Logo Design Trends 2025 — What's Hot, What's Not (And no, not everything requires a gradient)

Let's clear one thing up:

Trends are like that specific influencer who emerges out of thin air — loud, flashy, and forgotten next weekend.

But in branding? You gotta know what’s popping and what’s flopping.

Since the line between "fresh" and "trying too hard" is quite thin.

So there's our no-BS overview of what's in, what's out, and what you actually need to watch out for when creating your logo in 2025.

🔥 What's IN

1. Bold Simplicity

We're referring to logos that are clean, bold, and reduced to their bare essentials.

No clutter. No unnecessary details. Just strong shapes and good intention.

Why it works

They scale well, last longer, and are instantly recognisable.

2. Custom Typography

Templates are final. Brands today want logos that have type which is bespoke-made — something which says, "This is us and no one else."

It's not fonts anymore. It's personality expressed through letterforms.

3. Negative Space Done Right

Not to be clever — but to add substance and meaning without making noise.

The FedEx arrow? Genius. Now, however, brands are using negative space to more subtle, emotional effect.

4. Flexible Logo Systems

Static logos are old-fashioned.

Brands now want modular logo systems — stuff that works through formats, screens, sizes, packages, reels, avatars. you get the idea.

You require a brand mark that's flexible AF.

5. Raw + Authentic Color Palettes

We're seeing a movement toward natural color, distressed finish, and asymmetrical texture.

Brands no longer want to yell neon anymore — they want to be human.

🚫 What's OUT

1. Overdesigned 3D Logos

You're not making a science fiction film.

Bevels, shadows, lens flares? Out. Out. Out.

2. Ultra-Minimal Without Meaning

Just because it's easy doesn't mean it's intelligent.

Blank logos with no story = lazy.

3. Generic "Startup" Vibe

You know the one — lower-case sans-serif, pastel gradient, meaningless circle.

We've all heard it a thousand times. It doesn't say anything particularly unique about you.

4. Designing for Social Media in Particular

Yes, it will be okay in a circle. But that is not your only brief.

Your logo has to live everywhere — signs, packaging, documents, decks, websites, merchandise, etc.
