MHM · Logo Suite Round-Up
Full brand-system options
6 functional slots in the brand system. Each generated across 3 toolchains (Nano Banana / ChatGPT / Grok) for comparison. Picks not yet locked — review pass for Jason before any client conversation.
Current Linktree mark (anchor)
What MHM publicly shows today. Sage-green, hand-drawn piano keys, hand-letter wordmark. Canva-derived, no vector source. Every variant in this suite respects this palette and emotional register.
SLOT 1 · Primary identity
Primary Mark — Faithful Refinement
Where it lives: website header, social profile pictures, email signatures, default brand mark when no other context applies. Clean substitute for the current Linktree mark — same logo, just vector-clean.
Nano Banana
Faithful raster-to-vector cleanup of the original. Crisp edges, preserves all 7 wavy keys + chunky wordmark.
ChatGPT
More polished interpretation. ChatGPT tends to refine edges further than briefed.
Grok
Hand-drawn warmth most preserved. Grok's strength is the marker-on-paper feel.
SLOT 2 · Print + donor surfaces
Elevated Mark — Moderate Polish
Where it lives: print collateral, brochures, donor recognition, press kit. Same identity as primary, more designed feel for surfaces where the audience sees more design intent.
Nano Banana
More confident keys, subtle stage line, characterful wordmark.
ChatGPT
Polished interpretation — keys feel more deliberate.
Grok #1
First Grok variant — preserves hand-drawn warmth.
Grok #2
Alternative Grok run — different stylistic interpretation.
SLOT 3 · Music therapy programs
Heartbeat-Stave Sub-Brand
Where it lives: music therapy program materials, clinical/therapeutic contexts, sub-brand for the THERAPY side specifically. EKG line transitioning into musical staff — heartbeat becomes song. Most distinctive concept in the suite.
Nano Banana
Single continuous stroke EKG → staff. Hand-drawn warmth preserved.
ChatGPT
Cleaner geometry, more graphic-design feel.
Grok #1
First Grok variant.
Grok #2
Alternative Grok variant.
SLOT 4 · Small-format · Institutional
MHM Monogram Seal — Round 3 (v3-2 Arc)
Where it lives: favicon, social avatars, watermark on photos/receipts, embroidered apparel, grant-application credibility boost. Looks like a 30-year institution's seal — polished but warm. Heart-replaces-H signature stays consistent across tools.
Nano Banana
Original v3-2 — arc staff under MHM with sage heart in H. Source for cross-tool brief.
ChatGPT
4-up sheet — multiple small variants in one image. ChatGPT's typical multi-variant return.
Grok
Beautiful editorial seal — most institutional gravitas of the three. Single large variation.
⚡ Alternative direction — Bold hand-drawn monogram (merch energy)
Grok's interpretation of the bold monogram direction.
SLOT 5 · Cole's Story · Memorial
Cole's Chord — Heart + Note Fusion (CC2)
Where it lives: Cole's Story landing page, Cole scholarships, memorial events, dedicated tribute moments. Single fused shape: heart and music note share geometry — note's stem IS the heart's vertical line. Warmest, most intimate mark in the system.
Nano Banana
Original CC2 — single continuous line, heart cleft flows into note stem. Source for cross-tool brief.
ChatGPT
Cleaner line interpretation. More refined geometry.
Grok #1
First Grok variant — single continuous stroke.
Grok #2
Alternative Grok run.
⚡ Alternative direction — Three-note chord (musical performance energy)
Nano Banana
Three eighth notes connected by beam. Wood-grain warmth.
ChatGPT
ChatGPT's chord interpretation.
Grok #1
Grok variant 1.
Grok #2
Grok variant 2.
SLOT 6 · Hopeful · Album-tied
Sunny Day Mark
Where it lives: Sunny Day album merch, annual gala, hopeful campaigns, children-focused programs. Sun + music notes blend — direct nod to Cole's "Sunny Day" album. The future-facing side of grief.
Nano Banana
Sun + notes blend, hand-drawn warmth, ties to the album.
