What it does

App Icons And Logos is an agent skill from glifxyz/glif-mcp-server. Design a logo, app icon, favicon set, icon set or brand kit with Glif for an app or site you are building, then export every size and wire it into the code. Use when: "help me design a logo", "make a logo", "design an app icon", "we need a favicon", "PWA icon", "iOS app icon", "Android adaptive icon", "SVG logo", "custom icon set", "illustrated icons for these features", "emoji or sticker pack", "Discord emoji", "mascot", "animate our logo", "logo intro", "make the logo glossy 3D", "brand kit", "visual identity"…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`). Compatibility notes: Requires the Glif MCP server at https://glif.app/api/mcp.

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Logo and visual identity, Icons and illustration and Brand strategy and identity. It works with Android, iOS, Discord and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Glif's hosted MCP server, plugin and skills for creating images, video and audio. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor and more. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • : help me design a logo
  • Design an app icon
  • We need a favicon
  • Android adaptive icon

Example prompts

  • “help me design a logo”
  • “make a logo”
  • “design an app icon”
  • “/app-icons-and-logos”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires the Glif MCP server at https://glif.app/api/mcp.

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Get the brief
  2. Explore, then let the user pick
  3. Make the finals
  4. Export the sizes
  5. Optional extras
  6. Custom icon sets
  7. Finish

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0c90bf7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl
    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl and npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Requires the Glif MCP server at https://glif.app/api/mcp.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

App Icons And Logos loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 193 tokens; SKILL.md has 662 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~193
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Create a mark the user picks, then turn it into every file the app needs. The user's explicit instructions come first, within host safety rules.

1. Get the brief

Ask only for what's missing:

  • product name and one line on what it does
  • feel: playful, serious, technical, warm...
  • colors to use or avoid
  • any existing logo, sketch, screenshot or site URL to build on (upload files with upload_file)

If the user already has a logo, use it. Don't redesign it unless asked.

2. Explore, then let the user pick

A request for a logo or icon is approval to spend credits on it. Send one compose_project call asking for 4 clearly different concepts:

  • 1:1, at least 1024×1024, centered with even padding
  • flat, bold shapes that still read at 32 px and in one color
  • plain background, no mockups, no extra text unless it's a wordmark

Show the concepts and stop. The user picks. Never choose for them.

3. Make the finals

Continue the same project by passing its project_id to compose_project. Ask for the chosen concept as:

  • an SVG, plus a 2048×2048 transparent PNG master
  • one-color versions in black and white
  • an icon-only square mark, if the concept has a wordmark
  • an opaque square version on the brand background color, for app icons

Glif can make SVG. If a result comes back raster-only, a simple flat mark can be traced locally with vtracer or potrace. Check the trace against the PNG.

For wordmarks, check the spelling letter by letter. A crisper option is to set the name in a real font next to the mark, in SVG or HTML.

4. Export the sizes

Download the finals into the repo, for example assets/brand/, with curl -fsSL "<media url>" -o <path>. Make the sizes locally from the master with whatever is installed: sharp, magick, sips or npx png-to-ico. Never upscale.

Web head kit (in public/ or the framework's static folder):

FileSizeNotes
favicon.ico16, 32, 48multi-size ICO
favicon.svgvectorfrom the SVG master
apple-touch-icon.png180×180opaque, with padding
icon-192.png, icon-512.png192, 512listed in site.webmanifest
icon-maskable-512.png512×512mark inside the center 80% circle, "purpose": "maskable"

Add the <link rel="icon">, apple-touch-icon and manifest tags plus <meta name="theme-color">. Look at the favicon at 16 px. If the mark turns to mush, use a simpler glyph or a single letter.

iOS: one 1024×1024 PNG with no transparency and square corners. iOS rounds the corners itself.

Android: adaptive icon with a foreground and a background layer, each 432×432 px at xxxhdpi. Keep the mark inside the center 264 px. The Play Store listing also needs a 512×512 PNG.

5. Optional extras

Offer these after the logo is approved. Each is a separate request.

  • Logo animation: a 2 to 4 second reveal or burst, MP4 with a transparent or brand-color background, for splash screens and video intros.
  • Restyle: the same mark as glossy 3D, Y2K chrome or another treatment, on a transparent background.
  • Brand kit: palette with hex values, font pairing, usage rules and a one-page sheet. Glif can build it from the new logo, or from the user's existing site by its URL. Save the values as CSS variables or Tailwind theme tokens too.
  • Mascot: a character sheet with front, side and back views plus expressions, so the mascot looks the same everywhere.

6. Custom icon sets

For standard UI icons like settings, search or close, use the project's icon library (Lucide, Heroicons and so on) or hand-written SVG. Don't spend credits on them.

For illustrated icons, ask for the whole set in one image so the style matches: a grid of 6 to 12 icons, same stroke weight and palette, plain background. Then ask for each one as SVG or as a 256×256 transparent PNG, named by meaning (icon-invoices.svg). Emoji and stickers for Slack or Discord are 128×128 transparent PNGs.

7. Finish

Share the projectUrl. List every file you wrote and the tags you added. Don't change the user's existing brand files unless they asked.
