Nameplate Simulator | Adding an Icon
An icon can serve as a quiet accent beside your name, or take center stage like a sign. Tap "+ Icon," type what you want in words, and AI generates the icon — you can place it anywhere and resize it freely.
What you can do
All you need is words. Type a dog, a guitar, a plant, your shop's motif — generate it, and you can make it a small accent or a bold centrepiece beside your name.
Icons with clear, simple outlines engrave most cleanly. Very detailed images tend to fill in during engraving, so the simpler the shape the better. The images are AI-generated automatically and carry no copyright, so they can be engraved on your nameplate as-is. If a generated image closely resembles an existing character, logo, or trademark, we may decline to engrave it at our discretion. If you want to use your own artwork — such as an existing shop logo — you can email us the path data after ordering, separately from the AI icon feature.
How to use
First, tap "+ Icon" under "Text & Icon" to open the icon generator.
Type what you want and tap "Generate." Specific subjects — a cat, a dog, a guitar — tend to produce cleaner results.
Tap "Add" to place the icon in the preview. Adjust the size and position to see how the finished piece will look.
Want more examples? See our cat silhouette icon gallery — sitting, walking, stretching — each with a link to try the design yourself.
The simulator preview is a rendering of the finished piece. After you order, we email you the actual design data to review — production begins only once you approve it, so you can order with confidence even for the first time.
