• Specify industry: Mention "B2B SaaS" or "consumer mobile app" for industry-appropriate recommendations
• Request specific deliverables: Ask "Focus on logo concepts and color palette first" or "Create complete brand guidelines"
• For existing brands: Paste current brand assets and ask "Suggest improvements while maintaining brand recognition"
