How to use this prompt
"Readable at very small sizes" is worth stating outright to DALL·E — it reliably simplifies the design when you do, dropping the decorative tick marks and degree markings it otherwise loves to add around a compass. Four points, not sixteen: every extra point costs legibility at 60px and buys nothing. The single coral north needle against teal is the whole design idea, and naming it as "highlighted" keeps DALL·E from colouring all four points equally, which flattens the icon into a decorative star. Explicitly saying "no shading and no gradients" is necessary rather than redundant — "flat vector" alone still produces a subtle gradient fill often enough to be annoying, and a gradient is the one thing that breaks visual consistency across an icon set.
Variations to try
- Outline style — "the same compass as a thick outline only, coral on white" for a secondary or inactive tab state
- Companion icons — "a map pin, a paper plane and a suitcase in the same flat style, palette and padding" to complete the travel set

The compass has four clean points, a small circular centre and a single highlighted north needle in warm coral against a deep teal background. Use thick even line weights, no shading and no gradients. Keep wide even padding between the compass and the edges of the tile. The design is symmetrical, centred and readable at very small sizes.",
