Design a logo with an exact name

A two-color logo for a fictional bakery: one wheat stalk and the name in one line, flat, nothing else. Checks the spelling, the restraint and whether it still reads small, and records whether you can get a vector (SVG) file.

Run the test

  1. Download the file for the AI.
  2. Copy the prompt.

    Paste the brief from the file (the part between the lines) into the AI exactly as written, and score the first logo it gives you.

  3. Open the AI in another tab, in your own account, start a fresh chat, attach the file and paste the prompt.
  4. Note what you used: the plan, the visible model or mode, whether web search was on, how many attempts it took and anything that went wrong.
  5. Score the answer with the checks below. Run the same kit in each AI you are choosing between.

Scorecard

Critical checks are marked. One failed critical check matters more than a nice style.

  • The name reads exactly 'Larkspur Bakery', in one lineCritical
  • One simple wheat stalk to the left of the nameCritical
  • No other words, slogan, year or addressCritical
  • At most two colors (dark brown and warm gold) on whiteCritical
  • Flat: no gradients, shadows or photo effects
  • Still readable at about 32 pixels high
  • A vector (SVG) download was possible

To compare without knowing which AI made which, ask someone else to save the pictures as A, B and C before you score them, and to tell you which is which afterwards.

Reference answer (open after you score)

The name passes only if every letter is right; 'Larkspurr', 'Bakey' or a stray mark between the words fails. Typical failures: two or three wheat stalks, a badge or circle around everything, an invented slogan, gradients or shadows, and text too thin to read when small. Record whether the tool offered SVG, transparent PNG or only a flat image, and how many attempts you needed.
