Do solid silhouette icons need a separate reference?

No. Start with the prompt alone, or attach the example on this page to guide the style.

Is the solid silhouette example transparent?

No. This example keeps its white background. The source and display PNG are both available in the content record.

Can the solid silhouette style work as a tiny interface icon?

Use it as an illustration around 96px or larger. Tiny interface icons require separate simplification and pixel checks.

Your prompt

Create one solid silhouette icon illustration.
Subject: [subject]
Meaning and use: [meaning]
Dominant color: [color]

One solid ink color, bold unified silhouette, a few broad white negative-space cuts separating essential parts. Frontal filled shapes rather than outlines. No hairlines, gray, gradients, texture, shadows or 3D.

Square canvas, at least 1024 × 1024. Center one complete subject with 15% empty margin; readable at 96px. Pure opaque white background. No text, numbers, logos, watermark, frame, loose decorations or extra objects. Deliver one icon, not a sheet. If an example image is attached, use only its style; replace its subject with the requested subject.

Open and save any example above, then attach it to your prompt as a style reference in your image tool.
