The Free Claude Skill That Designs Your Whole Logo: How to Install It, Brief It and Get the Files
Logo sites charge you every year for a template. This free, open-source skill turns Claude into a logo designer: it checks your idea against more than 1,400 real logos, tests the mark down to 16 pixels, and hands you the SVG, a colour palette and a full set of app icons and favicons. How to install it, how to brief it, and the prompts to use.
Most logo sites work the same way: you type your business name, pick a template, and pay every year to keep using it. What you end up with looks like a thousand other logos, and the files are never really yours.
The logo design skill is a free, open-source skill (MIT licence) that passed 1,500 stars on GitHub in its first week. Add it to Claude, describe your business in a sentence or two, and Claude works like a real identity designer: it researches your category, sketches concepts, tests them, and only then shows you the best ones. When you pick one, it builds the whole kit, and every file is yours.
What you get
| What | What it is |
|---|---|
| Concepts | Three logo directions built as real SVG files, shown on one overview sheet with a recommendation. |
| Look-alike check | Your idea compared with a library of more than 1,400 real logos, sorted by shape, mood and industry, so yours doesn't look like someone else's. |
| Tests | Every concept checked at 16 pixels, in one colour, reversed, and on a shelf next to your competitors. |
| The final logo | Production-ready SVG files, plus PNGs at the sizes you need. |
| Colour palette | Your brand colours, checked for contrast. |
| Icons | Favicon, app icons and the full web-manifest set, exported in one go. |
| Guidelines | A presentation board with mockups for your industry and a brand-guidelines page. |
It works in Claude Code, in the Claude app (Claude.ai and Claude Desktop), and in other agents that support skills, such as Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, Cursor and GitHub Copilot.
How it works
- The brief. You describe the business, or it asks you a few questions and states its assumptions.
- The research. It looks up your category in its library of real logos to see what everyone else does, so it can avoid it.
- The concepts. It writes 8 to 12 one-line ideas and builds the strongest 3 as SVG files.
- The tests. Each one is audited and tested at 16 pixels, in one colour, reversed and next to competitors. Weak ideas get fixed or dropped before you see them.
- The checkpoint. It shows you the three concepts on one sheet, recommends one, and stops. Nothing else gets made until you choose.
- The kit. Once you pick a direction, it builds the colours, the lockups, the presentation board, the icons and the guidelines.
