Example Brief:

markdown
## Brand Brief: TechStart

**Industry:** SaaS, developer tools
**Target Audience:** Software developers, 25-40 years old
**Brand Values:** Innovation, simplicity, reliability
**Personality:** Modern, technical, approachable
**Competitors:** GitHub, GitLab, Vercel

**Logo Requirements:**

- Works in monochrome
- Scales from 16px (favicon) to billboard
- Modern, not trendy (should age well)
- Unique, memorable

Step 2: Logo Concepts

Concept 1: Wordmark

code
Clean, modern typography
Focus on the company name
Example: Google, Facebook, Netflix

Concept 2: Lettermark

code
Initials in a distinctive way
Good for long company names
Example: IBM, HBO, CNN

Concept 3: Icon + Wordmark

code
Symbol + company name
Most versatile option
Example: Nike, Apple, Twitter

Example SVG Logo (React Component):

typescript
// components/brand/Logo.tsx

interface LogoProps {
  variant?: 'full' | 'icon' | 'wordmark'
  color?: 'primary' | 'white' | 'black'
  size?: number
}

export function Logo({ variant = 'full', color = 'primary', size = 40 }: LogoProps) {
  const colors = {
    primary: '#0066CC',
    white: '#FFFFFF',
    black: '#000000'
  }

  const fillColor = colors[color]

  if (variant === 'icon') {
    return (
      <svg width={size} height={size} viewBox="0 0 40 40" fill="none">
        <circle cx="20" cy="20" r="18" fill={fillColor} />
        <path
          d="M15 20 L25 15 L25 25 Z"
          fill="white"
        />
      </svg>
    )
  }

  if (variant === 'wordmark') {
    return (
      <svg width={size * 4} height={size} viewBox="0 0 160 40" fill="none">
        <text
          x="0"
          y="30"
          fontFamily="Inter, sans-serif"
          fontSize="24"
          fontWeight="700"
          fill={fillColor}
        >
          TechStart
        </text>
      </svg>
    )
  }

  // Full logo (icon + wordmark)
  return (
    <svg width={size * 5} height={size} viewBox="0 0 200 40" fill="none">
      <circle cx="20" cy="20" r="18" fill={fillColor} />
      <path d="M15 20 L25 15 L25 25 Z" fill="white" />
      <text
        x="50"
        y="30"
        fontFamily="Inter, sans-serif"
        fontSize="24"
        fontWeight="700"
        fill={fillColor}
      >
        TechStart
      </text>
    </svg>
  )

<Logo variant="icon" size={32} />
<Logo variant="wordmark" color="white" />
