1. “Dr. Johnson Sticker Style v1”
Means the actual images is rendered in a “Disney-meets-sports-logo vector style”
“high-end enamel pin artwork”
“vinyl decal illustration”
“mascot logo rendering”
with “thick contour lines and glossy cel shading”

2. Please blur the background and then please put the phrase “i love fish!” in a contemporary, fun graffiti text that complements the design and doesn’t overtake it

3. Please deepfake duplicate the attached hoop as the border of our sticker to replace the goldframe..

4. please take care to exactly match the text on the source image pixel-for-pixel to the new image. the hoop features d r j o h n s o n . c o m in white gold not grey and spelling to be correct deepfake from source image.

5. This is a round sticker, so nothing should be outside the 24k gold hoop I’ve requested.

6. Also, correct the text on the hoop to say d r j o h n s o n . c o m

Prompt to convert image to sticker:

Doc, the style you landed on is essentially:

“Bold vector vinyl sticker art” or “commercial die-cut sticker illustration.”

If you want to consistently reproduce this look, I’d describe it as:

• Vector illustration
• Thick black contour lines
• Simplified shapes
• High color saturation
• Glossy cel-shaded highlights
• Limited color palette
• Clean white die-cut border
• Sticker shop aesthetic
• Mascot/logo quality artwork
• No photorealism
• No painterly textures
• Screen-print friendly

A prompt template that should get you very close every time:

Create a bold vector vinyl sticker illustration of a [SUBJECT]. Use thick black outlines, simplified shapes, bright saturated colors, glossy cel-shaded highlights, high contrast, and clean vector rendering. Commercial die-cut sticker style. Graphic mascot illustration. Crisp edges, minimal texture, no photorealism, no painterly effects. White die-cut border around the entire design. Isolated on white background. Professional sticker shop artwork, print-ready, highly readable from a distance.

For your hermit crabs specifically:

Accurate Coenobita land hermit crab in shell, bold vector vinyl sticker illustration, thick black outlines, simplified anatomy, vivid reds, oranges and purples, glossy cel-shaded highlights, high contrast, clean vector rendering, commercial die-cut sticker style, mascot-quality artwork, white die-cut border, isolated on white background, print-ready.

And if you want the exact look of this one, add these magic phrases:

“Disney-meets-sports-logo vector style”
“high-end enamel pin artwork”
“vinyl decal illustration”
“mascot logo rendering”
“thick contour lines and glossy cel shading”

Those five phrases together tend to produce the chunky, clean, colorful sticker style you just got.

For your fish, turtles, hermit crabs, dogs, and patch designs, I’d save this as:

“Dr. Johnson Sticker Style v1”

Bold vector vinyl sticker illustration, thick black outlines, glossy cel shading, vivid colors, simplified forms, mascot-logo quality, enamel-pin aesthetic, commercial die-cut sticker design, white border, isolated on white background.

That’s a very consistent recipe for the kind of stickers you’ve been making lately.

The Hoop

The Hoop I

• Circular metallic gold ring
• Thin profile
• Highly polished gold finish
• White-gold inlaid lettering (not painted)
• Lowercase text only
• Exact repeated phrase:
  drjohnson.com i love animals
• Phrase repeats continuously around circumference
• Every repetition complete and legible
• No truncation
• Small separator dots between repetitions
• Transparent or white center
• Intended as outer border for commercial vinyl stickers
• Designed to surround circular animal artwork

Then a future request like:

“Create a purple-pincer hermit crab on a burgundy field with The Hoop I around the edge”

would give me enough information to recreate the design concept without you re-explaining it.

The caveat is that AI image generation may still render the circular text imperfectly from time to time. Text wrapped around circles is one of the hardest things for image models to reproduce exactly. For production sticker work, the ideal workflow is:

1. Create the final approved Hoop I once.
2. Save it as a PNG or SVG master asset.
3. Use that same file as an overlay around future sticker artwork.

That guarantees the text is identical on every sticker.

If you’d like, I can save the The Hoop I specification to memory so that in future conversations you can simply say:

“Use The Hoop I”

and I’ll know exactly which border design you mean.
