# Logo Creator

Logo Creator generates logos through AI image generation with an iterative design process. Use it to create logos, icons, favicons, brand marks, mascots, or emblems, then crop, remove background, and export as SVG.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/ReScienceLab/opc-skills/tree/main/skills/logo-creator ~/.claude/skills/logo-creator
```

## README

# 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/<yyyy-mm-dd-summaryname>/
```

**Example:**
```
.skill-archive/logo-creator/2026-01-18-opc-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
python3 <nanobanana_skill_dir>/scripts/generate.py "{style} logo for {brand}, {description}, {colors}" \
  --ratio 1:1 -o .skill-archive/logo-creator/<date-name>/logo-01.png

# Batch generate 20 logos
python3 <nanobanana_skill_dir>/scripts/batch_generate.py "{style} logo for {brand}, {description}, {colors}" \
  -n 20 --ratio 1:1 -d .skill-archive/logo-creator/<date-name> -p logo
```

**Guidelines:**
- Use batch_generate.py for multiple variations (includes auto-delay)
- Save to `.skill-archive/logo-creator/<yyyy-mm-dd-summaryname>/` 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 <skill_dir>/templates/preview.html .skill-archive/logo-creator/<yyyy-mm-dd-summaryname>/preview.html
```

Then open in default browser:

```bash
open .skill-archive/logo-creator/<yyyy-mm-dd-summaryname>/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
python3 <skill_dir>/scripts/crop_logo.py {input.png} {output-cropped.png}
```

**5b. Remove background:**
```bash
python3 <skill_dir>/scripts/remove_bg.py {input.png} {output-nobg.png}
```

**5c. Convert to SVG:**
```bash
python3 <skill_dir>/scripts/vectorize.py {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/<yyyy-mm-dd-summaryname>/`
Copy final logo to user's desired location.
```

## Quick Reference

### Common Prompt Patterns
