IP as Logo

An Agent Skill that generates simple rounded IP mascot logos with consistent constraints and a candidate search

What it is

IP as Logo is an open-source Agent Skill that generates anthropomorphic IP mascot logos. It uses the vendor-agnostic open Agent Skills format, not tied to a specific agent product, and is distributed under the MIT license.

It prioritizes the logo over the character, imposing constraints such as a simple silhouette of 6–10 basic shapes, three base semantic colors, rounded forms, and square opaque output. It defines a flow that first proposes three directions, then after approval generates six candidates per direction as independent images.

The repository consists of the SKILL.md instructions and showcase images, and does not include separate scripts, style references, or generation dependencies.

How to apply

  • Insert it into the logo-exploration step: first narrow product attributes or a brand promise into three distinct mascot directions, then compare variations of the chosen direction.
  • Where the AI Video Visual Reference Workflow conveys aesthetics through images, this skill is an option for pinning the allowed range of form, color, crop, and gradient into repeatable instructions.
  • See the same generation and editing tools together in Image & Video Generation & Editing.

Limits

As of the 2026-08-18 repository description, it does not include an actual image generator. If the runtime has no image generator, it cannot produce output, and the model may violate the background-gradient, crop, and depth constraints, so failure judgment and retries are needed. Quality and cost per generation model were not confirmed.
