How to Create App Icons with a Simple MidJourney Prompt

This is how how I use MidJourney to create icons for my apps:

I’ve been using MidJourney to create icons for my apps and the results have been very pleasing…

The biggest mistake I see people make is trying to describe the icon subject in too much detail. This seems to confuse MidJourney

Instead, the prompt should mostly be used to define the shape and style. Only use a few words to describe the subject itself

And most of all: keep asking MidJourney to redraw new icons until you get the desired result…

The prompt:

“rounded edges square mobile app logo design, flat vector, minimalistic, icon of <enter keywords here>”

Here’s some examples:
