What you will get

Six app icon ideas on rounded squares in a 3x2 grid, each a bold simple symbol in a different colour scheme, with no text and designed to remain clear at small sizes.

Common mistake

Icons are too detailed.

Fix: Ask for one shape per icon with thick lines. Fine detail disappears at 32 pixels, as the tip warns.

Also watch for

They all look alike. Write six different ideas in the prompt, so each icon starts from a distinct symbol.
The icon copies a known logo. Search for similar marks before you adopt one, and avoid shapes that look like a well-known brand.

Try a variation: make a monochrome set

Ask for the same ideas in a single colour on a white background, for use in browser tabs and small toolbars.
