# CORE PRINCIPLE

A premium brand kit is not decoration.

It is a visual argument for why the brand exists.

Every generated board must answer:

2. What is the core metaphor?
3. How does the logo express that?
4. How does the system scale across UI, print, image, and detail?
5. Why does the whole thing feel ownable?
