I asked for a logo to be simplified into five colors for reproduction processes. It changed the name and year of the company in the logo so it is unusable. Yet, I got charge credits for this!

I asked Firefly to simplify the logo into five colors for a t-shirt run we are working on. It changed the year of the founding! I cannot use this. I could do it manually faster and not loose credits. The prompt was simply: vectorize this camp logo using only five colors: brown, green, black, yellow, red; use halftone effects to create variations of colors like beige, orange, and grey. Emphasis on print reproduction separation process.

Hi Ashley Stroud, Thanks for taking the time to share this.
What you’re asking for (accurate logo simplification, strict color separation, and preserving exact text like the founding year) is actually closer to a production/prepress workflow than a generative one.
Tools like Adobe Firefly are designed to reinterpret and recreate images, not to precisely preserve every detail. Because of that:
Text (like names and dates) can sometimes be unintentionally altered
Color reduction isn’t handled as true print separations
The output may look visually similar, but isn’t guaranteed to be production-accurate
That’s why you saw the founding year change, this is a known limitation of generative AI today, not something you caused with your prompt.
If it may help, I used this prompt, and it gave me a close output to your request, but it won’t be vectorized: “Recreate this logo exactly. Do not change, rewrite, or reinterpret any text, letters, or numbers. Preserve all wording exactly as shown. Simplify the artwork into a flat vector-style design using only five colors: brown, green, black, yellow, red. Use halftone dot patterns to simulate additional tones (beige, orange, grey). Maintain original composition, layout, and proportions. No new elements.”
