Is a Line Logo Right for You?

The AI logo generator from GraphicSprings is a great tool for creating a line logo. This logo style presents a very specific look. And it’s a look that can change with a small action, like the thickness of the lines. Thin, delicate lines give your line logo a light, elegant feeling while thicker lines can lean toward a more modern output. Because of variations like this, when you are developing your line logo you will want to be as clear with feeling and style as you are about what the lines are representing. 

Popular Line Logo Icons

A line logo is more of a style than a category and because of this there isn’t a standard icon library that you can turn to. There are certain designs that seem to be more popular in this style. Those include:

• Houses
• Buildings
• Mountains
• Trees

As well as objects that be given a modern twist as a line logo like:

• Bicycles
• Cars

No matter what you choose to include in your line logo, it’s important that you keep it simple. It can be easy for your design to go from a couple of buildings to a full city or from a tree to a forest. While that might look nice as a design, it may be difficult to be understood as a logo. Particularly when it is shrunk down.

Top Colors for Line Logo Design

Because of their simplistic nature, line logos will typically follow one of two color schemes.

1. Black and white
2. Brand coloring

Think of the Coca-Cola logo. It uses simple typographic line art in the iconic Coke red. Could you see it in blue or green? Maybe as a one-off for a special promotion but if you just saw it “out in the wild” it wouldn’t feel right.

Trusted Font Choices for Line Logos

The best font to use in your line logo is often your designated brand font. That’s because many line logos either are entirely the company name or incorporate the name.

Line Logo Ideas That Work

There is a versatility and diversity a line logo has that many other types of logo do not. That’s because the line is not constrained by a secondary shape (like a circle) or any specific category (like medical equipment). This gives line logos a particular freedom that can be expressed in a number of different ways.

Versace – The fashion brand has a somewhat complicated but also completely appropriate line drawing rendition of Medusa in their logo. Its’ detailed, yet not busy. And interesting because it doesn’t directly speak to the name of the brand or what they do.

Innocent – Two lines, two dots. There is a beauty in its simplicity. It also stands out because it looks hand-drawn which speaks to the feeling of home their products provide.

Tour de France – There are some great reasons why this works so well. 90% of the line logo is simply the name. The R has been bent slightly to take the shape of a bike rider. Their bike is a bright yellow circle that has been added behind the letters. All of these elements work together to let you know exactly what they do.
