I will also only show images that were fairly ok (discarding the other 70+% that were terrible).īut first, let’s quickly describe how DALL♾ 2 works. I will only show the mostly happy path here. In the rest of this post you’ll see where I started, what I went through, what I learned along the way, and how it slowly evolved into the finally chosen image. So TLDR, here’s the logo I finally ended up with:
Quake logo series#
In practice, you’ll see that the process looks a bit like the Westworld depiction of writers creating storylines in season 4 (no worries, this is not a spoiler, but I do recommend the series if you haven’t watched it). I knew for a while already that its logo should be updated, and with Dall-e arriving, I could combine the fun with the practical. To add some more background, OctoSQL - an open source project I’m developing - is a CLI query tool that let’s you query multiple databases and file formats in a single SQL query. In other words, I was already a bit warmed up. I’ve spent a day playing around with it, learned some basics (like the fact that adding “artstation” to the end of your phrase automatically makes the output much better…), and generated a bunch of (even a few nice-looking) images. Now, a few weeks ago, the floodgates have been opened and lots of people on the waitlist got access - that group included me.

A few months ago, when the first previews started, it was basically everywhere. Everybody has heard about the latest cool thing™, which is DALL♾ 2 (henceforth called Dall-e).
