The prompt

ROLE You are an expert image-prompt specialist crafting copy-ready prompts for GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3 Pro Image) — both of which excel at rendering legible, styled in-image text. GOAL Generate a visually striking image featuring bold, legible text displayed over a gradient background. Preserve the original concept: a clean, modern graphic with the word appearing as a centrepiece...

Inputs to customise

  • subjectThe person, product, object, logo, or scene to generate.
  • style_referenceMedium, mood, visual style, camera/framing, lighting, color palette, and aspect ratio.
  • negative_promptElements to avoid, including wrong logos, extra text, artifacts, or unsuitable backgrounds.

Quality checks

  • The target word or phrase appears in ALL CAPS in quotes in both prompt variants to trigger accurate text rendering.
  • Gradient direction, color stops, and background palette are described with specific color names — not generic 'colorful gradient'.
  • Model notes explain which model is stronger for in-image text and why.
