Midjourney has received tremendous press since 2021, yet non-technical audiences are often discouraged by their visual communication. This project positions them to remain competitive in a rapidly growing AI landscape by making the identity more approachable.


The strategy draws from the founder’s quotes and mission statement. Light refraction serves as the central metaphor — symbolizing the expansive creativity their tools make possible. Visual identity colors connect across cultures, ages, and industries, distinguishing Midjourney from the sea of tech-company blue.

The new logo is an evolution of the previous sailboat symbol — distilled to its simplest abstraction.

The Sail. Through extensive logo exploration, this was the simplest abstraction of their sailboat logo.

Visual identity colors emerged from light refraction, symbolizing expansive creativity possible with their products.

The primary palette helps Midjourney stand out from the majority of tech companies.

Logo family expressed through all visual identity colors: vertical lockup, icon, wordmark.

Midjourney Navigate


Navigate is a proposed concept for a Midjourney user conference, held in San Francisco.

An interactive installation in the shape of the sail symbol — 10ft tall, creating an immersive viewing experience.

Conference attendees speak generative AI prompts into microphones surrounding the installation in real-time.
