BRAND ASSET RESEARCH · Workflow idea
For a directory or content project authorized to display the target brands, collect candidate icons from permitted public image sources and compare resolution, clarity, and apparent relevance. Follow source terms, avoid exposing private URLs, verify brand authenticity and reuse rights, treat quality scores as provisional, and have a site or brand owner select and approve the exact image before it appears publicly.
01 / The starting point
A public domain selected for a directory or other authorized listing
“Find a clear icon candidate without implying endorsement or using assets without permission.”
02 / The work
Helps teams compare website icon and logo candidates for quality and visual relevance.
Verify the website is in scope and the requester may create the listing.
Keep each image linked to its source and avoid unnecessary tracking.
Treat automated rankings as suggestions and flag generic or mismatched images.
Confirm the image is appropriate for the intended directory or publication.
Require a human to confirm the exact image and its public use.
03 / The result
A ranked set of icon candidates with source links, quality notes, and owner approval status.
People & hiring · Example outcome
A ranked set of icon candidates with source links, quality notes, and owner approval status.
A visually strong image may be unofficial, outdated, or restricted by licensing terms. Check the source and brand, avoid presenting a score as proof of authenticity, confirm usage permission and attribution, and get owner approval before adding an image to a public listing.
04 / Make it yours
A few choices shape the work around your team.
Limit lookups to permitted public domains and reputable image sources.
Document minimum clarity and when candidates must be rejected.
Keep licensing, attribution, and retrieval date with each candidate.
Prevent a ranked image from being published without owner approval.
