Reusable AI prompts for generating coherent icons across line, shape, material, and color treatments.

Quick start

  1. Choose a style in the gallery.
  2. Open its prompt and replace the template variables with your subject and constraints.
  3. Run the prompt in an AI image tool that supports the required reference image.
  4. Compare the result with the source and the checks before using it.

Recorded examples used English prompts. Other localized templates are translations and have not been independently tested; outputs can vary.

Prompts

Rounded Outline

Turn different subjects into a coherent set of friendly outlined icons.

AILesson ↗

Copy prompt
Generate one general-purpose icon.
Subject: {{subject}}
Meaning and use: {{meaning}}
Dominant color: {{color}}

Use the attached example icon only as a style reference. Preserve its rounded geometric shapes, deep navy #25324a outlines and compact, friendly silhouette; do not copy the reference subject. Use sparse details readable at 64px. One dominant color and no more than two supporting colors, including one small lime #b7f34a accent. Flat matte colors, no visible gradients, shadows, glow, gloss or 3D.
Square canvas, at least 1024 × 1024, centered subject with 12–18% working space. Opaque pure white #ffffff background for later removal. One connected visual metaphor; no words, letters, numbers, logos, people, loose decorations or additional objects. Deliver a single image, not a grid. Background removal and 512px transparent PNG export are separate steps.

All three displayed examples now keep a white background. The book was regenerated using the camera as a style reference. The camera and plant retain their original generation records, referencing the older book image kept in the assets. Save any current example with your filled prompt; Chinese prompts remain untested.

Monoline

Make airy contour icons with consistent strokes for documents and presentations.

AILesson ↗

Copy prompt
Create one monoline icon illustration.
Subject: {{subject}}
Meaning and use: {{meaning}}
Dominant color: {{color}}

Uniform medium-thin strokes, rounded caps and joins, generous negative space. Frontal geometric contours with white interiors. Keep only essential internal details at equal stroke weight. No fills, shading, gradients, texture or perspective.

Square canvas, at least 1024 × 1024. Center one complete subject with 15% empty margin; readable at 96px. Pure opaque white background. No text, numbers, logos, watermark, frame, loose decorations or extra objects. Deliver one icon, not a sheet. If an example image is attached, use only its style; replace its subject with the requested subject.

The camera and plant were generated from the English template with the recorded inputs and no reference image. The book retains its earlier generation record. Display PNGs keep a white background. Chinese prompts and reuse with an attached example have not been tested. Save an example to guide later generations; these are fixed examples, not live results.

Solid Silhouette

Make bold single-color symbols with broad negative-space cuts.

AILesson ↗

Copy prompt
Create one solid silhouette icon illustration.
Subject: {{subject}}
Meaning and use: {{meaning}}
Dominant color: {{color}}

One solid ink color, bold unified silhouette, a few broad white negative-space cuts separating essential parts. Frontal filled shapes rather than outlines. No hairlines, gray, gradients, texture, shadows or 3D.

Square canvas, at least 1024 × 1024. Center one complete subject with 15% empty margin; readable at 96px. Pure opaque white background.
