Create a Logo in Kaiber Canvas

Getting started

From the Canvas home page, you've got two routes in:

Starting from scratch? Click Create Image from Text and write a prompt describing the logo you want.

Already have something to work from? Click Create Image from Image to use an existing logo, sketch or reference image as your base.

Before you do anything, check the model name at the top of the canvas. Make sure it says Nano Banana 2.

Prompting for logos

The clearer your description, the more closely the output will match your design.

"Bold and professional" doesn't tell the model much. "A geometric mountain icon, two colors, flat design, white background" does.

A solid logo prompt covers:

• The brand name if text is involved. Put it in quotes so the model knows it's text to generate, e.g. "Groundwork"

• Style direction: flat, geometric, minimalist, bold

• Color palette, or specify black and white

• Background and format: "white background," "flat design," "clean edges"

Here's what that looks like in practice:

"Minimalist flat icon logo for a coffee brand called "Groundwork", geometric coffee cup icon, black and white, white background"

Always include a background. Without it, models default to complex scenes. You can always restyle the logo later.

Stick to one or two visual elements. If your prompt describes more than two distinct components, cut one before generating.

Iterating in Canvas

You don't need to nail everything in one prompt. Generate a starting point, pick the strongest result, then refine from there. Follow-up prompts like these work well:

• "Keep everything the same but change the icon to a circle"

• "Make the palette warmer"

• "Remove the background and make the text heavier"

Change one or two things at a time. Need a different format? Add the image back into a new Create Image flow and prompt to resize or reformat it.

Starting from an image reference

Upload a reference and name it explicitly in your prompt so the model knows what to preserve:

"Using the uploaded logo as a reference, create a variation with a more geometric icon and cleaner text, flat design, black on white"

Get the core look right first, then adjust specific elements in follow-up prompts rather than describing everything at once.

What about Nano Banana Pro?

If your logo includes a brand name and getting the lettering right is the priority, Nano Banana Pro handles text more reliably. The prompting approach is the same.

Generating logos with Recraft

Recraft responds better to short, structured prompts. Skip words like "soft" or "organic" and use structural terms: geometric, flat, clean lines, symmetrical.

"A flat logo for "Drift", single wave icon, black and white, minimal, white background"

Recraft SVG outputs a scalable file with clean edges at any size. Good for anything that needs to work at both favicon and banner scale. If you're not sure how to describe the look you want, upload a style reference image and describe what you like about it in your prompt.

Quick tips

• Be specific with color. "Navy blue" and "warm terracotta" give the model more to work with than "blue"

• Use negative prompts. "No shadows," "no gradients," "no text" cut unwanted additions without over-explaining

• Generate a few variations first, then pick the strongest before refining
