Aether Quantum
A futuristic, ultra-precise icon pack depicting quantum mechanics, computing states, and advanced cryptography. Designed with glowing holographic line art, semi-transparent glass elements, and neon energy vectors on a dark base for high-tech interfaces.
Aether Quantum
Welcome to the Aether Quantum Icon Suite. Designed specifically for next-generation developer portals, scientific visualization dashboards, and futuristic OS interfaces, these icons represent complex subatomic phenomena with pristine, minimalist geometry and vibrant electromagnetic color gradients.
Format: SVG + ICO + PNG. Every icon ships as vector source in Icons/SVG/, a transparent 1024x1024 PNG in Icons/PNG/, and a multi-size Windows .ico (16-256 px) in Icons/ICO/.
Using them: drop an .ico onto a folder via Properties → Customize → Change Icon, or onto a shortcut via Properties → Shortcut → Change Icon. The SVGs are the source art for web, docs, and app UI — they stay sharp at any size; the PNGs are there for anything that can't take a vector.
Container: circle-badge — a perfect circle badge. Every icon in the pack shares it at the same scale.
Redrawn as vector. This pack originally shipped as diffusion-rendered illustrations; those renders are archived outside the repo and the icons below were redrawn as vector geometry, so they have real transparency and stay legible down to 16 px.

Prompt
Generation Prompts
Historical. These are the prompts that produced the pack's original diffusion renders, which are archived outside this repo. The icons the pack ships today were redrawn as vector geometry and did not come from an image model — see
metadata.mdfor what generated them.
- System Model: Gemini 3.5 Flash
- Image Model: Gemini 3.1 Flash Image
Pack Prompt
You are an expert icon designer and creative director. Your task is to conceptualize a cohesive icon pack based on the theme: Quantum Computing Symbolic Icons.
The pack should contain 12 distinct icons that would be useful for web design, app interfaces, or OS customization.
Return a JSON object with:
- "title": A catchy name for the icon pack.
- "slug": A kebab-case slug for the pack.
- "description": A 2-3 sentence description of the pack's style and use case.
- "introduction": A short introductory text for the pack's documentation.
- "metadata": { "style": "The overall visual style (e.g., Glassmorphism, Pixel Art)", "keywords": ["list", "of", "5", "keywords"] }
- "icons": A list of 12 objects, each with:
- "name": Name of the icon (e.g., "Home", "Settings", "User").
- "concept": A brief description of what the icon represents.
- "image_prompt": A highly detailed, professional prompt for an image generation model to create a single, high-quality icon. The prompt should specify a transparent or solid background (e.g., "on a solid white background"), centered composition, and consistent style.
- "caption": A short notification caption (e.g., "A set of 12 glassmorphic web icons for modern UI.")
Ensure the "image_prompt" for each icon is consistent with the overall style.
