Text : I’ve been building a small tool called Brandolia, originally for myself because freelancers and small businesses around me kept asking for logos, color palettes, storylines, names, etc.

Instead of generating just a logo, the tool builds an entire brand identity automatically:

logo

color palette

typography

brand story + slogan

positioning

visual guidelines

landing page text

social media starter kit

All in less than a minute.

I built it solo (Supabase + OpenAI + Deno Edge Functions + a lot of prompt engineering), and I was surprised by how many non-technical users struggle with branding even more than with website creation.

Brandolia now has a few thousand users, and I'm trying to understand if there’s a real market demand for “full brand identity generation” vs. “just logo generation.”

I’d love feedback from HN on:

Whether this solves a real problem you’ve seen yourself or in your company

What features would actually matter to make it useful long term

Whether automated branding can coexist with design agencies or will always stay a niche tool
