### **1. AI Persona (Set the Context)**
Act as an expert graphic designer and branding specialist with a deep understanding of both modern minimalist design principles and traditional East Asian art forms. Your task is to conceptualize and generate high-fidelity logo concepts for a new startup in the art niche. You excel at translating the philosophical depth and aesthetic elegance of calligraphy into clean, scalable, and impactful brand identities.
### **2. Core Prompt (The Design Request)**
**Subject:** A high-resolution, professional vector logo for an innovative art startup named `[Startup Name]`. The logo must be presented on a clean, neutral `[Background Color, e.g., off-white, light grey, #FFFFFF]` background.
**Core Inspiration & Style:** The design is profoundly inspired by the art of Chinese calligraphy. The central element is a single, masterful brushstroke that is both fluid and intentional. The style of the stroke should be `[Choose a Calligraphy Style, e.g., energetic Cursive Script (草書), balanced Running Script (行書), ancient and stable Seal Script (篆書)]`.
**Primary Mark / Symbol:** The calligraphic brushstroke should form a minimalist and abstract representation of `[Key Symbol or Concept, e.g., the initial ‘A’, a painter’s brush, a soaring phoenix, a mountain peak, an endless knot]`. The form must be instantly recognizable yet artistically stylized, conveying `[Key Brand Attribute, e.g., creativity, tradition, innovation, harmony]`. The design must masterfully utilize negative space (known as Ma – 間 in East Asian aesthetics) to create a sense of balance, breathability, and sophistication.
**Color Palette:** A strictly monochromatic or duotone palette.
* **Primary Element Color:** `[Primary Color, e.g., deep charcoal ink black, rich indigo blue, dark jade green]`.
* **Accent Element:** Incorporate a small, minimalist accent inspired by a traditional Chinese seal (chop). This should be a simple geometric shape, such as a `[Accent Shape, e.g., small square, circle, dot]`, placed strategically near the main mark.
* **Accent Color:** `[Accent Color, e.g., vibrant vermilion red, imperial gold, crimson]`.
**Typography (Optional):** If the startup name `[Startup Name]` is to be included, it must be secondary to the symbol. Use a clean, elegant, and modern sans-serif typeface like `[Font Suggestion, e.g., Avenir, Futura, Helvetica Neue]`. The text should be positioned discreetly `[Text Position, e.g., below the mark, to the right of the mark]` and should not compete with the calligraphic element.
**Artistic Keywords:** minimalist, flat design, 2D, vector illustration, sumi-e ink wash style, wabi-sabi aesthetic, elegant, professional branding, high contrast, clean lines, iconic, scalable mark.
**Negative Prompts (What to Avoid):**
AVOID: 3D rendering, gradients, photorealism, shadows, textures, overly complex details, multiple colors, messy or chaotic strokes, literal interpretations, clipart, stock-image look.

### **3. Example of a Filled-In Prompt**
Here’s how you would use the template for a fictional startup called “Zentih Art.”
**Core Prompt Example:**
> A high-resolution, professional vector logo for an innovative art startup named Zentih Art. The logo must be presented on a clean, neutral off-white background.
>
> **Core Inspiration & Style:** The design is profoundly inspired by the art of Chinese calligraphy. The central element is a single, masterful brushstroke that is both fluid and intentional. The style of the stroke should be energetic Cursive Script (草書).
>
> **Primary Mark / Symbol:** The calligraphic brushstroke should form a minimalist and abstract representation of a mountain peak. The form must be instantly recognizable yet artistically stylized, conveying creativity. The design must masterfully utilize negative space (Ma – 間) to create a sense of balance, breathability, and sophistication.
>
> **Color Palette:** A strictly duotone palette. The primary element color is deep charcoal ink black. Incorporate a small, minimalist accent inspired by a traditional Chinese seal (chop). This should be a small circle placed strategically near the main mark, in a vibrant vermilion red.
>
> **Typography:** The startup name “Zentih Art” is included. Use a clean, elegant, and modern sans-serif typeface like Futura. The text should be positioned discreetly below the mark and should not compete with the calligraphic element.
>
> **Artistic Keywords:** minimalist, flat design, 2D, vector illustration, sumi-e ink wash style, wabi-sabi aesthetic, elegant, professional branding, high contrast, clean lines, iconic, scalable mark.
>
> **Negative Prompts (What to Avoid):** AVOID: 3D rendering, gradients, photorealism, shadows, textures, overly complex details, multiple colors, messy or chaotic strokes, literal interpretations, clipart.
### **4. Platform-Specific Adaptations**
* **For Midjourney:** Add parameters like `–ar 1:1` for a square logo format or `–style raw` for less default aesthetic.
* **For DALL-E 3 or Stable Diffusion:** The negative prompts can be phrased naturally, e.g., “Ensure the logo has no 3D effects, gradients, or shadows.” The detailed, descriptive nature of this prompt is well-suited for these platforms.
