Need a logo? What about an icon or graphic for your presentation?
AI is your answer. Either DALL-E (a wing of ChatGPT) and Midjourney.
I needed some icons to use in a presentation. I used DALL-E like this: “Generate a set of icons that represent code, build, test, and release. Make them monochrome and simple.”
Then I iterated on them a few times, such as: “Make the code icon look more like a file with text.” After less than five minutes, I had it — a set of four icons that I’d be using in my presentation.
Here’s what I got.
Prior to AI, I would have done a Google search and definitely found what I was looking for. However, I would have to start by eliminating all of the images that Google presented from paysites. Then, I would have to search through those left to find four that had a similar look and feel. Finally, I would have no idea which of these might be at risk to copyright or trademark issues.
Not so with DALL-E. I’m free and clear and have exactly what I wanted.
Similarly for a logo.
“Generate a 150×150 logo for a devops company named IdeaGantry. Make it rocket themed and use colors and an image that invokes trust.”
A few iterations later, here’s what I got.
DALL-E won’t replace your marketing department, but if you’re in the marketing department, you sure want to use it to help you.
