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.
