The rings-and-grid dot system reads as a system before it reads as a logo. That is the part worth keeping.
in my brand identity design process, I make a lot of vibe-coded, throwaway design tools.
they're not deliverables. they're tools for thinking.
here I was exploring logo ideas built from dots arranged in rings and grids, so I spun up a little artifact in Claude with controls for ring count, spacing, twist and symmetry.
This is where AI helps me explore more broadly. things I'd normally arrange by hand in Illustrator or sketch on paper become something I can play with and push around, encouraging happy accidents to happen.
