The exact JSON prompt I use to generate premium 3D icons in 60 seconds with Nano Banana 2.

Thanks for grabbing this — let's get you making icons.


âš¡ Quick Start (3 steps)

  1. Open Nano Banana 2 on wherever you like (could be Higgsfield, flora, api etc)
  2. Copy the prompt below and replace [your thing] with what you want (e.g. coffee shop, bike, mountain cabin)
  3. Paste and generate — you'll get a clean isometric icon in ~60 seconds

That's it. No fine-tuning. No Midjourney syntax gymnastics.

🔑 How to replace [your thing]

Just swap it with a simple noun or short phrase. The prompt handles the rest.

Examples that work well:

Replace with What you get
coffee shop Cozy café icon with cup, steam, counter
bike rental Clean bike with parking stand
co-working space Desk, laptop, plant arrangement
surf school Surfboard + wave + palm
mountain cabin Log cabin with trees and smoke
yoga studio Mat, candle, minimal plant
pet grooming Dog, brush, bath elements
wine bar Bottle, glass, grapes

Tip: Lifestyle / service / product nouns work best. Avoid abstract concepts ("innovation", "trust") — stick to concrete objects or places.
