Create a personalized end-of-year graphic with Maia Consulting
The holiday season is a strategic time for all businesses: it’s the perfect opportunity to strengthen connections with your community, highlight your visual identity, and share a positive message as you head into the new year. Thanks to new artificial intelligence tools like Sora and Nano Banana, it’s now possible to create high-quality visuals that align with your branding,without needing to be an expert in graphic design or complex software.
In this article, learn how to create a striking, 100% personalized end-of-year graphic that’s ready to post on LinkedIn or Instagram. We’ll walk you through the process step by step, with ready-to-use prompts that you can simply copy and paste.
1. Create Your Image with Sora
To give your post some character, choose the style that best matches your visual identity. We offer two styles: traditional or modern. These templates were designed to create a luxurious, aesthetically pleasing result that captures the warm, festive spirit of the holidays.
We've prepared two prompts that you can copy and paste directly into Sora or ChatGPT. Simply replace "YOUR COLOR" with the dominant color in your brand guidelines to ensure complete consistency in your communications.
🔹 Traditional style – warm, authentic, nostalgic
Editorial close-up of a Christmas tree branch illuminated by soft amber lighting, pine needles with a deep green velvet-like texture, frosted matte YOUR COLOR ornaments with subtle reflections, a copper-thread garland loosely wrapped among the branches, a blurred background with golden bokeh sparkles, intense focus on textures, slightly glossy needles, a powdery ornament surface, warm diffused highlights, shot with a shallow depth of field using an 85mm macro lens, a luxurious yet intimate composition
This style is ideal for brands that want to convey warmth, friendliness, tradition, and a “classic Christmas” spirit. It’s perfect for family-owned SMEs or companies that focus on evoking emotions.
🔹 Modern style – minimalist, luxurious, sleek
Macro editorial photograph of a luxury Christmas tree branch, coated in frost with a needle-sharp pine texture, glossy YOUR COLOR ceramic ornaments reflecting studio lights, intertwined with a fine silver LED garland emitting a soft white glow, shot against a pure white seamless background, ultra-clean composition with strong light contrast, subtle shadows, and crisp focus, high-resolution studio shot taken with a 100mm macro lens; visual style: minimalist, winter luxury, sharp textures, understated elegance
This style is perfect if your company has a premium, tech-focused, design-oriented, or innovative image. The “winter luxe” look is very popular with modern brands that want a high-end aesthetic.
2. Add your logo using Nano Banana
Once you've generated your image with Sora, you can further customize it by adding your logo. To do this, use Nano Banana inGoogle AI Studio. Copy the prompt that matches your style (traditional or modern), then simply import your company's logo as a JPEG or PNG file.
The goal: to achieve a photorealistic, natural look that blends seamlessly into the setting.
🔹 Traditional version – a warm, retro atmosphere
Add the COMPANY logo from my reference image to the Christmas ornament on the right. Place it centered on the matte white bauble, blending it realistically into the curved surface. Maintain the ornament’s retro vintage look: soft film grain, warm bokeh lights in the background, subtle light reflections, and gentle shadows. Preserve the original texture, the frosted pine branches, and the warm, nostalgic atmosphere. Ensure a photorealistic, naturally blended result with subtle vintage color tones.
This prompt produces an authentic look, as if the ball had actually been decorated in a traditional workshop.
🔹 Modern version – high definition and minimalist design
Add the company logo from my reference image to each of the white Christmas ornaments in the photo. Place the logo centered on the visible side of each ornament, curved naturally to follow the glossy spherical surface. Ensure realistic integration: subtle reflections, correct light direction, slight distortion that matches the curvature, soft shadows, and accurate highlights. Keep the frosted pine branches, the cool, minimalist aesthetic, the soft white background, and the warm micro-LED lights unchanged. Photorealistic, clean, high-end finish.
This prompt guarantees a very clean, premium, almost editorial-style result perfect for modern branding.

With these prompts, you can create a professional-looking design that’s perfectly suited for polished digital communication. All you have to do is add:
- your greeting,
- a short, inspiring text,
- or to thank your customers, partners, or employees.
Your image will be ready to share on LinkedIn, Instagram, your newsletter, or your website.
