Skip the difficult Photoshop tutorials and have fun creating a logo in Midjourney instead. We’ll cover the basics you need to know for designing a logo, plus the top Midourney tricks you need to know.

There are plenty of AI image generators out there, but none that produce images quite as stunning as Midjourney. Its relatively low cost is another reason why we chose it for this project.

Step 2: Create a Logo Prompt

you’re able to start by typing the command/imagine promptin the text box. Follow on with the phraseA logo design [description], replacing the description with your idea.

During Midjourney’s training, the AI model would have absorbed a vast amount of modern logos. That’s one reason why it can generate a design with very little input.

Here’s our first example:

It’s a lot easier to keep track of your work in a private chat than in the public forum. You can click on theMidjourney Botname at any time and begin a private session by typinghelloin the message box.

Getting Better Results

Let’s delve into the design some more and start improving our initial idea.

When creating a logo, there are some additional elements worth considering, color palette being one of them. You can find a list of essentials below:

With these things in mind, create a prompt that incorporates the details you want. This is what our first example looks like after we expanded the original prompt and added more keywords:

Adding Typography

You can also try out logo designs based around words, also known as typography.

To add text to your image, place the word in quote marks. For example,a logo design for a coffee shop with the words “White Cat Coffee” written underneath.

We have a more in-depth guide onhow to create text in Midjourneythat can help improve your results and avoid spelling mistakes.

Step 3: Use Style Variations

Time to speed up the design process using a neat shortcut. Say you want to try out several different color schemes, but copying and pasting the same prompt, then waiting for the results to load each time, is time-consuming.

In that case, make use of a feature called permutations. Place the different color options inside a set of curly brackets and Midjourney will create new prompt variations for each option. You can see this demonstrated in the following prompt:

Midjourney will execute your prompt multiple times, changing just the keywords in the curly brackets each time. So, with just one prompt, you’re able to create four variations.

This method works on all the different design elements, not just color.

After completing your experiments, you’ve hopefully found just the right logo to download.

First, select the image you want by clicking one of the buttons labeledUunderneath the set of four images. The numbers correspond to the images in the set, starting with the top left and right (U1 and U2), then the bottom left and right images (U3 and U4).

The image will then appear isolated in the chat with a few more buttons underneath. Depending on the model you are using, either clickUpscale SubtleorUpscale (4x).

When the image is ready, click on it to open a preview, then clickOpen in Browser. After that, right-click on the image and selectSave Image Asto download a copy to your computer.

Step 5: Remove the Image Background

There are severalfast options for removing the background of an imageif you need to.

We used the online tool calledremove.bgto do this task. Without signing up for an account, you can remove the background of your logo and download the file at 500 x 500 px resolution.

Because we wanted a high-resolution version, however, we opted to create an account and use a free credit to download the image at 2048 x 2048 px.

You can also explore the option of converting your logo to a vector image, meaning you can resize it without causing it to blur, distort, or pixelated. The process is a little more involved but can be well worth the results. We have a guide on how tovectorize an image in Adobe Illustratorif you’re up for the challenge.
