Issue #2: Brand kickoffs — logo tools that survive real work

Hey — Yuan here.

Issue #1 was about UI/product tools. This week is brand work: messy kickoffs, too many “AI logo” tabs, and what I’d actually open.

A short set for identity kickoffs — logo concepts, type/color helpers, and what to skip when the brief needs a real lockup.

Most lists are pretty PNG galleries. This shortlist uses a boring bar: can it move toward an editable mark, or are you redrawing in Illustrator anyway?

The checklist behind the shortlists (job fit, editable handoff, commercial use, price a solo team can live with).

That’s it for #2. If something on a listing looks wrong, reply — I’ll fix it.
