This is right, and the second half is what bites. Standard stock licenses generally prohibit use in a trademark or logo outright, and the extended license that permits it still gives you no exclusivity, so the image stays on sale to everyone else.
That is why logo marks get commissioned with an assignment of rights instead of bought off a stock site. You are not paying for the drawing. You are paying for nobody else being able to use it. A company that grew into a global brand on a non-exclusive stock bird got lucky that nobody claimed it first.
Building, marketing, social, PR, blog cadence: the blog always gets bumped. Real pain. My concern though: my blog's voice doesn't fit cleanly into any of your four tone buckets. Closest is "Conversational" but the actual register is more specific (first-person maker, the kind that admits prior wrongness), and readers are partly there for that specific register. How does Blogr handle voice matching beyond surface tone? Reading existing posts is a start but the harder thing is the things you don't say. Curious whether you've found that to be a ceiling.
This is something I'm still working on. The 1st person takes have a higher hallucination rate, and I did not want to promise that for my launch. It's taking more time to refine these takes.
I know that most blogs and built-in public creators are leaning into the vulnerable side and getting a tone that would be vulnerable without it lying and creating a negative impression on readers is too risky for me to add it yet. I don't want it to say, "I crashed my site yesterday," and users think, "Whoa, this is not a viable product."
I've noticed in 4.7, I have to regularly say, just say done when done. Otherwise I get 15min loaded recaps in followup responses. 4.7 seems overly chatty vs lower models
As a designer and creative director, I use Adobe Color and Pinterest for client branding/re-brand inspiration, or just straight to the pantone books. This is interesting to me as another tool. To expand the color variations, maybe get movements like Pop in there...maybe not 'masters', but would expand beyond the yellows and browns
