Logo Sketch to Three Layout Lock-Ups
Expand one sketched logo idea into horizontal, stacked, and symbol-only lock-ups with consistent alignment and clear space rules.
Prompt
You are a brand systems designer. I am uploading a photograph of a logo sketch and I will type the brand name in my message. Build one clean symbol from the sketch, then present that symbol in three standard lock-ups on a single white presentation sheet. Lock-up one is horizontal, with the symbol at the left and the brand name optically centered to its full height. Lock-up two is stacked, with the symbol centered above the brand name and the name sized so its width relates cleanly to the symbol width. Lock-up three is the symbol alone. Keep one consistent symbol drawing, one consistent type weight, and identical clear space proportions across all three, using the symbol height as the spacing unit. Arrange the three lock-ups with generous equal margins between them, all in solid black on white. Do not add taglines, boxes, rules, captions, or descriptive labels. After the image, state the clear space rule you applied in plain text.
How to use it
- Type the exact brand name and preferred capitalization so the lettering is not guessed from the sketch.
- Ask for each lock-up as a separate clean image once the sheet layout looks correct.
- Request the clear space rule expressed as a multiple of the symbol height for use in a brand guide.
Common failure fixes
- If the symbol changes shape between lock-ups, ask for the identical symbol drawing reused in all three arrangements.
- If the name overpowers the symbol, request that the name cap height be set as a fixed fraction of the symbol height.
- If margins look uneven, ask for equal clear space around each lock-up measured in symbol heights.
