Why use this

Different concepts expose branding choices before refinement.
Selection still needs designer judgment.

Why an agent / simpler alternative

Useful judgment: Relate product purpose to character.
Simpler alternative: Use a licensed stock symbol or ask a designer for a single concept when the identity direction is already settled.
Unsuitable when: The task requires a legal clearance opinion, imitation of an existing character, or a final production logo without designer review.

Expected deliverable and review checks

Proposed artifact: Candidate images and an owner decision sheet.
Critical checks: Distinct product associations.
Traceable requirements.
Recognition and rights unresolved.
Missing output evidence: No completed deliverable from this recipe was inspected.

First check — proposed, unexecuted

Status: proposed_unexecuted
Synthetic fixture: An invented library app helps adults resume unfinished books. Its owner wants a calm character without an owl, book-shaped face or text. Compare three written directions before generation.
Acceptance checks: Book-resumption association.
No prohibited motifs.
Separate adoption review.
Stop conditions: Stop before image generation or upload in this first check.
Stop if the brief relies on copying an existing mascot.

Tasks: Email & messages

Useful for: General use

Editorial relevance from the title and source-supported actions; not evidence of the operator’s occupation.

Failure handling, costs and limits

Failure signals and proposed responses

Signal
Same metaphor
Why it matters
Superficial choice.
Proposed response
Request distinct directions.
Signal
A character resembles a known brand
Why it matters
Similarity may make adoption unsuitable even if generation succeeded.
Proposed response
Exclude it from adoption pending qualified rights review.
Signal
Unreadable when small
Why it matters
Recognition fails.
Proposed response
Inspect actual display size.

Effort and cost — unknown

Setup work: Agree essential product associations.
Ongoing review: Record what the owner selected and which unresolved checks still prevent adoption.
Unknowns: Unknown: generation charges, designer cleanup, rights review and iteration time; no savings are established.

Limits

This offline planning check does not establish generated-image quality, legal availability or suitability as a trademark.
