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]
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”
Essential Logo Design Templates – Part 2
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

- It is great for law firms and professional services.

Creative & Artistic Logos
Template 1: Abstract Art Liquid abstract logo, creative brandmark, kinetic forms, luxe feeling, golden ratio, trending design –ar 1:1 –v 5 –stylize 1000

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 1000Conclusion: 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.One Last Super-Prompt
