What you need

There's no free plan. Included usage resets every Monday (UTC), and unused usage doesn't roll over.

  1. Step 1: Open Create in QuiverAI

    3 min

    Create is the QuiverAI workspace where the Arrow 2 model draws, vectorizes, edits and animates SVGs.

    1. Go to quiver.ai and click Start creating to sign up.
    2. Choose a plan in Billing. The Go trial runs for 14 days.
    3. Open Create.

    You should see an empty prompt box, ready for your first request.

    The trial asks for a card?

    The Go trial needs one. If you don't plan to keep QuiverAI, change your plan in Billing before the 14 days are up.

  2. Step 2: Prompt your first logo

    5 min

    Arrow 2 follows concrete details best: what the asset is for, its size, its style, its colors and what to leave out.

    1. Paste the template below into the prompt box.
    2. Fill in each bracket. Describe one main subject, not a busy scene.
    3. Send it and wait for the result.
    Your prompt
    Create a [SUBJECT, FOR EXAMPLE A MOUNTAIN PEAK WITH A CRESCENT MOON] logo mark for [USE AND SIZE, FOR EXAMPLE A WEBSITE HEADER AND A 32PX FAVICON].
    Use [STYLE, FOR EXAMPLE FLAT GEOMETRIC SHAPES], [YOUR COLORS AS HEX CODES], and [COMPOSITION, FOR EXAMPLE CENTERED WITH EVEN PADDING].
    Include [ANY DETAIL THAT MUST BE THERE].
    Avoid text, gradients, shadows and background shapes.

    You should see an SVG version of your logo idea, ready to refine.

    The result has too much detail?

    Name the final display size, such as 32px, and take texture and decoration out of the prompt. Small marks need fewer shapes.

    Want words in the logo? Type the exact text and capitalization, then check every letter in the result.

  3. Step 3: Refine one change at a time

    5 min

    Each result is the base for the next edit, so naming what stays fixed protects the parts you like.

    1. Pick the result closest to what you need.
    2. Ask for one change and list what must stay the same, like the example below.
    3. Check the new version at its final size before you ask for the next change.
    Your prompt
    Change only [ONE ELEMENT] to [NEW REQUIREMENT].
    Keep the silhouette, layout, colors and all other shapes unchanged.

    You should see a new version with only that one change made.

    An edit changed too much?

    Ask again for the single change, and list each shape, color and piece of text that must stay as it is.

  4. Step 4: Vectorize the logo you have

    3 min

    If your logo only exists as a PNG or JPG, Arrow 2 can turn it into clean vector shapes.

    1. Crop the image close to the logo and remove any busy background.
    2. Upload it in Create and send the prompt below.
    3. Compare the outline, corners and colors with the original.
    Your prompt
    Vectorize this image.

    You should see an SVG copy of your logo that stays sharp when you zoom in.

    The vector copy looks rough?

    Crop closer, remove background clutter, or start from a cleaner, higher-resolution image.

  5. Step 5: Make icons that match your logo

    5 min

    A reference image keeps a whole icon set in your logo's shapes, line weight and colors.

    1. Upload your logo as a reference image.
    2. Send the prompt below. For each new icon, change only the subject.
    3. Compare the icons side by side at 24px, and redo only the ones that don't fit.
    Your prompt
    Use the reference image for its shape language, line weight and color palette only.
    Create a 24px [SUBJECT] icon in the same style.
    Use a square view box and filled shapes, with no text, gradients or background.

    You should see a set of icons that look like they belong with your logo.

    The icons don't match each other?

    Spell out rules for stroke, fill, palette and geometry. If you use more than one reference image, give each one a single job, such as palette or silhouette.

    Each request starts fresh. Keep your prompt in a note and change only the subject each time.

  6. Step 6: Export and edit in Figma or Illustrator

    3 min

    An SVG keeps every shape as a vector, so you can recolor and resize it with no loss of quality.

    1. Open the creation, choose Export and pick SVG.
    2. In Figma, drag the SVG file onto the canvas. Figma turns it into an editable vector layer.
    3. In Illustrator, open the SVG file the way you open any other file.

    You should see your logo as separate shapes and paths you can select and change.

    No SVG option when you export?

    Export formats depend on your plan. Check what your plan includes in Billing, and change it there if you need to.
