I started working on a brand name change. ChatGPT-4 suggested 15 options, and I chose «Smena» as the most fitting name.This should be a minimalist, stylized logo featuring elements of Russian embroidery. The design should include a hammer and an actor’s mask. The color palette is limited to red (as an accent), cream shades, and gold. The composition is in the shape of a horizontal oval, with the main figures positioned in the center. Below the logo, there should be the brand name. Make it elegant and slightly decorative.
Also, create a color palette for the brand consisting of 5 colors, based on what I sent above.

The color palette and patterns used were generated with ChatGPT 4.The font was selected via MyFonts: the program determined that AI used Paragon Title.
