Having spent very late nights trying to tinker with Midjourney (while drinking tons of coffee), I can bring you a much larger in-depth guide on using AI to create beautiful logos. This is not a tutorial — it is a bundle of working invocations from this world.

Part 1: Introduction – This is Why Midjourney is a Game Changer

You know, back when you had lots more time spent adjusting bezier curves in Illustrator? And let’s be honest, traditional design skills are still very helpful, but Midjourney fundamentally changed the way we do logo design. It’s like an over-caffeinated design intern who works 24/7 and can spit out thousands of variations in minutes. But here’s the thing — Midjourney is only as good as the prompts you give. I found this out the hard way after the early attempts yielded some pretty funny (and unusable) designs. Hence, the Midjourney Prompts for Logo Design guide was created here.

How to Make the Most of This Guide

So, without further ado: grab a coffee, and maybe a notebook. This guide is organized from simple ideas to complex techniques. Every part builds on the last, and I use real examples from my workflow.

A Lesson in Prompt Structure – Part 1

So What Makes a Perfect Logo Prompt?

A Midjourney prompt is like a recipe. Like baking, order, and proportion of ingredients is important. Here’s the overall framework I’ve found works most effectively:
  • [STYLE]
  • [MAIN ELEMENT]
  • [BUSINESS CONTEXT]
  • [SPECIAL EFFECTS]
  • [TECHNICAL PARAMETERS]
For example: Minimal, geometric text logo, post-technology startup –ar 1:1 –v 5 –style raw

Trending Cheat-Sheet About Key Parameters That Make or Break Your Logo

Here are the parameters that just work after testing with hundreds of them:
  • Aspect Ratio (–ar):
    • For square logos: –ar 1:1
    • For logos going across: –ar 2:1
    • For vertical logos: –ar 1:2
  • Version (–v):
    • Always use this –v 5 for improvements to use the latest innovations
    • Minimizes random text and outputs
  • Style:
    • –style raw: For clean, professional-looking results
    • –stylize [100-1000]: The degree of artistic interpretation

Work Like Magic: Style Modifiers

This is something I figured out by trial and error: there are specific style modifiers that always yield better results:
  • “award-winning design”
  • “featured in LogoLounge”
  • “trending on Behance”
  • “professional brand identity”

Minimalist Business Logos

Template 1: Modern Corporate minimalist corporate logo design, sacred geometry, professional business identity, clean lines, monochrome palette, negative space design –ar 1:1 –v 5 –style raw

Logo Templates For Various Industries

Technology & Software innovative tech logo, circuit board style, futuristic startup, scalable vector –art 1:1 –v 5 –style raw     Also random but fun fact: That “circuit board aesthetic” modifier works every single time for me, and it always gives me that techy feel without getting too cliché. Food & Restaurant restaurant branding logo, hand-made cooking elements, rustic yet classy, vintage food design, textured warm color –ar 1:1 –v 5 –stylize 400   Fashion & Beauty Luxury fashion logo design, minimal elegance, high-class brand logo, chic timeless –q 2 –v 5 –stylize 1000   Health & Wellness holistic wellness logo, balanced organic forms, healing energy aesthetic, professional medical symbol, clean modern design –ar 1:1 –v 5 –style raw   Entertainment & Gaming Dynamic gaming logo, energetic esports design, bold futuristic elements, competitive brand identity, neon accents –aare1:1 –v 5 –stylize 900    

Special Effect Logo Templates

3D Effects

Some Advanced Techniques That Stand Out Your Logos

I am going to share something you will not find in most tutorials because the real trick to logging good sound is to combine techniques. Here’s what I’ve discovered after countless hours of trial and error:

Leverage Different Styles for New Outcomes

Give this power couple a whirl: Ornate simplicity, luxury brand identity, controlled chaos, architectural precision –ar 1:1 –v 5 –stylize 1000     This framework provides a nice tension between minimalism and complexity. I have used it when luxury brands want to be different.

Color Psychology in Action

Instead of simply naming colors, describe the emotion you’re trying to express: A professional logo that inspires trust, solid blue tones with dynamic accent elements, authoritative yet friendly, modern brand palette –ar 1:1 –v 5     Pro tip: Describing emotions instead of specific colors has resulted in Midjourney taking more creative licenses while still adhering to brand goals.

Optimization Suggestions

Getting Consistent Results

minimalist tech logo design, innovative startup identity –ar 1:1 –v 5 –seed 123456 Then for variations: the minimalist tech logo design, startup identity –ar 1:1 –v 5 –seed 123456 –stylize 750

Troubleshooting Common Issues

  • Problem: Too Much Detail Solution: Just add these magic words: choreography, using only the bare essentials, distilled core ideas, neat execution
  • Problem: Inconsistent Style Solution: Use style anchors: Uniform brand personality, organized design system, harmonized creative components.

Tips Based on Real-World Experience

Start General, Then Narrow Down

Give a general prompt and refine based on output. It’s like when you’re sketching — you just draw rough shapes, you don’t add detail yet.

Remember This:

Don’t use reference points like “think like Apple’s logo” or say something like: Ideal brand mark proportions, iconic simplicity, timeless geometric shape Always specify “scalable vector style” in your prompts for logos that translate to different sizes.

My Secret Weapon Prompts

These are the prompts that I reach for most often and find myself continually coming back to after months of experimentation that seem to generate the very best results.

For Tech Startups:

{tech} logo, {brand identity} {abstract} {geometric perfection}, {geometric} with {slight} {flow} {scale}, 1 {icon} mark award {we} {breached} {d} tech, {aesthetic}, Deep Tech – arc|1|1| /–v 5 –style raw–/

For Lifestyle Brands:

Premium lifestyle logo, modern design principles, aspiration brand mark, editorial feel, trending on Behance –ar 1:1 –v 5 –stylize 1000

Conclusion: The Future of Logo Design

I have been using mid-journey (essentially an AI with which we can generate images based on text description) for months now, and I have come to realize that it is not a threat to traditional design skills, but rather supplements what we can do creatively. We will learn to do the best logos through the knowledge of both, prompting well and the principles of good design.

So, before you leave, here’s my last power prompt that works every time and whatever you want: Mastercraft logo design, golden ratio harmony, timeless professional identity, award-winning style of design, perfect brand mark balance, featured in Communication Arts –ar 1:1 –v 5   These prompts are starting points. The true magic comes when you play around and find your style. Hit that “rules” button and don’t be afraid to break — some of my very best designs were happy accidents!
