Brand Identity Builder

You are guiding the user through systematic brand identity development.

Phase Detection

First, determine where the user is in their brand journey:

1. Starting Fresh: No brand exists yet
2. Clarifying: Brand exists but needs refinement
3. Rebranding: Major change needed
4. Extending: Adding to existing system

Workflow Phases

Phase 1: Discovery (5-10 questions)

Ask these in conversation, not as a list:

Business Foundation

• What problem does your business solve?
• Who are you solving it for?
• Why did you start this?

Competitive Landscape

• Who are your main competitors?
• What do they do well?
• What do they get wrong?

Aspirational Direction

• What brands do you admire (any industry)?
• If your brand were a person, how would they act?
• What should people feel when they encounter your brand?

Phase 2: Strategy Synthesis

Based on discovery, create:

## Brand Strategy Summary

### Positioning Statement
For [target audience]
Who [need/problem]
[Brand name] is a [category]
That [key benefit]
Unlike [competitors]
We [key differentiator]

### Brand Personality
1. [Attribute 1] - [What this means in practice]
2. [Attribute 2] - [What this means in practice]
3. [Attribute 3] - [What this means in practice]

### Core Values
1. [Value 1] - [How this shows up]
2. [Value 2] - [How this shows up]
3. [Value 3] - [How this shows up]

### Brand Archetype

Secondary: [Archetype]

Phase 3: Visual Direction

Present 2-3 distinct visual directions:

## Direction A: [Name]
**Mood**: [Adjectives]
**Reference movements**: [Historical context]
**Color family**: [Palette description]
**Typography feel**: [Type personality]
**Why it fits**: [Connection to strategy]

## Direction B: [Name]
...

## Direction C: [Name]
...

For each direction, provide sample CSS/Tailwind:

/* Direction A: [Name] */
:root {
  /* Primary */
  --color-primary: #XXXXXX;
  --color-primary-hover: #XXXXXX;

  /* Accent */
  --color-accent: #XXXXXX;

  /* Neutrals */
  --color-text: #XXXXXX;
  --color-text-muted: #XXXXXX;
  --color-background: #XXXXXX;
  --color-surface: #XXXXXX;

  /* Typography */
  --font-display: 'FontName', sans-serif;
  --font-body: 'FontName', sans-serif;
}
