Would you send an AI icon set straight to a client? 👀
I tested Ideogram Vector on a pixel icon set for Yue Fang, an interior decorator with Chinese inspirations. The icon set was for her services.
After a few tries & prompt refining, Ideogram nailed the vibe!
BUT, some things needed to be reworked:
➡️ the white parts were shapes stacked on top of a solid black shape, not real cutouts (surprise when you open the SVG 💀)

Cool branding
Nice work
