Situation

Need a logo for Niscient LLC. Use for this website and as avatar on many others (e.g., Github).

Task

Use GenAI to mold a logo. Then modify by hand to suit.

Action

Play with Composition using GenAI

  1. Wanted a fox to be the centerpiece.
  2. Simple enough for a logo, but with a little texture.
  3. Used Craiyon:
    1. Started with prompt: ‘fox logo geometric’.

    2. Experimented with keywords.

    3. Evolved to final prompt: ‘elegant logo featuring a fox silhouette on a dark background’.

Clean Up and Create Variations

Used GIMP.

  1. Removed background.
  2. Simplified foreground to remove most shading.
  3. Cleaned a lot of edges manually.
  4. Created color variations.
