What this prompt does
This prompt generates ready-to-paste Midjourney prompts for a professional app icon and logo. You describe the product with [app_name], [app_category], [target_audience], [brand_personality], and [brand_colors], and it produces five distinct icon styles, a wordmark prompt, platform-specific sizing guidance, refinement workflows, and design-system integration notes.
The structure gives you variety plus rationale. It writes complete Midjourney prompts for five styles — minimal geometric, dimensional 3D, abstract symbol, outlined line art, and bold/playful — each filled with your [brand_colors] and shaped by [brand_personality], and each explained: why the style fits [app_category], which competitors use it, and how to differentiate. The [primary_shape] variable seeds a recognizable motif, and [stylize] sets the --s parameter that controls how artistic Midjourney gets. It also includes a negative-prompt list (no text, no letters) because icons need to read at 16px, where text turns to mush.
When to use it
- When a product needs an app icon and logo before launch and you want options to choose from.
- To explore five different icon directions quickly instead of committing to one idea.
- When you need the same mark adapted for iOS, Android, favicon, and social profile sizes.
- To get a monochrome or dark-mode variant for embossing and watermarks.
- When you want Midjourney parameters explained, not just pasted.
Example output
You get five complete Midjourney prompts (one per icon style), each annotated with why it suits the category, competitor references, and a breakdown of the --s, --c, and --w parameters. Then a wordmark prompt combining the icon with [app_name], platform-specific guidance for iOS, Android adaptive icons, favicon, social crops, and dark mode, a post-generation refinement workflow (upscaling, variations, inpainting), and design-system integration notes covering palette extraction and typography pairing. A negative-prompt block lists what to avoid.
Pro tips
- Set
[brand_colors]with actual hex codes; Midjourney follows a named palette far more reliably than "blue and green." - Use
[primary_shape]to seed a memorable motif (a flowing loop, a hexagon) so the five styles share a recognizable idea. - Tune
[stylize]to taste: lower--skeeps icons clean and literal, higher values get more artistic but less controllable. The 750 default is a balanced start. - Keep the negative prompt — generating without text or letters is what keeps the icon legible when it scales down to a 16px favicon.
- Generate variations, then pick the one that survives every size; I always test the mark at 16px before falling in love with it at 1024px.
- Use
[refinement_note]to request extras like a monochrome version for watermarks in the same run.
