Vaultworks — Password Manager & Security App Icons

Twelve flat-vector tile icons covering the password managers, authenticator apps and hardware keys people actually keep on their desktops. Every symbol is a single-weight white geometric mark — locks, shields, keys, vaults, codes — set on a saturated squircle tile tuned to each product's own colour. Built for Windows desktop shortcuts, launcher grids, security dashboards and web UI, and shipped in SVG, ICO and PNG.

Vaultworks — Password Manager & Security App Icons

Security software has a look problem: every app in the category reaches for the same padlock, and a folder full of them turns into grey mush. Vaultworks fixes that by splitting the work in two — the tile carries the identity, the symbol carries the meaning. Each of the twelve members gets a distinct saturated squircle in its own brand-adjacent hue, and on top sits one original white mark drawn at a shared optical weight: a numbered vault dial for KeePass, a six-digit code row for Authy, a fingerprint-touch disc for YubiKey. Nothing here reproduces a trademarked logo; each mark is a fresh reading of what the product does. The result reads as one coherent set at 512px and stays legible at 16px in a taskbar.

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: squircle-tile — a rounded-square (squircle) app tile with a large corner radius. Every icon in the pack shares it at the same scale.

Pack Prompt

You are a senior icon designer producing a commercial icon pack for Windows desktop and web use — the kind sold on Iconfinder or posted on DeviantArt, not a stock-illustration set.

Design a cohesive pack of 12 icons on the theme: Password Managers and Security Apps — 1Password, Bitwarden, KeePass, Authy, YubiKey — rounded squares.

This step is the concept only. You are not drawing anything yet — a second pass draws each symbol as SVG, and the container shape, the tile gradient, and the final document are generated by code. Your job is to decide what the pack is, who its twelve members are, and what colours it uses.

What a pack is

A pack is one category of similar, nameable things, drawn in one shared visual system. Think "Brave, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Vivaldi" — or "Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, Mega, OneDrive" — or "Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma, Canva, Affinity Designer". Twelve members of the same family, each instantly identifiable, all cut from the same cloth.

Name the real things. If the theme is browsers, name the actual browsers. If it is AI coding tools, name Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex. If it is cloud storage, name the real services. A pack of abstract inventions ("Chroma Bell", "Nebula Cloud", "Prism Home") is a failure — that is not what this is for.

But design an original mark for each. Do NOT reproduce a company's trademarked logo. Take the product's idea — what it does, its colour, its silhouette — and draw a fresh symbol for it in the pack's style. A Dropbox icon is a box or a stack of blue facets; a terminal tool is a prompt caret; a vector editor is a pen nib on a path. The set should feel recognizable at a glance without copying anyone's artwork.

If a theme genuinely has no real-world members (e.g. "Website Page Icons — Cart, Checkout, Orders"), then the 12 members are the concrete pages or functions themselves, still named plainly.

The shared visual system

Pick ONE container shape for the whole pack. The renderer draws it for you, identically on all twelve — you only choose which one fits the theme:

container Use it for
squircle-tile app icons, browsers, mobile/desktop apps, AI tools
folder-tab anything described as a folder pack — Windows folder icons
circle-badge social, profile, status, round-dock sets
rounded-square system/utility/taskbar icons, settings panels
drive-block storage, backup, drives, sync services
bare-glyph page/UI icons meant to sit inline in a web layout

Colour

The pack is two-tone by design, and that is what makes it read as a set:

  • Each icon gets its own tile_color — the container behind it. This is where a member's identity lives: Firefox orange, Dropbox blue, Spotify green. Pick a saturated, distinguishable hex per icon; no two should be near-identical, and all twelve should look like one palette family rather than a random assortment.
  • The whole pack shares ONE glyph_color — the symbol drawn on top of every tile. Almost always #FFFFFF; use a very dark neutral (e.g. #1A1A22) only if the pack's tiles are all pale.
  • For a bare-glyph pack there is no tile, so tile_color becomes the symbol's own colour and glyph_color is ignored.

Every colour must be a plain 6-digit hex string like #3B82F6.

Describing each symbol

Each icon's glyph_brief is an instruction to whoever draws it, in flat geometric terms — what shapes, in what arrangement. "A rounded upward chevron over a horizontal baseline bar" is useful; "a beautiful modern representation of growth" is not. Keep every brief phrased the same way and at the same level of detail, so the twelve come out at one optical weight.

Two hard constraints on what you may ask for, because the drawing pass is validated against them:

  • No lettering. The renderer has no fonts. If a member is best known by a letter, describe the letterform as geometry ("two vertical bars joined by a crossbar") or pick a non-letter symbol instead.
  • One colour per symbol. The symbol is drawn in the pack's single glyph_color, with transparency as the only available second shade. Do not ask for a multi-colour symbol.

