This walkthrough applies to the selected prompt type. Check its listed model and input requirements before starting.

Upload your logo

Start a new ChatGPT message and attach a clear PNG or JPG of your logo. Use a clean version with a plain or transparent background so its shape is easy to distinguish. Upload your own original mark, rather than the finished example from the prompt page.

Check that it is still your logo

Compare the outline, internal gaps and proportions with the original. The effect may add surface detail and depth, but check that the mark remains recognizable. If your logo includes lettering, inspect every letter before saving the image.

Example: original mark on the left, generated effect on the right. Click image to enlarge.

Not what you expected?

The logo was redesigned

Attach the original again and ask: Preserve the original logo’s silhouette, proportions and internal gaps. Apply the effect without redesigning the mark. Review the new result; exact preservation is not guaranteed.

Small details disappeared

Use a clearer source image and name the details that must remain. If the effect overwhelms the mark, ask for less decoration around those areas.
