Dead Rabbits: 30 ChatGPT Hockey Jerseys in 30 Days
The What
We’re now on the eighth installment in the series! Day 8 of 30. This particular concept revolved around a team we dubbed the ‘Dead Rabbits‘. Over the years we’ve done several customer renditions for ‘Dead Rabbits’ with different design directions, a few in particular referencing the movie Gangs of New York – this helped spark this idea.
How We Prompted ChatGPT
Here’s the exact prompt we used to get the logo image you see within this post.
‘I want to make a logo – want it to be a mascot logo in a vintage/modern style. The logo can also have a border with one or two outlines. For the logo mascot, can it be a rabbit skeleton playing hockey? Should have ice hockey gloves and ice hockey skates but the body that is posed should be just bones. Choose colors for me that are contrasting. Please only use a maximum of 5 hex colors for the logo. Logo only, don’t include the text please.’

Logo and jersey concept
For most use cases, we went with the minimal mascot style logo direction. ChatGPT knows what this is and will mimic the style pretty well. This ensures flat and clean lines with no shading or soft edges. That’s important, we’ll explain why. The final artwork needs to be this way so that we can create a vector image out of the PNG file that ChatGPT provides to you after it renders your ideas. We take the file and load it into a vectorization tool (we recommend vectorizer.ai and Vector Magic to accomplish this on your own – otherwise we can do that step for you after you order – you’re also free to explore other options) to separate the shapes into vectors so that we can colorize freely. This also ensures that we are able to scale the artwork without the loss of resolution. More on that here.
You can request a crest shape to act as a container for your logo, or explicitly ask to not include one. At times we asked for no crest shape since we wanted to have control on that piece on our end after the logo is created. You can also prompt ChatGPT for suggestions – it can really help steer your creative direction.
Be sure to direct the prompt with specific information if you have it – like what sort of emotion you want, what pose, overall shape, and what items the logo should have (i.e. hockey gloves, hockey skates, hockey stick, etc.).
