We’ve gathered a collection of lovely logos from around the world that all feature hearts! I’m sure you’ll feel the love designed into these heart based logo designs.
The heart shape is an almost universally understood symbol. As an ideograph (a graphic symbol representing an idea or concept), it’s elevated beyond the physical organ pounding in your chest. We use the heart to symbolize the emotion of love. Broadly though, from compassion given to people or animals to romantic love and affection.
When you use a heart in logo design, it generally is paired with a subject. For example, we’re all probably familiar with the “I Heart NY” logo by Milton Glaser. It serves to demonstrate that you have particular affection for that city. This is done with just three letters and the heart ideograph. It’s a great example of just how much we read into the heart shape.
Heart logos are usually found in warm colors. Because love is associated with passion and burning desire, it reminds of of reds, oranges, and pinks, other things associated with heat.The modern twist on this has been to use magenta for hearts, it combines the warmth of red with the softness of a pink.
Because of its simplicity, the symbol we use for a heart can be distorted, misinterpreted, or even just hinted at and we still recognize it. Below you will see a variety of heart logo designs for your inspiration, each one different in its own right.
