# NestQuest — logo generation prompt

For Midjourney, DALL·E, Ideogram, Firefly, or similar. Ideogram handles lettering best;
Midjourney gives the best mark quality but mangles text — for MJ, generate the **mark only**
and set the wordmark in Cinzel Decorative yourself.

## Primary prompt (mark + wordmark)

> Logo design for "NestQuest", a family chore-quest app displayed on a wall-mounted
> touchscreen. A twenty-sided die seen face-on as a flat hexagonal silhouette, sitting at
> the exact centre of a compass rose. The compass rose has four long cardinal points and
> four shorter intercardinal points radiating outward as clean tapered spikes, in the style
> of a medieval quest-map marker or Dungeons & Dragons faction sigil. The d20's internal
> facet lines are drawn as thin geometric strokes, and a capital letter N is formed by
> those facet lines within the die face. Beneath the mark, the word "NestQuest" in an
> engraved Roman capital serif with strong flared serifs, letterspaced, similar to Cinzel
> Decorative.
> Colour: a smooth diagonal gradient from deep cobalt indigo #3B3AB8 to vivid magenta-purple
> #A035CC, on a plain warm parchment cream background #f0e4c7. No other colours.
> Flat vector illustration, bold confident uniform line weight, no gradients other than the
> brand gradient, no shading, no 3D, no bevels, no drop shadows, no photorealism.
> Perfectly symmetrical, centred, generous margin. Crisp, high contrast, legible at small size.
> --no photo, realistic, 3d render, texture, noise, gloss, mockup, watermark, extra text, bird, nest, eggs

## Mark-only variant (recommended for Midjourney)

> Compass rose with a twenty-sided die at its centre, flat hexagonal die silhouette, four
> long cardinal points and four short intercardinal points as tapered spikes, thin geometric
> facet lines inside the die forming a capital letter N, flat vector, bold uniform stroke
> weight, single diagonal gradient from #3B3AB8 to #A035CC, plain cream #f0e4c7 background,
> centred, perfectly symmetrical, medieval quest-map marker / D&D faction sigil style,
> minimal, no text, legible as a small app icon.
> --no text, letters, photo, 3d, shading, texture, watermark, bird, nest

## Variations to try alongside it

**A. Ring-bound** — same composition, with a thin circular ring binding the eight compass
points, die centred inside the ring. Reads more like a seal or coin.

**B. Four-point only** — drop the intercardinal spikes; four long cardinal points only,
die at centre. Simpler, stronger at favicon size.

**C. Die as the rose** — no separate die shape; the compass points radiate directly from a
hexagonal centre so the die and the rose are one continuous form. The most distinctive, the
hardest to get right.

**D. N-forward** — the capital N is the dominant element, filling the die face with heavy
flared strokes, compass points small and subordinate. Reads as a monogram first.

## Constraints to keep whatever you generate on-brand

| | |
|---|---|
| Gradient | `135deg, #3B3AB8 → #A035CC` — nothing else |
| Parchment | `#f0e4c7` background, `#2b1f14` if ink is needed |
| Wordmark face | Cinzel Decorative 700/900, letterspaced ~0.01em |
| Forbidden | warm brand colours (orange/red/yellow), emoji, 3D renders, bevels, long shadows, textures, mascots |
| Must survive | 1-colour print, 64px favicon, and white-on-gradient inversion |

## When you have a result

Drop the file into this project and I'll trace it into clean SVG, build the lockup with the
Cinzel wordmark, produce the horizontal / stacked / icon-only variants, and add it to the
panel's attract screen in place of the current d20-and-rules wordmark row.
