[DELETE THIS TEXT AND PASTE YOUR BRIEF:
TASK: describe in plain language the brand/industry, what the logo is for, and what's not working or what you're aiming for — at least 10 words.
M-LEVEL: optional, from 1 — clean geometric — to 8 — detailed/illustrative — leave blank for auto.
A-LEVEL: optional, from 1 — digital-only — to 5 — full multi-surface system — leave blank for auto.
Advanced, optional: PRIORITY AXES / CONFLICT — leave blank for auto-detection, or specify manually using the axis names above if you already know which qualities you want.]: TASK: I need a simple app icon logo for a meditation app — clean and calm — but my drafts either look too generic (just a circle) or too busy for something that's supposed to feel peaceful.
Example output
MODE: Standalone
LOGO CATEGORY: App Icon / Symbol Mark (Meditation)
🔍 Auto-detected: Priority axes {Singularity, Coherence, Distinctiveness, Dual Meaning}, target weak points {Distinctiveness, Memorability, Singularity, Coherence}, M-LEVEL≈2, A-LEVEL≈2 (based on: "just a circle" signals low distinctiveness/memorability while "too busy" signals competing elements and inconsistent styling; note the underlying tension — the brief wants extreme simplicity (app icon, calm) while also wanting a mark that doesn't feel generic, which usually needs more visual weight, so the top-3 below resolve that trade-off in different ways) — override anything above by specifying it manually in your brief.
TOP-3 DIRECTIONS:
1️⃣ Singularity + Coherence + Distinctiveness + Dual Meaning + Memorability (k=5) — a single clean form that hides a second, calming read in its negative space 🟢 BEST-FIT — READY-TO-USE PROMPT BELOW
Type: A | Compatibility: Partially compatible — needs adaptation (Dual Meaning/Coherence naturally sit M3–M6, brief targets M≈2; achievable if the hidden device stays a single subtle cut, not an added shape)
Core: Coherence + Distinctiveness | Weak link: Dual Meaning + Singularity (subtle negative-space details can wash out at tiny favicon sizes)
2️⃣ Legibility + Singularity + Coherence + Distinctiveness + Memorability (k=5) — a maximally readable, pared-back symbol that leans on shape confidence rather than a hidden device
Type: B (Partial overlap — effectively Type A) | Compatibility: Partially compatible — needs adaptation (Legibility sits M1–M4, but Distinctiveness/Memorability want M5–M8; brief is M≈2, so distinctiveness has to come from unusual proportion or stroke choice alone)
3️⃣ Timelessness + Singularity + Coherence + Distinctiveness + Memorability (k=5) — a classic, non-trendy form built to age well rather than stand out immediately
Type: B (Partial overlap — effectively Type A) | Compatibility: Conflicts with M/A-level (Distinctiveness + Memorability naturally want more visual weight, M5–M8, than a restrained "timeless/minimal" M≈2 icon typically carries)

🟢 READY-TO-USE PROMPT (based on 1️⃣):
Design a single, self-contained app icon mark for a meditation app named ✏️[APP NAME] — no wordmark, no secondary elements, no background pattern. Build the mark from one continuous, simplified organic or geometric form (a rounded arc, a breath-like curve, or a soft closed loop) rendered with consistent, even stroke weight or a single solid fill throughout, so the form, weight, and edge quality all agree with each other rather than mixing line-work and fill styles. Within that single form, carve a small, deliberate negative-space cut or gap — no more than one — that reads as a second, quieter image on closer look (for example, the curve of the main shape doubling as a suggestion of a breath, a horizon, or two figures in stillness), so the mark rewards a second glance without adding any extra strokes, layers, or shapes. Keep proportions slightly asymmetric or unexpected rather than a perfectly centered circle, so the silhouette is recognizable in outline alone at icon size. Render in a calm, low-saturation palette — ✏️[COLOR PALETTE / HEX VALUES], ideally one or two tones with soft contrast rather than a gradient. The mark must remain legible and hold its identity from a 16px favicon up through a full app-store icon size, so keep all detail resolvable at the smallest target size — no fine internal linework, no thin gaps under roughly 10% of the mark's width.
Negative prompt / avoid: plain undecorated circle or blob with no internal device; multiple overlapping shapes or layered elements; gradients or drop shadows; thin linework or small gaps that disappear at favicon size; literal meditation clichés (lotus silhouette, seated figure in lotus pose, yin-yang symbol, om symbol) that read as generic category stock rather than a distinctive mark; mismatched stroke weights within the same mark.

ℹ️ "This tool compares identity strategies and expands the best-fit one into a logo design prompt — it doesn't analyze uploaded images, perform a trademark search, or clear IP/trademark rights of any referenced style or brand. Final decisions, including trademark clearance for commercial use, remain the user's responsibility. Scoring is heuristic pattern-matching, not a measured metric, and may vary slightly between runs."
Assumptions made:
- App name: not given in the brief, marked as a placeholder for you to fill in.
- Color palette / hex values: not given in the brief, marked as a placeholder — "calm, low-saturation" was inferred from "clean and calm" but exact colors are yours to choose.
- Structural assumption: treated this as a standalone icon mark with no wordmark lockup and a digital-only application range (favicon through app-store icon), since the brief only mentions "app icon" and gives no signal of a broader brand system.
