How should I prompt AI to create a logo for custom merchandise?

When using AI to create a logo, the more specific your instructions, the better! Focus on creating clean, simple artwork rather than asking AI to simulate how the logo will look on a finished product.

Try this AI logo prompt:

"Create a clean, flat, 2D logo featuring [your company name or design concept]. Use bold, readable text, simple shapes, clean outlines, and a limited color palette. Avoid gradients, shadows, textures, 3D effects, and intricate details. Use a plain background."

For the best results:

• Request flat, 2D artwork.
• Choose bold, easy-to-read fonts.
• Keep colors to a minimum.
• Use clean outlines and simple shapes.
• Avoid unnecessary decorative details.

Helpful tip: Rather than asking AI to make an "embroidered logo" or "screen-printed logo," ask for a flat logo design. AI may add simulated stitching, textures, or printing effects that won't accurately represent the finished decoration.
