9 Best Nature & Outdoor Logos and How to Make Your Own [2024]

Once you’ve found a logo that speaks to you, it’s time to make all of the design tweaks that will make it truly your own. Looka’s editor makes it easy to change almost any aspect of your logo.

For example, you can select a new font for your company name or slogan, using the helpful categories shown below.

From the same editing bar at the left-hand side, you can:

• Add a background outline or shape
• Change the background color
• Change the text color, layout, and alignment
• Search for a new symbol
• Use the History tab to revert to a previous version (awesome for undoing mistakes!)

If you end up completely changing your mind about your design, you can always start over. To return to your original page of logo designs, click the back button in the browser or the Dashboard button at the top left.

From the dashboard, you can click Generate more logo designs to view new logos based on the information you gave previously.

5. Finish Up!

Once you’ve made your edits, you’re ready to buy your logo – if you want to. Looka offers three logo packages, each for a one-time fee. The prices are fairly reasonable but not really cheap, so you might want to consider hiring a designer on Fiverr instead.

Fortunately, Looka will save your logo design to your account, so you don’t have to decide about purchasing right away.

Wondering how a logo created with Looka actually looks? Here are a few different nature-themed logos I made:

Get Inspired by Famous Nature Logos

Nature itself is vast, ranging from oceans to deserts to rainforests, so it’s no surprise that there’s a huge variety of nature-inspired logos out there. I’ve chosen a few of my favorite logos that use natural themes with unique color palettes and design styles.

Biolage, a high-end hair care brand, takes a simple approach to portraying nature, using a muted and peaceful shade of green next to a large, easy-to-read wordmark. The rounded, sans-serif font feels modern and expensive yet still approachable and friendly. The leaf icon hints that nature is the final piece of your hair care puzzle.

At the other end of the “nature” spectrum is Mountain Equipment. Instead of an earthy color scheme, it uses a powerful red to evoke the passion, excitement, and adventure of climbing. The shape of the mountain icon mimics the M of the company’s name, while the squarish font feels solid and dependable – just like the outdoor gear that the company sells.

With its natural color scheme, the Nivea Sun logo is actually a smart variation on the company’s standard logo (the dark blue badge in the middle). By adding a sun peeking out from the background, this logo becomes dynamic, memorable, and perfectly adapted to Nivea’s line of sun protection products. It also has great color contrast and readability.

Enzo, an organic tea company, plays up the natural theme with a logo that features a simple, two-toned leaf. The placement of the leaf behind the top of the text gives it an airy quality, as if it’s drifting down on a quiet breeze. I like how the company name is bold and easy to read, yet gets a touch of playfulness from the small, offset O.

From its muted color palette to its uneven, hand-inked lettering style, the Tommy Bahama logo exudes retro island vibes. The yellow sunbeam lines draw your eye toward the gently curved palm tree, giving the logo a strong visual center and sense of balance. Although it uses a sunlight theme, this logo feels calming and relaxed rather than bright and energetic.

Tinder is a great example of nature logo design taken to its minimalist extreme. Rather than use a realistic-looking flame icon, the Tinder logo presents a more rounded, circular shape – turning the potentially threatening symbol of fire into something friendly and playful. The gradient background is also very on-trend.

Nature images often call up feelings of peace and serenity, but the Timberland logo reminds us that time spent in nature can be active and powerful, too. With high-contrast black and yellow and a chunky serif font, the Timberland logo has a vintage, masculine, and rugged feel – perfect for a company that sells durable boots.

A luxury mineral water brand, Evian incorporates the source of its water – the French Alps – into its logo. Although the mountain peaks are simplified, they still maintain a strong, three-dimensional presence with their jagged lines. The white space between the peaks tricks the eye into seeing glaciers, so you envision Evian’s pure water flowing downward, drawing your eye to the bold red wordmark.

Live Oak Brewing Company, a Texas craft brewery uses a classic badge-style logo that’s complex, yet balanced. The banner, text shadows, and thick yellow outline give this logo a timeless look, while the high contrast of black, yellow, and white ensures easy readability and gives off a strong sense of action and energy.

The Gaiam logo uses an icon known as the Flower of Life, said to symbolize unity and spirituality – two key values for the company’s audience of yoga, pilates, and other meditative fitness practitioners. Even if buyers aren’t aware of the symbol’s meaning, it still reflects universal ideas like blooming, beauty, and growth. I also love how the letter forms reflect the geometry of the flower to create a cohesive, visually pleasing mark.

How Will You Make Your Nature Logo?

As you can probably tell by now, there are no set rules for creating a “nature” logo. Depending on the color, font, and other design elements you choose, your nature or outdoor logo can be anything you want it to be: peaceful, serene, dynamic, earthy, vintage, or modern.

It’s these limitless possibilities that make nature logo design so fun – but also so challenging to do well. If you want to try out your own creative ideas, head over to Looka to design a logo (or two or three!) for free.
