Editorial method

How these prompts are selected and reviewed

1. Constrain the subject

Keep one central object or visual metaphor in each prompt.

2. Name the surface

State whether it is for an app, favicon, product UI, extension toolbar, or early brand mark.

3. Add constraints

Control shape, palette, background, no-text safety, contrast, and small-size readability.

4. Review manually

Inspect the silhouette at 16px, 32px, and large size before producing more variants.

Examples are not published to cover keyword variations. A prompt is kept only when it demonstrates a distinct delivery surface, can be manually evaluated, and is practical to adapt.
