20 Cool Startup Logos

Your company logo is more important than you think. It reflects what you are all about- your mission statement, values, vision, and marketplace personality. If you are a startup, then you need a unique and attractive logo the most as you have to face massive competition.
If you are thinking about creating a fresh company logo, then you have already taken a step in the right direction. However, you can’t create the most creativelogos if you don’t have quality designs to draw inspiration from.

The following are 20 amazing startup logos that show how good designs can be created for your own business:

1. Naava

Naava is a Finland-based startup that offers smart walls to clean and purify indoor air to make it more breathable. The logo design, as one can see is quite minimalistic which fits the brand’s personality. It’s also used the “As” and “V” cleverly as they create a sense ofairflow. The color green is also a good choiceas it suggests a theme of nature and trees.

2. ClassCode

ClassCode is an e-learning platform where you can learn different skills in the tech domain from experienced instructors. The logo is appropriate on many levels. For starters, the brackets denote coding which fits the profile perfectly. The letter c represents both code and class, and the design is flexible which is one of the top rules for effective logo design.

3. Elevator

4. Code and Co.

5. Meloncard

6. Busbud

7. Houndlabs

Houndlabs is a startup that looks to create the world’s first breathalyzer for marijuana. This is a good step towards responsible smoking in countries where marijuana is legal. However, the logo is able to contain the essence of the brand by representing “sniffing out” with the shape of a hound. The color scheme is also a good choice as it’s positive and energetic which hides the otherwise negative connotations of the brand’s venture.

8. Adioso

9. Take Eat Easy

10. Tailor Brands

Tailor Brands is one of the most innovative startups in the branding space which provides AI-powered graphic design services at affordable prices. Since the company itself provides a tool for logo creation, it’s natural for the people to judge it on the basis of its own logo, and it doesn’t disappoint.
The main icon of Tailor Brands can be read in different ways. Some may see a pencil, while others a heart or a diamond. However, it’s all on purpose as the founders wanted to show that the algorithms of the service do have a human element too (heart). Of course, the top part of a pencil represents the tailormade logo design services.

11. Bam Street Food

12. Paystack

13. Mellow

Mellow is designing a smart sous chef i.e. a sous-vide machine that you can control with your smartphone. One thing that’s pretty clear about the logo is that it uses one of the latest and trendiest fonts which is important in this kind of design. However, the icon which may not make sense to you at first glance also has a meaning as the shape of the machine is exactly the same.

14. Mush

New mothers have to face all kinds of challenges. What’s worse, they often realize that they are on their own. This kind of frustration is what the startup Mush is trying to remove by allowing new parents who live in the same city to find each other, chat, and share items among themselves.
The logo of mush is very calming, comforting, and uses the psychology of colors in the right manner. The icons it has chosen are also fitting as they represent motherhood and the joys of raising a child.

15. Monzo

16. Green Spork

Green Spork is trying to minimize wastage of food which is a serious problem in the world. It provides a meal planner that pairs recipes in a way that leftover ingredients are minimized. The logo, of course, uses the first letter of the company’s name. However, the design is made interesting by using the negative space inside the “g” for a “spork”. The color is also in sync with the name and the brand. As a result, all the elements work together to create a combined effect.

17. Truman

18. Paracosm

19. Bundlelist

20. Springboard

It’s not easy to design a fresh logo that’s attractive and aptly represents a brand. However, checking out existing logos that are designed by professionals can give you lots of ideas to work upon. The examples above serve as a good collection of startup logos that one can look into.
