Design an app icon or icon set
App icons and consistent icon sets with style rules and prompts.
The prompt
Design an app icon (or an icon set).
App or brand: [NAME, what it does]
Concept and feeling: [e.g. "fast, energetic, premium"]
Colors: [BRAND COLORS or "suggest"]
Platform: [iOS / Android / macOS / web favicon / icon set for UI]
Style: [flat, gradient, glassy/3D, line, duotone]
For an app icon, give 3 concepts — each a single strong symbol that's readable at small sizes — and for each: the idea, composition, palette, lighting/depth, and an AI image prompt (1024×1024, centered within a safe zone, no text, no tiny details).
For an icon set: style rules (grid, stroke width, corner radius, fill rules) and the list of icons with descriptions, so the set stays consistent.
Check the platform's icon guidelines before final export.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
