The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me create a simple starter brand for my business. Business name: [name] What I do and where: [one line] My customer: [who they are] The feel I want: [e.g. friendly and local, calm and premium] Colours I like or want to avoid: [list] Where the logo will appear: [e.g. van, sign, Instagram, invoices] Tools I'll use: [e.g. ChatGPT Images or Gemini for ideas, Canva for the brand kit] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A one-page brand brief: personality in 3 words, colours with hex codes, two font pairings, tone of voice. 2. Three different logo prompts to paste into an image tool: simple, flat, works small and in one colour, with the business name spelt exactly. 3. How to judge the results: readable at stamp size, works in black and white, not like a competitor's. 4. Short, general steps to save the colours and logo in a free brand kit. 5. A reminder to check the name and logo aren't already in use, with the GOV.UK trade mark search as the place to look. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts or results. UK English. If you can create images here, offer to make the logo ideas once I've approved the prompt. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
