is pasted alone.","fix":"Add: \"Repeat the same rules sentence at the end of every prompt.\"","checks":["r0","r1","r2"]},{"title":"Getting a branding essay","why":"The AI explains logo theory with headings and bold, and the concept count drifts.","fix":"Add: \"Exactly 3 numbered prompts, plain text, no notes.\"","checks":["numberedItems","plainText","maxWords"]},{"title":"Trusting the AI to count words","why":"Three prompts plus commentary blow past any limit.","fix":"Cap each: \"each prompt under 50 words.\"","checks":["maxWords"]}],"promptHints":[{"label":"Asks for 3 prompts","patterns":["\\b(3|three)\\b.{0,20}(prompts|concepts)"]},{"label":"Limits the colors","patterns":["2 colors|two colors","#7A3E1D"]},{"label":"Bans gradients","patterns":["no gradient"]},{"label":"Rules out text","patterns":["no (text|letter|lettering|words)"]},{"label":"Keeps it original","patterns":["original","not based on","no (existing|brand|cartoon)"]}],"hint":"Each logo prompt gets pasted on its own, so every one needs the rules.
