Recraft V4.1 examples: logos, packaging, icons and more
Seven images we made with Recraft V4.1 Pro at about 2048 px. Every brand here is invented for the example, so swap in your own name, colors and product. Tap Use this prompt on any tile to start from it.
Brand mark at 1:1. A coffee bean and two peaks merge into one emblem over a condensed wordmark, in two flat colors with wide margins. Swap in your own name and tagline.
Logo design for a fictional mountain coffee roaster named "NORTH RIDGE ROASTERS": a bold geometric emblem where a single coffee bean splits into two snowy mountain peaks, the wordmark set below in a heavy geometric sans serif with wide letter spacing, and a small line "SMALL BATCH SINCE 1998" underneath, two flat colors only, deep forest green and warm cream, perfectly centered on a plain cream background with generous negative space, crisp vector edges, no gradients, no mockup.
Packaging shot at 4:3. One wordmark, three colorways and a different line drawing on each tin, lit like a studio product photo. Start here for label and packaging concepts.
Product packaging design shot: three tall matte tea tins for a fictional brand named "SLOW LEAF", one sage green, one plum and one saffron yellow, each printed with a minimal white botanical line drawing and the wordmark "SLOW LEAF" in a thin elegant serif, standing in a row on a pale travertine plinth, soft window light from the left with long gentle shadows, warm off white backdrop, photoreal studio product photography, crisp label edges.
Icon set at 1:1. Nine icons with one stroke weight, rounded ends and equal padding, so they sit together in a real app. Switch Output format to Vector (SVG) for editable paths.
Icon set for a fictional travel app: nine minimal line icons in a neat 3 by 3 grid, a rolling suitcase, a classic needle compass, a train ticket with a perforated stub, a map pin, a camera, a passport booklet with a small globe on the cover, a paper airplane, a dome tent and a sun, uniform 2px stroke weight with rounded line ends, one cobalt blue color on a clean white background, identical optical size and equal padding in every cell, design system quality, no text.
Editorial portrait at 3:4. Natural skin texture, warm window light and a glossy cobalt glaze: Recraft V4.1 handles photography as well as graphics.
Editorial portrait photograph for a design magazine: a ceramicist in her sixties with short grey hair and round tortoiseshell glasses, sleeves rolled up, holding a freshly glazed cobalt blue bowl at chest height in her sunlit studio, shelves of pale unglazed pots softly out of focus behind her, warm late afternoon window light, natural skin texture, clean muted color palette, 85mm lens look, shallow depth of field.
Brand illustration at 3:2. Four flat colors, even outlines and plenty of white space, ready for a landing page hero or an onboarding screen.
Flat brand illustration for a fictional plant delivery service: a sunny apartment balcony overflowing with potted ferns, monstera and a small lemon tree, a woman in her thirties with a short dark bob in a mustard jumpsuit watering a fern from a copper can, an orange cat asleep on a striped cushion, slightly isometric view, friendly rounded shapes, limited palette of sage green, terracotta, mustard and cream, no gradients, clean consistent outlines, plenty of breathing room, no text or lettering anywhere.
Menu design at 3:4. Every item and price prints exactly, with hand lettering, ink drawings and a small badge for the bakery. Change the items and prices to fit your own menu.
Illustrated cafe menu poster for a fictional bakery called "THE EARLY CRUMB": the title "MORNING MENU" in a chunky hand lettered serif at the top, then four lines with dotted leaders and prices: "OAT LATTE 4.50", "CARDAMOM BUN 3.75", "SHAKSHUKA 9.00", "SOURDOUGH TOAST 5.25", each with a small hand drawn ink illustration beside it, cream paper background, two inks only, rust red and charcoal, clean grid alignment, every word and price spelled exactly.
Repeat pattern at 1:1. Gouache style lemons, blossoms and painted tiles in an even rhythm for fabric, wrapping paper or packaging backgrounds.
Seamless repeating textile pattern in a Mediterranean style: ripe lemons on leafy branches, small white blossoms and cobalt blue and white painted tile motifs, evenly spaced on a warm sand background, flat gouache look with crisp shapes, limited palette of lemon yellow, leaf green, cobalt and white, balanced density with no visible seams, ready for fabric and wrapping paper.
Recraft V4.1 Standard: finished designs for 1 credit
Standard renders about 1024 px for 1 credit, so it is the quick way to explore a brand idea. We ran the same prompts as the Pro tiles above on Standard, and these five came back ready to present.
Standard at 1:1. Here the bean itself becomes the mountain, a second direction from the same brief.
