AI-Powered Icon Generator CLI for Mobile App Developers

Overview

Axiom AI is a powerful Command Line Interface (CLI) tool designed to streamline the creation of professional, high-quality mobile app icons.

Powered by OpenAI image generation models, Axiom AI enables developers to generate custom icons in multiple styles and resolutions using simple natural-language descriptions, directly from the terminal.

The tool is optimized for speed, consistency, and developer experience, making it suitable for both rapid prototyping and production-ready workflows.

Prompts

1. Axiom AI Icon

Create a modern, high-quality app icon for a CLI tool named “Axiom AI”.
The icon should be inspired by a terminal welcome banner.

Design style:
- Futuristic and professional
- Dark background similar to a terminal screen
- Bold typography inspired by ANSI Shadow / ASCII art text
- The text “Axiom AI” should feel carved, layered, or shadowed like terminal banner fonts
- Apply a smooth gradient flowing left to right using electric blue, purple, and soft red tones
- Subtle glow and neon highlights, but not flashy
- Clean, minimal, developer-centric aesthetic

Visual elements:
- Terminal or command-line atmosphere
- Soft light reflections on the text
- Balanced spacing with strong contrast
- No clutter, no additional symbols unless abstract and minimal

Composition:
- Centered layout
- Full-bleed icon
- Optimized for clarity at small sizes
- Professional, premium, AI-driven branding

Output:
- Crisp edges
- Flat or slightly 3D depth
- Suitable for macOS, Windows, and mobile app icons
