This article features designs that showcase the creativity anime girl logos have to offer. You’ll find show-stopping designs that you can use as Twitch channel logos, cosplay logos, and more.
Take a glance at the design categories you can expect to find below:
Kawaii logos
Whether it be drawings of adorable soft food or chibi, anime has its own unique way of portraying cuteness. You can utilize this style to make an appealing kawaii logo. This is great for people planning to create a gaming brand or maybe even a fashion brand.
Commonly, this design is created with big, bug-like eyes and proportions where the head of the brand mascot is bigger than its body. You will often see this with decorative touches of stars, hearts, and the like. This helps trigger the caregiving impulse that every person has inside of them.
Your options are endless when it comes to picking drawings and concepts for your cute logo. However, you want to avoid visual clutter. You can do this by keeping the design simple and avoiding illustrations that have too many intricate details.

Pro tip: Make a mood board
Map out your concept with the help of a mood board. If you don’t know what this is, this is basically a collage of ideas that inspire you or ideas you want to apply to your brand. This helps you stay on track with the concept you have in mind. It can contain typography inspiration, color schemes, and other design-related components.
Gaming logos
Who says girls can’t play? More and more women are now delving into the world of gaming. More than half of the community is comprised of women.
To find success in the industry, you want to present your brand in a way that can connect with the audience and, at the same time, show what makes you different. Having a cartoon logo can help you show your love for anime and, at the same time, have a kickass logo that your fellow gamers will like.
Using anime-inspired elements, you can create a broad spectrum of personalities. You can be fierce, magical, or even a little unhinged.

Anime Girl Logo Design by Shioka Art
This logo design by Shioka Art creates a whimsical brand identity. You can see the influences of Sailor Moon in the drawing, which gives a strong anime feel. The design also uses a crescent moon to help frame the character and provide emphasis.
Pro tip: Learn color psychology
It has been found that consumers associate brand colors with human traits. Pink is often seen as feminine, yellow represents joy and more. Being aware of the meaning behind every color can help you in your design process. You can use this to express yourself further and create a unique design.
Animal logos
There are a ton of animal-themed shows right now. From BNA to Beastars, these characters have found their way to the hearts of many otakus.
But the use of animals isn’t exclusive to anime. Brands outside of the industry have long used anime in their branding too. Companies like Jaguar and Lacoste, among others, are using animals to represent their values.
It is essential to familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the animal before selecting it as your mascot. Are you wise like an owl? Or are you charming like a raccoon or tanuki? You want to consider an animal that reflects your personality for a more effective animal logo.
For color, you want to set a limit. It is advisable to use only two to three different colors. This will help prevent visual clutter and improve your logo’s visual coherence.

Pro tip: Pick readable fonts
Although your animal is the focal point of your design, it is essential to pay attention to typography. You want to choose fonts that look good and readable at the same time. Some of the most readable ones are Helvetica, Verdana, and Rooney. But you could choose other fonts as long as each letter is distinguishable and won’t create confusion among readers.
