Ideas for a simple logo
Never use real personal data. If you need to, run it through the data cleaner.
I have a [type of business or project] called [name] and I want to convey [values]. Suggest 5 simple logo ideas (symbol, typeface and colours), explain each in two sentences and write a description for each that I can use in an image generator. Don’t copy existing brands.
What result to expect
Five logo ideas with an explanation and a description for an image generator. Use them as a starting point and check they don’t resemble a registered trademark.
Example
Business: a local bakery called “The Ear of Wheat”, values closeness and tradition. Result: 5 ideas (a simply drawn ear of wheat, initials in a rounded typeface…), each with a description for an image generator.
Useful variations
- Ask for “single-colour versions” for stamps and invoices.
- Ask which idea will look best at a small size.
Common mistakes
- Using the result without checking it doesn’t resemble a registered trademark.
- Asking for a very detailed logo: it can’t be made out at small sizes.
Getting the most out of it
- Paste the prompt as is and only replace what is in [brackets].
- If the answer does not fit, do not start over: ask for “shorter”, “more formal” or “as a table”.
- Always review the result before using it: AI can get facts, dates or names wrong.
Before you paste it: quick checklist
- Describe style, light, framing and colours in short sentences.
- State the format: portrait, landscape or square.
- Don’t upload photos of other people without their permission.
- If the result isn’t right, change one element at a time.
How to adapt it to your assistant
The template works the same in ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot or Claude because it only uses plain language. If your assistant supports fixed instructions (custom instructions, Gems or projects), you can store your preferred tone and format there and paste only the variable part. On a free plan, split long requests into two or three shorter messages.

Templates for generating images and creative text by describing clearly what you want. The more specific the description (style, light, framing, colours), the easier it is to get it right first time. Respect image rights and don’t use other people’s photos without permission.
