Description
Ideal for turning an ordinary photo into something between an early computer icon and an underground magazine mark. The top half is the original image; the bottom half is an anonymous digital relic in pure black and white, with coarse dithering, halftone dots, jagged low-resolution edges, and a touch of information loss. Keep only the strongest identifying feature as a totem. The symbol should be small and centered, with clean space around it, while the text resembles an old system label. The mood is calm, mysterious, and restrained. Avoid complex illustrations, game scenes, cartoon logos, gradients, colorful interfaces, modern commercial icons, and 3D.

ImageOld Sigil | xiaoxiaodong P290
Ideal for turning an ordinary photo into a warm little totem. The top half shows the original image; the bottom half uses an uneven, slightly shaky hand-drawn outline with limited flat color, along with the imperfections of old printing: ink bleed, misregistration, and visible paper fibers. The symbol is small, with generous blank space preserving a touch of loneliness, while the text resembles a handwritten collection number. The palette is a limited, warm vintage selection: faded orange, washed blue, olive green, warm off-white, ink black, and soft red. Avoid full illustrations, commercial logos, standard mascots, smooth vector graphics, and 3D.
ImageGeo Mark | xiaoxiaodong P303
Ideal for turning an ordinary photo into the core graphic of an arts institution or cultural brand. The top half shows the original image; the bottom half retains only the subject’s silhouette, structural relationships, or direction, rebuilding them into a geometric identity mark with circles, rectangles, triangles, and negative space. The palette is a refined selection of brand colors drawn from the original image: one main color, one supporting color, and a small accent color—bold but restrained. The mark is small, centered or slightly offset, like a logo displayed in an art book, with narrow modern editorial lettering. Avoid realism, cartoon icons, gradients, 3D effects, decoration, and logo templates.
ImagePixel Specimen | xiaoxiaodong
Ideal for turning an ordinary photo into a small signal on an archival page. The original image appears on top; below it, the subject is distilled into an abstract pixel badge with a hard grid, minimal tonal levels, and almost no dithering—like a pixel specimen preserved in a collection book. The badge is very small, set in generous warm-white or light-gray negative space, with an optional tiny monospaced number beside it. The overall design uses low-saturation industrial neutrals, retaining only one sparse signal color derived from the original image. Avoid complete scenes, pixel illustrations, game interfaces, icon collections, nine-grid templates, noisy retro effects, and cheap tech aesthetics.
