How to design LOGO to prevent being pitted?

Indeed, my mind map is not very beautiful, and my thinking is simply divergent. When designing the whole mind map from a keyword, everyone should try to spread it out, find more possibilities, and don't limit their own thinking.

Although the picture is ugly, it does not prevent me from getting some useful keywords:

Monkey-monkey head, hat, cute, big-eared monkey, eyes, look out …

Using these keywords, I have to start looking for "inspiration" and visualize my thoughts. There is the next step-drawing a sketch.

Tools: white paper, pencil, Internet. Paper and pencil are the simplest and best tools for sketching. Your mind will not be restricted by various computer operations, and your posture will be more open and comfortable. The so-called inspiration is actually to find a point that meets your needs and then express it. Now, the internet is the most direct way to get inspiration-because we can't imagine everything out of thin air, especially when our thinking is limited to a certain point, we need to rely on various pictures to open our minds, and the internet is naturally the most convenient place to find pictures. But it doesn't necessarily mean that designing a logo means appreciating all kinds of beautiful logos. You can click in directly, such as photography, painting, advertising design, clothing … not to mention copying a logo directly, but looking for pictures related to what you want according to your keywords. To be honest, because I am not an art major, I can't imagine what some of the keywords above will look like. I will Google the pictures of monkeys hanging upside down in trees to see what posture they are in; See what the monkey will look like if he wears a hat; See how to express a monkey in the form of a cartoon.
