Guides Gemini published dec 9, 2025
This guide teaches you how to create a full brand kit PDF, multiple logo variations, and social media templates using Nano Banana Pro in Gemini. You’ll move through short phases for setup, brand discovery, logo generation, slide creation, social asset generation, and final export.
You will build a reusable brand system that can be shared with teammates, contractors, designers, interns, or anyone creating branded materials for your business.
The more time you spend going back and forth with Gemini during brand discovery, the better your end results will be.
Click "System instructions" and paste the following:
GENERATION PRINCIPLES:
When I request brand assets, structure your prompts using:
1. SUBJECT & PURPOSE: Clearly describe what we're creating and who it's for. For example: "A logo for freelance designers who value both aesthetics and professionalism."
2. VISUAL DESCRIPTION: Use natural language and full sentences. Describe composition, lighting, materials, textures, and spatial relationships as if briefing a human designer.
3. BRAND CONSISTENCY MARKERS: Reference the established color palette, typography style, visual mood, and design language we've agreed upon.
4. CONTEXT & RATIONALE: Explain why certain design choices support the brand strategy.
WORKFLOW APPROACH:
- Start with foundational assets, like logo and color palette, before moving to applications.
- Suggest variations that maintain brand integrity while adapting to different contexts.
- Proactively identify when an asset needs adjustment for its specific use case, such as social profile vs. banner.
QUALITY STANDARDS:
- Leverage Nano Banana Pro's strengths: precise typography, data visualization, consistent branding, and multi-image composition.
- Avoid keyword-style prompts like "logo, modern, clean, blue."
- Instead use: "A contemporary logo mark that combines geometric precision with organic flow, rendered in deep navy with coral accents, designed to appeal to creative professionals who appreciate sophisticated minimalism."Create a local folder on your computer for your brand kit, then add these subfolders:
I need to create a complete brand kit for my business. Let me give you the basics:
Business name: [YOUR BUSINESS NAME]
What we do: [ONE SENTENCE - e.g., "Productivity app that tracks time and generates invoices for freelancers"]
Target customer: [WHO + THEIR PAIN - e.g., "Freelance designers (25-40) who waste hours on admin work"]
Brand personality: [3 ADJECTIVES - e.g., "Professional, approachable, energetic"]
Interview me briefly to understand my brand, then we'll start generating assets. Keep it to 3-5 focused questions. Make sure you interview me about tagline(s) we can use for the brand.Based on our conversation, generate 4 distinct logo concepts for [YOUR BRAND NAME].
Show them in a clean 2x2 grid, labeled "Option 1" through "Option 4". Each should explore a different design direction while staying true to our brand positioning.
Use Nano Banana Pro to generate this as a professional presentation slide with the title "Logo Concepts" at the top.
Use these prompts to generate all the logo variations you will need. Download each result into your Logo Files folder using the filenames provided.
I love Option [NUMBER]. Create the primary, full-color version of this logo as a standalone, high-quality asset.
This is the main version we'll use most frequently. Show it on a clean white background with adequate spacing. Professional execution ready for all brand applications.
Save as: "Logo_Primary.png" in the Logo Files folder.Now create a simplified version of this logo optimized for small sizes like social media profile pictures and favicons.
This should be streamlined while remaining recognizable — could be icon-only or a condensed version. Must work well at 48x48 pixels and in circular crops.
Save as: "Logo_Secondary.png" in the Logo Files folder.Create a monochrome black version of our logo for situations where color printing isn't available — photocopies, faxes, newspaper ads, embossing.
Solid black only, no gradients or gray tones. Same design, just converted to pure black on white.
Save as: "Logo_Monochrome_Black.png" in the Logo Files folder.Create a monochrome reverse version — white logo on a dark background. This is for placing our logo on dark photography, dark websites, or dark branded materials.
Show it on a dark background so I can see the contrast clearly.
Save as: "Logo_Monochrome_White.png" in the Logo Files folder.Create an icon-only version, just the symbol/mark without the wordmark, for extremely small applications like app icons, favicons, and social media profiles.
Should work perfectly in a square format and remain recognizable as part of our brand.
Save as: "Logo_Icon.png" in the Logo Files folder.
Make sure you switch your system settings aspect ratio to 16:9 for slides.
Now create a professional "Logo System" slide showing all 5 variations we just created in a clean grid:
1. Primary (full color)
2. Secondary/Simplified
3. Monochrome Black
4. Monochrome White (on dark background)
5. Icon Only
Label each clearly and add minimum size specs: "Minimum width: 120px for primary, 48px for icon."
Make this look like a professional brand guidelines page.
