# SVG Logo Designer

This skill creates professional, scalable vector graphic (SVG) logos from design specifications, offering multiple variations and layout options.

## When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when the user requests:
- Create a logo from a description or specification
- Design a brand identity or visual mark
- Generate logo variations and concepts
- Create icons or symbols
- Design wordmarks or lettermarks
- Produce scalable graphics for branding
- Export logos in different layouts and styles

## Core Workflow

### Phase 1: Requirements Gathering

When a user requests a logo, gather comprehensive design requirements:

1. **Brand Information**
   - Company/product name
   - Industry and market
   - Target audience
   - Brand personality (modern, classic, playful, serious, etc.)
   - Brand values and messaging
   - Competitors (for differentiation)

2. **Design Preferences**
   - Logo type:
     - **Wordmark**: Text-based logo (Google, Coca-Cola style)
     - **Lettermark**: Initials/abbreviation (IBM, HBO style)
     - **Pictorial Mark**: Icon/symbol (Apple, Twitter style)
     - **Abstract Mark**: Abstract geometric form (Pepsi, Adidas style)
     - **Mascot**: Character-based (KFC Colonel, Michelin Man style)
     - **Combination Mark**: Icon + text (Burger King, Lacoste style)
     - **Emblem**: Text inside symbol (Starbucks, Harley-Davidson style)

3. **Style Guidelines**
   - Color palette (specific colors or let AI choose)
   - Color psychology considerations
   - Font preferences (if text-based)
   - Visual style:
     - Minimalist
     - Geometric
     - Organic/flowing
     - Bold/strong
     - Elegant/refined
     - Playful/friendly
     - Tech/modern
     - Vintage/retro

4. **Technical Requirements**
   - Size constraints (will it be used small? large?)
   - Application contexts (website, print, merchandise, etc.)
   - Color vs monochrome versions needed
   - Background usage (light, dark, transparent)
   - Scalability requirements

5. **Number of Variations**
   - How many different concepts? (Recommend 3-5)
   - How many layouts per concept? (Horizontal, vertical, square, circular)
   - Color variations needed?

### Phase 2: Design Concept Development

Create multiple logo concepts based on requirements:

#### Concept 1: Primary Direction

Develop the main design direction:

**Design Thinking:**
- Research visual metaphors related to brand
- Consider negative space opportunities
- Ensure memorability and uniqueness
- Balance simplicity with distinctiveness
- Consider cultural appropriateness

**SVG Structure:**
```xml
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 200 200" width="200" height="200">
  <defs>
    <!-- Gradients, patterns, filters -->
    <linearGradient id="gradient1" x1="0%" y1="0%" x2="100%" y2="100%">
      <stop offset="0%" style="stop-color:#4F46E5;stop-opacity:1" />
      <stop offset="100%" style="stop-color:#7C3AED;stop-opacity:1" />
    </linearGradient>
  </defs>

  <!-- Logo elements -->
  <g id="logo-symbol">
    <!-- Symbol/icon elements -->
  </g>

  <g id="logo-text">
    <!-- Text elements (if applicable) -->
  </g>
</svg>
```

#### Concept 2-5: Alternative Directions

Create variations exploring different visual approaches:
- Different visual metaphors
- Different style treatments
- Different layouts and compositions
- Different color applications

### Phase 3: Layout Variations

For each concept, create multiple layout options:

#### Layout A: Horizontal Lockup
- Icon on left, text on right
- Best for website headers, business cards
- Wider aspect ratio

#### Layout B:
