The anatomy of a Claude prompt that works the first time
Most disappointing answers come from prompts that are missing one of five parts. Here is what each part does, with a before and after you can copy.
Describe a brand in one sentence and get four different logo directions as clean SVG you can open in a browser or drop into Figma.
Design four logo concepts for this brand, as SVG. Brand: [NAME] What it does: [ONE SENTENCE] Personality: [THREE ADJECTIVES] Colours I like or want to avoid: [OPTIONAL] What I need: - Four clearly different directions: a wordmark, a symbol with the name, a monogram and a badge. - Each logo as its own complete `<svg>` with a viewBox of 0 0 400 240. Simple shapes and paths only. No raster images, no filters. - Three colours at most per logo, and each one should still read in a single colour. - Set the name in a common system font stack so it renders everywhere, and tell me which typeface you'd buy for the real thing. - Two sentences under each SVG on the idea behind it. End with the direction you'd take further, and why.

Four directions for Tidepool, a small-batch coffee roaster by the sea. Each one is a standalone SVG: a wordmark with a wave cut through the double "o", a rising sun over water as a symbol, a "T" monogram shaped like a pour-over stand, and a round badge for bags and stamps.
NoteThis is an example. Results change between runs and model versions. Claude Prompts is a fan project and is not affiliated with Anthropic.
The early part of a branding job, when you need something to react to. A new side project, a client workshop, a stand-in logo for a prototype. Because what comes back is SVG code, you can open it in a browser, paste it into Figma or keep editing it by hand.
The three adjectives steer the result more than the description does. "Calm, precise, warm" and "loud, fast, cheap" give you completely different marks. Say where the logo has to work as well, whether that's an app icon, a shop sign or an embroidered cap, since small sizes force simpler shapes. Found one you like? Ask for "five variations of concept two, changing only the symbol".
These are sketches, not finished trademarks. Simple geometric marks can end up looking like an existing logo by accident, so search before you commit to one. The text is set in system fonts so that it renders everywhere. For the real version, use the typeface Claude suggests and convert the text to outlines.
