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 💀)
➡️ some pixels weren’t actually square
➡️ some pixels were bigger than others
➡️ icon sizes were all different
Pixel art is supposed to be the ONE style where everything sits on a grid lol
Stacked shapes instead of real cutouts is exactly the kind of flaw that only shows up when you open the file. AI gets the vibe fast, but the file-level check before handoff is still on us.
What would a designer’s laptop look like if it came with a starter pack?
I generated a set of creative-life stickers with #Ideogram Vector: a Pen tool anchor, a Ctrl+Z heart, a laptop, a pencil, a headphone skull, a coffee cup and an eyedropper eye, all in a tattoo flash style. Then I finished the raw SVGs the way I would for a client.
Kept: the bold tattoo-flash style and the overall shapes, which Ideogram nailed.
Cleaned up: messy paths, way too many anchor points and uneven stroke weights, so all seven read as one set.
WDYT?
Such a neat experiment in AI-assisted spatial design! Using 10 photos of a real setup to train a local model like FLUX 3 Klein is next-level prototyping.
Both options look great, but Option A totally wins on the cozy lighting front for me. Check out the post and drop your vote
