• A brain-shaped logo
• Made using hexagons/polygons
• With a network / node-style structure inside

Sounds simple… but it wasn’t.

So we tested both tools — Claude Designs and ChatGPT — step by step, using real prompts, real iterations.

Here’s exactly how it went.

🧪 What We Were Trying to Achieve

• Brain silhouette (not abstract blob)
• Proper hexagons (not weird shapes pretending to be hexagons)
• Uneven sizes (to make it look natural)
• Small nodes + connecting lines (like a neural network)

🔷 Part 1: Our Experience with Claude Designs

Step 1: Starting with the Basic Idea

Prompt: “I want to create a logo for my product, BotSpot. I have attached a reference image. I want variations in that, like instead of triangle shapes designed in the logo, I want 1 Hexagon Variation design and 1 Pentagon variation design. For each variation, I want to color 5 variations that are best for the AI product logo. Here is my product info https://botspot.us/”

Result:

What I felt: At first, we actually liked the output.

• It gave multiple variations quickly.
• Colors were quite nice (better than expected)
• Good for getting ideas

But… the shapes didn’t really feel “accurate”.

It looked more like inspiration, not something I could actually use.

Step 2: Trying to Control the Structure

Prompt: “The outline shape of the logo is similar to a brain, and the shapes inside it. See here, I am attaching PNG, make proper main icon, same will remain same as reference brain, just change shapes inside it.”

Result:

What we noticed: This is where things started going off.

• The brain shape wasn’t really clear.
• It kind of ignored the “brain” vs “chat bubble” issue
• Internal shapes didn’t follow the structure properly

It felt like the AI understood some part, but not the full idea.

Step 3: Giving Very Clear Instructions

Prompt: “These variations do not match my idea. I want a human brain shape, not a chat or filled pattern.

Create a human brain-shaped icon using geometric shapes arranged like a mosaic.

The shapes should be hexagons, with uneven sizes and slightly different orientations. Arrange them to form a clear brain silhouette, similar to a segmented polygon style.

Each hexagon should be separated with visible spacing (no overlap), creating clean gaps between shapes, which creates a node-style pattern like the reference image has. The layout should feel balanced but not perfectly symmetrical.”

Result:

My honest reaction:

• Hexagons didn’t look properly structured
• The node structure still felt off
• The brain shape wasn’t really clear
• It started looking like random icon

👉 Claude is good for ideas, but not great for precision control

🔶 Part 2: Our Experience with ChatGPT

Step 1: Starting from the Same Base Idea

Prompt: “In this image, I want Hexagons instead of triangles. See, this is a basic brain shape. I want to arrange hexagons, like triangles, set in the reference image.”

Uploaded Attachments:

Result:

What we noticed immediately:
This was already better aligned.

• It actually followed the idea of replacing triangles with hexagons
• Brain structure was still visible
• It didn’t drift into random shapes

Not perfect – but definitely closer.

Step 2: Precision Correction

Prompt: “This is better, but creates clean gaps between shapes, which creates a node-style pattern like the reference image has, with sharp edges.”

Result:

What changed:

• Shapes became sharper
• Looked more like real hexagons
• Started getting that “tech / AI” feel

This is where we saw something important:
👉 It actually improved based on feedback

Step 3: Final Push (After Multiple Tries)

Prompt:“In this icon, the hexagon shapes used do not look like hexagons, so I want the hexagon shapes to look like hexagons. Also, I want a node-style structure, which is created here. I want uneven hexagons, but they must look like hexagons. I want hexagons like the second image I have attached.”

Result:

Final feeling:
This was what we had in mind.

• Proper hexagon shapes
• Uneven but still clean
• Node-style structure visible
• Brain shape maintained

⚖️ Comparison

Conclusion

The real difference isn’t the first result – it’s how the AI reacts when you correct it.
👉 Claude is great for ideas and color inspiration
👉ChatGPT is better for control and step-by-step refinement

Claude helps you think. ChatGPT helps you build.
