Logo Design (Built-in)

55+ styles, 30 color palettes, 25 industry guides. Gemini Nano Banana models.

Logo: Generate Design Brief

python3 ~/.claude/skills/design/scripts/logo/search.py "tech startup modern" --design-brief -p "BrandName"

Logo: Search Styles/Colors/Industries

python3 ~/.claude/skills/design/scripts/logo/search.py "minimalist clean" --domain style
python3 ~/.claude/skills/design/scripts/logo/search.py "tech professional" --domain color
python3 ~/.claude/skills/design/scripts/logo/search.py "healthcare medical" --domain industry

Logo: Generate with AI

**ALWAYS** generate output logo images with white background.

python3 ~/.claude/skills/design/scripts/logo/generate.py --brand "TechFlow" --style minimalist --industry tech
python3 ~/.claude/skills/design/scripts/logo/generate.py --prompt "coffee shop vintage badge" --style vintage

**IMPORTANT:** When scripts fail, try to fix them directly.

After generation, **ALWAYS** ask user about HTML preview via `AskUserQuestion`. If yes, invoke `/ui-ux-pro-max` for gallery.

CIP Design (Built-in)

50+ deliverables, 20 styles, 20 industries. Gemini Nano Banana (Flash/Pro).

CIP: Generate Brief

python3 ~/.claude/skills/design/scripts/cip/search.py "tech startup" --cip-brief -b "BrandName"

CIP: Search Domains

python3 ~/.claude/skills/design/scripts/cip/search.py "business card letterhead" --domain deliverable
python3 ~/.claude/skills/design/scripts/cip/search.py "luxury premium elegant" --domain style
python3 ~/.claude/skills/design/scripts/cip/search.py "hospitality hotel" --domain industry
python3 ~/.claude/skills/design/scripts/cip/search.py "office reception" --domain mockup

CIP: Generate Mockups

# With logo (RECOMMENDED)
python3 ~/.claude/skills/design/scripts/cip/generate.py --brand "TopGroup" --logo /path/to/logo.png --deliverable "business card" --industry "consulting"

# Full CIP set
python3 ~/.claude/skills/design/scripts/cip/generate.py --brand "TopGroup" --logo /path/to/logo.png --industry "consulting" --set

# Pro model (4K text)
python3 ~/.claude/skills/design/scripts/cip/generate.py --brand "TopGroup" --logo logo.png --deliverable "business card" --model pro

# Without logo
python3 ~/.claude/skills/design/scripts/cip/generate.py --brand "TechFlow" --deliverable "business card" --no-logo-prompt

Models: `flash` (default, `gemini-2.5-flash-image`), `pro` (`gemini-3-pro-image-preview`)

CIP: Render HTML Presentation

python3 ~/.claude/skills/design/scripts/cip/render-html.py --brand "TopGroup" --industry "consulting" --images /path/to/cip-output

**Tip:** If no logo exists, use Logo Design section above first.
