Maybe you just don't have an eye for this stuff. It seems really obvious to me how these images are cluttered.

Maybe you're not explaining yourself very well.

1 - looks video game inspired, I would expect it to have about that level of detail, it makes sense for the genera. It looks like it's trying to put in slums and high-rises by the explosion, and it seems likely the prompt asked for both slums and high-rises. In which case, I can't think of a less cluttered way to show them.

2 - The monitors are presumably part of the prompt. There seems to be a bit of office chair and some extra table legs and some lights intersecting on the ceiling back there, which, yeah, probably would be better left out.

3 - Do you mean you don't like the jagged shapes breaking up the main image? That's clearly an intentional stylistic choice

looks video game inspired

Indeed. For once, my Arma clan didn't commit a war crime, they just happened to witness one.

The monitors are presumably part of the prompt

The prompt asked for a cyborg with a very particular set of features in a futuristic office. No chairs specifically, but that's hardly unheard of in an office. The fact that it got the Great Wave correct on his face is enough to blow me away compared to previous models, which would have just given him swamp ass.

Do you mean you don't like the jagged shapes breaking up the main image? That's clearly an intentional stylistic choice

It's the outcome of asking for brutalism in a minimalist vector art logo for a fictional private military company. If you don't add such stylistic markers, it defaults to the kind of slop you see on police officers trying to be hard men, in other words the Punisher skull emblem. But it can obviously do better and different if you ask.
