Round 1 · Brand kit in the focused creation prompt

Eight ways the Brand kit setting lives in the focused “Start your next presentation” card. Each shows the full card chrome, Coca-Cola pre-selected, and the picker open. Moda-style palette dots feature in most; two test dots-free treatments.

Cumulative spec (round 1): Full card chrome kept (title · dashed field · toolbar · Create · suggestions) · Design system locked (Inter · Phosphor · navy #005EFF action · ink #171717 button · orange #FF5500 = Pro/upsell only · 4px pills · 6px card) · A kit shown selected (Coca-Cola) · Collapsed + open picker both shown.

Lowest friction. Reads as one more deck setting; dots give a glanceable identity. Risk: a 4th pill crowds the toolbar.

02Moda header chip Kit sits above the field as a hero chip — closest to Moda.

Most prominent. Frames the whole deck as “in your brand” before you type. Risk: top-billing a setting most repeat users won’t change each time.

03In-field applied tag Kit reads as applied context inside the prompt, like an attachment.

Feels like an attachment. The kit is “added” to this prompt and removable inline — natural beside file drops. Risk: competes with typed text for the same space.

Zero-click discovery. All kits visible as palettes; great for showing off the feature in FTUE. Risk: heaviest footprint, doesn’t scale past ~4 kits.

05Tinted theme header Card top wears the kit’s palette — a live “your deck will look like this” band.

Most expressive. You feel the brand before generating; palette grid doubles as a preview. Risk: a coloured band fights the monochrome system + the dark Create button.

06Dots-only minimal Palette cluster + caret is the entire pill; name lives in the open state.

Tightest footprint. Pure palette signature, keeps the toolbar calm. Risk: a colour cluster with no label may not read as “brand kit” to first-timers.

07Pro-gated upsell Free user: kit pill is locked; opening it sells Pro (orange = upsell).

The gate. Locked pill + palette-teaser popover turns the setting into an upsell surface. Orange reserved strictly for the Pro moment.

08Merged “Style” control One pill = kit + auto-mood (spec: mood drives the palette). Popover splits the two.

Truest to the spec. Bundles kit + mood since mood drives the palette — one decision, not two. Risk: conflates two concepts a user may want apart.
