How to generate a logo with AI

Start to finish — brief, prompt, tools, iteration 🪺

Most AI logos look generic because the prompts have no direction. Here's the full process for getting something that actually works — from deciding what you want to directing the AI like an art director.

🪺 Step 1: Three decisions before you open any app

**Feeling** — What should someone feel in 3 seconds? Trusted. Playful. Serious. Approachable. One word. Not four.

**Elements** — Wordmark, icon, or combo? Pick the container, then strip everything that isn't the core idea. A good logo has one idea.

**Context** — Your logo will be a 32px favicon and a 400px profile pic. If it doesn't work small, it doesn't work. Design for the smallest version first.

🪺 Step 2: Use this prompt framework

Style + Feeling + Elements + Constraints.

`A [style] logo for [business name], a [what you do]. Feeling: [one word]. Include: [specific element]. No gradients. No shadows. Vector-ready.`

🪺 Step 3: The honest tool shortlist

**Midjourney** — best aesthetics, worst editability

**Adobe Firefly** — cleanest vectors, needs real direction

**ChatGPT + DALL·E** — fastest iteration, most forgiving

Start with ChatGPT. Move to Midjourney when you know what you want.

🪺 Step 4: Don't regenerate. Direct.

"Make it more minimal." "Thicken the letterforms." "Wordmark only — remove the icon."

You're the art director. The AI is the team. A confused AI isn't broken — it's under-briefed.

Build the brief first. Then open the app. 🍋

Sundays — prompts. Wednesdays — builds. 🪺
