Step 1
Define Your Brand Positioning
Answer 5 key brand questions with Claude: Who is your target customer? What is your category? What 3 words describe your brand personality? What are 2 brands you admire the look of? What should your brand never be mistaken for?
Step 2
Generate Logo Concepts in Looka
Enter your company name, industry, and 3 personality keywords into Looka. Generate 50+ logo variations and shortlist the 3–5 directions that feel closest to your positioning brief.
Step 3
Refine with AI Image Tools
Take your Looka direction and generate alternative icon variations in Midjourney or Ideogram. Sometimes the best final logo is a hybrid of a Looka structure with a more distinctive icon from an image model.
Step 4
Build Brand Assets in Adobe Express
Import your finalized logo into Adobe Express. Use the brand kit to lock your colors and fonts, then use templates to create: LinkedIn banner, Instagram profile, email signature, presentation cover.
Step 5
Document Your Brand Guidelines
Use Claude to write a 1-page brand guidelines document covering: logo usage rules, color palette hex codes, typography choices, tone of voice in 3 sentences, and 5 dos and don'ts.
