Goal Diggers: 30 ChatGPT Hockey Jerseys in 30 Days
Welcome to the seventh installment of the series! Day 7 of 30. This particular concept revolved around the common team name of ‘Goal Diggers‘. A big burly miner swinging that axe around digging for goals.
How We Prompted ChatGPT
This is the exact prompt we used to start the process of generating the logo featured in this post.
‘I want to make a logo for a hockey team called ‘Goal Diggers’ – want it to be a mascot logo in a modern style. Want the crest to be a symmetrical triangle in shape. For the logo mascot, please make it look like a typical coal miner in terms of what they wear in the mines. Have him swinging a pickaxe. Have coal piles and evidence of digging where the coal was by the feet. Should be wearing ice hockey skates, ice hockey gloves. Pick colors for me. Please only use a maximum of 5 to 6 contrasting hex colors for the logo. Logo only, don’t include the text please. Color should be clean sharp/smooth and polished, not grainy or mottled, no gradients blends or soft edges.’

Final logo and uniform 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.
