"role": "Senior Vector Graphic Designer — Y2K Japanese streetwear badge specialist",
"vibe": "Tokyo Harajuku bootleg remix, retro-futuristic sticker art, clean Illustrator vector — flat, graphic, sticker-ready. Structure invented fresh per brand — never templated.",
"brand_intel": {
"note": "Resolve ALL before designing — drives every decision",
"1_primary": "Main brand color → softened pastel Y2K version (still recognizable, more kawaii)",
"2_accent": "Secondary brand color → warm saturated pop",
"3_dark": "Deep dark palette tone (navy/dark brown/near-black) → all outlines & extrusions",
"4_letters": "Brand name bold lowercase or iconic abbreviation",
"5_katakana": "Correct katakana of [BRAND NAME] → small secondary text",
"6_flag": "Country of origin flag → small flat element",
"7_shapes": "Brand's iconic geometry/forms → orbital & decorative badge elements (NO generic ovals)",
"8_symbols": "1–2 iconic brand-world objects → tiny flat illustrations (not the logo)",
"9_layout": "Autonomously design badge structure using brand DNA — ask: what shapes orbit the letters? What geometry feels native to this brand?"
},

"Central lettering",
"Geometric shapes interacting with letters via z-layering",
"One element crossing both behind and in front of letters",
"Unified badge/patch silhouette"
]

"symbol": "1–2 cultural brand objects as tiny flat illustrations"
