A ready‑to‑copy prompt that shows how stuffing a logo brief with unnecessary adjectives, technical specs, and brand lore inflates token usage and often degrades output quality. Use it to teach teams to trim prompts and avoid wasteful AI calls.

## prompt.txt

```text
# Context
You are a brand designer tasked with creating a logo for the startup **{{brand_name}}**.

# Task
Generate a single high‑resolution PNG logo image that follows the extremely detailed brief below.

# Prompt (to feed into the image model)
```
Create a sleek, ultra‑modern, minimalist, futuristic, eco‑friendly, hyper‑dynamic, award‑winning, globally‑recognized, trust‑building logo for '{{brand_name}}', a startup that revolutionizes renewable energy with AI‑driven micro‑grids, using a gradient of teal‑to‑emerald, subtle shadowing, and a hidden infinity symbol. The logo must be vector‑ready, include a transparent background, be 1024×1024 pixels, use CMYK 300 dpi, comply with Pantone 322C, and convey optimism, reliability, and cutting‑edge technology.
```

# Output format
- **image_file**: base64‑encoded PNG of the generated logo.
- **metadata** (JSON):
```json
{
  "brand_name": "{{brand_name}}",
  "prompt_tokens": <int>,
  "model": "{{model_name}}",
  "generation_time_sec": <float>,
  "notes": "Generated using a wasteful, overly verbose prompt."
}
```

# Quality bar
- ✅ The image is recognisable as a logo.
- ✅ Gradient transitions smoothly from teal to emerald.
- ✅ Hidden infinity symbol is detectable at 100 % zoom.
- ❌ No extra decorative elements beyond those listed.

# Constraints
- **Do NOT** truncate or simplify the prompt – keep every adjective and specification.
- Perform the generation in a **single** model call; no post‑processing.
- Use exactly the model supplied in the `{{model_name}}` slot.
- Keep the output size at 1024×1024 px and maintain the transparent background.

---
*Replace the `{{brand_name}}` and `{{model_name}}` placeholders with your actual brand name and the chosen image model before sending the prompt.*
