cp assets/logo.svg engine/platform/android/export/logo.svg

# 2. Generate PNG icons
convert assets/logo.svg -resize 512x512 assets/icon-512.png

# 3. Take screenshots (30 min)
# Open Studio, capture 5-8 key screens

# 4. Set up Twitter (20 min)
# Create @AeThexEngine, upload assets

# 5. Deploy landing page
# Use Vercel + Next.js template
```

## 💡 Current Status

**Branding system is READY** - Can generate/customize logos anytime from `logo-config.toml`

**Blocking items for public launch:**
- Screenshots of actual working Studio
- Demo video showing features
- Social media accounts set up
- Landing page deployed

**Not blocking:**
- Logo design is flexible (can iterate)
- Marketing materials can improve over time
- Brand identity can evolve

## 📝 Notes

- All logo editing happens in `logo-config.toml` (edit in VS Code)
- Run `python3 tools/generate_from_config.py` to regenerate
- Color palette is standardized in brand-colors.md
- Generated logos are in `assets/` folder
- Documentation explains every aspect

**Priority:** Medium (not blocking development, blocking public launch)  
**Effort:** 4-6 hours to complete all TODO items  
**Status:** Foundation complete, execution pending
