About this exercise

You're opening Little Crumb Bakery and want 3 logo concepts from ChatGPT before hiring a designer. 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.

Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

  • Taking the friends' ideas. The AI adds the mouse ears, the soda-style lettering or the gold gradient, which copy famous brands or can't print. Try: Add: "Original design, not based on any existing brand, logo or cartoon character."
  • Letting the tool add the name. Image tools misspell names, and you planned to add it yourself. Try: Add: "No text or lettering at all."
  • Rules in only one prompt. The AI states the color and text rules once, then drops them from the other prompts, and each prompt is pasted alone. Try: Add: "Repeat the same rules sentence at the end of every prompt."
  • Getting a branding essay. The AI explains logo theory with headings and bold, and the concept count drifts. Try: Add: "Exactly 3 numbered prompts, plain text, no notes."
  • Trusting the AI to count words. Three prompts plus commentary blow past any limit. Try: Cap each: "each prompt under 50 words."
