32 logos in under an hour. Picking one is still the job.
Claude Code wrote the prompts and GPT Image 2.5 drew the options. Most of them broke at favicon size. The one that held up is a V shaped like a heart.
Every logo I designed used to take days to weeks. Context, sketches, Illustrator, then rounds of feedback with the client.
This time I gave the job to Claude Code. It read the repo for lvly.design, my design inspiration site, wrote the prompts for GPT Image 2.5 itself, and came back with 16 logos on one sheet, each with an ID number so I could point at one. I asked for 16 more. The whole thing took under an hour.
Making them was the easy part. Claude Code put all 32 on one review page: each one as a favicon in a browser tab, in black and white, and at small sizes. Most of them fell apart there. The heart got too small to see, or the mark got too crowded.
The one that held up is option 20, a V whose rounded tops form a heart. At 16 pixels you still see the heart. Look closer and it's a V. It's the favicon on lvly.design now.
The tools changed who can draw a logo. Choosing the right one is still the job.