Return a JSON object

  • "title" — a catchy name for the pack.
  • "slug" — a kebab-case slug.
  • "description" — 2-3 sentences on the pack's style and what it is for.
  • "introduction" — a short intro paragraph for the pack's documentation.
  • "metadata":
    • "style" — the visual style in a few words (e.g. "Flat vector, solid fills, single-weight symbols").
    • "container" — exactly one of: squircle-tile, folder-tab, circle-badge, rounded-square, drive-block, bare-glyph.
    • "glyph_color" — the one hex colour every symbol is drawn in.
    • "palette" — the tile colour family in a phrase (e.g. "saturated brand hues, one per member").
    • "keywords" — a list of 5 keywords.
  • "icons" — a list of 12 objects, each with:
    • "name" — the thing itself, named plainly ("Firefox", "Google Drive", "Checkout").
    • "concept" — one line on what the symbol shows and why it reads as that thing.
    • "glyph_brief" — the flat geometric description of this one symbol, per the section above.
    • "tile_color" — this icon's container hex.
  • "caption" — a short notification caption (e.g. "12 flat-vector browser icons in SVG, ICO and PNG.").

Return the JSON object and nothing else.

Drawing Contract (the glyph call)

You are drawing the SYMBOLS for a cohesive icon pack as SVG.

Pack: Vaultworks — Password Manager & Security App Icons
Theme: Password Managers and Security Apps — 1Password, Bitwarden, KeePass, Authy, YubiKey — rounded squares
Style: Flat vector, solid fills, single-weight white symbols on saturated squircle tiles
Container: every icon is placed by our renderer inside a rounded-square (squircle) app tile with a large corner radius. YOU DO NOT DRAW THE CONTAINER, the tile, the background, or any border — those already exist. Draw only the symbol that sits inside.

## Rules — these are enforced by a validator, not by review

1. Draw each symbol in a plain square coordinate box from 0,0 to 100,100. Use the whole box; our renderer scales and centers it into the container for you.
2. Output BARE SVG shape elements only: `<path>`, `<circle>`, `<rect>`, `<ellipse>`, `<polygon>`, `<polyline>`, `<line>`, `<g>`. No `<svg>` wrapper, no XML declaration, no comments, no markdown fences.
3. **No `<text>` or `<tspan>`, ever.** The rasterizer has no fonts — a text element renders as nothing. If an icon needs a letterform, draw the letter as filled `<path>`/`<rect>` geometry.
4. No `<image>`, `<script>`, `<style>`, `<foreignObject>`, and no `href`/`src` pointing anywhere external. Nothing may be fetched at render time.
5. Colour: the symbol's default fill is already set to `#FFFFFF` by the renderer, so plain shapes need no fill attribute. You MAY set `fill="#FFFFFF"` explicitly, or use `fill-opacity` between 0.35 and 0.75 for a secondary shade. Do not introduce any other colour — one symbol colour plus its own transparency is what makes the pack read as a set.
6. Prefer solid filled shapes over strokes. If you do stroke, use `stroke="#FFFFFF"` with `stroke-width` between 6 and 9, plus `stroke-linecap="round"` and `stroke-linejoin="round"` — and use the SAME stroke width on every icon in the pack.
7. One optical weight across all twelve. Same visual density, same corner treatment, same level of detail. This is the single most important property of the set.

## Output format

For each icon, one delimiter line then its markup, nothing else:

=== ICON: <slug> ===
<path d="..."/>

Emit all 12 icons, in the order listed, using exactly the slugs given.

## The icons

- `1password` — **1Password**: A centered keyhole: a solid circle with a narrow tapered vertical slot descending from it, enclosed by a rounded-square outline of even stroke weight.
- `bitwarden` — **Bitwarden**: A shield: flat top edge, straight parallel sides, tapering to a rounded point at the bottom, with a narrow vertical transparent slit running the full height through its center.
- `keepass` — **KeePass**: A thick circular ring with four short radial tick bars at the top, right, bottom and left edges, and a small solid circle at the center joined to the top tick by a short straight spoke.
- `authy` — **Authy**: Three equal rounded-rectangle bars in a horizontal row across the lower half, with an open circular arc above them spanning roughly three-quarters of a circle, its gap at the top right.
- `yubikey` — **YubiKey**: A vertical rounded-rectangle body with a solid circle centered in its upper half and a small circular transparent hole punched near the very top edge.
- `dashlane` — **Dashlane**: A thick circular ring with a horizontal arrow — straight shaft and solid triangular head — passing through its center and breaking the ring's right edge with a transparent gap.
- `lastpass` — **LastPass**: A solid rounded-rectangle lock body in the lower two-thirds with a small transparent circle at its center, topped by a semicircular shackle arc of even stroke rising from its upper edge.
- `nordpass` — **NordPass**: A shield outline of even stroke weight with a four-pointed star centered inside it, the star's vertical points longer than its horizontal ones.
- `proton-pass` — **Proton Pass**: A vertical key: a solid circle at the top with a central transparent hole, a straight shaft below it and two short horizontal teeth on the shaft's right side, enclosed by a thin circular ring.
- `keeper` — **Keeper**: A rounded-square outline of even stroke weight containing a smaller solid padlock: rounded-rectangle body with a semicircular shackle arc above it.
- `google-authenticator` — **Google Authenticator**: A thick circular ring with a solid pie wedge inside it, the wedge spanning a quarter turn from the twelve-o'clock position clockwise, its apex at the center.
- `enpass` — **Enpass**: A rounded-rectangle outline of even stroke weight with a vertical straight bar dividing off its left quarter, and a short horizontal handle bar centered on the right portion's inner edge.
