claude-design-system-prompt vs Illustration: Vintage Emblem (Meng To)

Tied at 4/5 on the same brief. Pick by fit: the rows below show where each one is stronger.

Both built the Tally landing page in the same Claude Code test. Shared tasks: Visual direction.

claude-design-system-prompt

4/5

This system prompt moves Tally to a cool grey-and-ink look with Bricolage Grotesque, Geist and a lime marker, and the dashboard is clean and well organized. One contrast bug on the closing CTA keeps it from a higher score.

Illustration: Vintage Emblem (Meng To)

4/5

The Vintage Emblem skill gives Tally a heritage badge, a sealed envelope inside a stamped emblem, and builds a print-shop brand around it: Anton capitals, Libre Caslon text, cream stock, deep forest ink and terracotta. The dashboard wears the same badge and colors, with Oswald headings. Pick it for brands that want craft, trust and a little nostalgia.

Flaws we saw	landing, desktop and mobile: in the closing CTA the highlighted word "counted." is dark ink on the dark band, so most of it disappears took the longest after hallmark and taste (285 s landing, 263 s dashboard) and used a subagent	the runs are slow and costly next to the web-design skills, because the badge is drawn in SVG dashboard: the tan and terracotta bars are close in tone