Logo design for a fictional mountain coffee roaster named "NORTH RIDGE ROASTERS": a bold geometric emblem where a single coffee bean splits into two snowy mountain peaks, the wordmark set below in a heavy geometric sans serif with wide letter spacing, and a small line "SMALL BATCH SINCE 1998" underneath, two flat colors only, deep forest green and warm cream, perfectly centered on a plain cream background with generous negative space, crisp vector edges, no gradients, no mockup.
Standard at 4:3. Three tins with one matching sprig and an exact wordmark, crisp enough for a pitch deck.
Product packaging design shot: three tall matte tea tins for a fictional brand named "SLOW LEAF", one sage green, one plum and one saffron yellow, each printed with a minimal white botanical line drawing and the wordmark "SLOW LEAF" in a thin elegant serif, standing in a row on a pale travertine plinth, soft window light from the left with long gentle shadows, warm off white backdrop, photoreal studio product photography, crisp label edges.
Standard at 3:4. The title, bakery name and all four prices printed exactly, in two inks.
Illustrated cafe menu poster for a fictional bakery called "THE EARLY CRUMB": the title "MORNING MENU" in a chunky hand lettered serif at the top, then four lines with dotted leaders and prices: "OAT LATTE 4.50", "CARDAMOM BUN 3.75", "SHAKSHUKA 9.00", "SOURDOUGH TOAST 5.25", each with a small hand drawn ink illustration beside it, cream paper background, two inks only, rust red and charcoal, clean grid alignment, every word and price spelled exactly.
Standard at 3:4. Golden light, natural hands and real skin texture at 896 x 1216.
Editorial portrait photograph for a design magazine: a ceramicist in her sixties with short grey hair and round tortoiseshell glasses, sleeves rolled up, holding a freshly glazed cobalt blue bowl at chest height in her sunlit studio, shelves of pale unglazed pots softly out of focus behind her, warm late afternoon window light, natural skin texture, clean muted color palette, 85mm lens look, shallow depth of field.
Standard at 1:1. A looser, scattered take on the lemon and tile pattern.
Seamless repeating textile pattern in a Mediterranean style: ripe lemons on leafy branches, small white blossoms and cobalt blue and white painted tile motifs, evenly spaced on a warm sand background, flat gouache look with crisp shapes, limited palette of lemon yellow, leaf green, cobalt and white, balanced density with no visible seams, ready for fabric and wrapping paper.
- Open with the design type. "Logo design for", "Editorial concert poster", "Icon set for" and "repeating textile pattern" each set the right layout before any detail.
- Quote every word that should print. Our headlines, wordmarks, taglines and all four menu prices came back exactly as written.
- Name the type style: heavy geometric sans serif, high contrast serif, thin elegant serif, chunky hand lettered serif. Recraft V4.1 matched each one.
- Keep the palette short. Two flat colors for the logo, four for the illustration, one cobalt for the icons: a named, limited palette gives the most on brand results.
- Ask for space. "Generous negative space" and "plenty of breathing room" gave our logo and illustration the margins a designer would leave.
- When a design should carry only your copy, say so. Our final poster prompt ends with "The only words on the poster are the headline and that one line", and the balcony illustration asks for no lettering anywhere.
- Explore on Standard at 1 credit, then switch Tier to Pro for the 2048 px file you deliver.
Recraft V4.1 Pro vs Ideogram 4 on a jazz festival poster
We gave both models the same poster prompt in a 2:3 portrait shape, and both spelled the headline and the date line exactly. Recraft V4.1 Pro ran the headline across the full width in a tall high contrast serif on deep indigo, a bold gig poster look, for 5 credits. Ideogram 4 Quality set a calmer centered headline on cream paper with sunburst lines and an art deco frame, for 3 credits.
Same prompt: Editorial concert poster on an art deco grid for a fictional harbor jazz festival: a huge bold high contrast serif headline "BLUE HOUR JAZZ" across the top, a smaller italic line "Harbor Stage, August 14 to 16" beneath it, a central illustration of a lone saxophonist silhouetted against a giant setting sun over calm water with sailboat masts, limited palette of deep indigo, burnt orange and cream, fine paper grain, generous margins. The only words on the poster are the headline and that one line, spelled exactly.

Yes. Start with "Logo design for", give an invented brand name in quotes, a symbol idea, a type style and two colors, and ask for negative space.

Can Recraft V4.1 make SVG vector files?
Yes. Set Output format to Vector (SVG) in the tool, or call recraft-v4.1-svg or recraft-v4.1-pro-svg through the API. Standard SVG is 1 credit and Pro SVG is 5 credits. Vector output suits logos, icons and flat illustrations you want to scale or edit.
