19 Renewable Energy Logo Ideas for Solar, Wind and More
8 min read
A good renewable energy logo shows what the company does in one glance, whether it sells solar panels, builds wind farms or advises on clean power. Most brands in the field reach for the same sun, leaf and lightning bolt, so the work is making a familiar idea feel specific.
Below are 19 renewable energy logo designs, grouped by symbol: sun, wind, leaf, bolt and water. For each one we note what works and which kind of company it suits, so you can take the ideas, not the artwork, into your own green energy logo.
What a renewable energy logo needs to say
- Sun and solar: rays, discs and panel grids. Warm yellows and oranges, often paired with blue.
- Wind: blades, curves and horizons. Light shapes and open space suggest air.
- Leaf and nature: clean, natural and sustainable. The most common symbol, and the hardest to make unique.
- Bolt and power: electricity, storage and speed. Works best when blended into another shape.
- Water and hydrogen: hydro, ocean and hydrogen brands. Blue and teal feel cleaner than green here.
Green is the default colour, but it is not the only choice. Blue, teal and yellow are common in energy, and a bright accent helps a brand stand out in a crowd of green logos. Our guide to green in branding covers what the colour signals and where it works best.
The common traps are the leaf-plus-bolt clipart combination, gradients and shadows that fall apart in one colour, and detailed marks that turn to mush on a hard hat, a vehicle door or a favicon. Energy logos are often used on panels, trucks and uniforms, so simple wins.
19 renewable energy logo ideas
Sun and solar logos
The sun is the obvious symbol for solar power, so the best examples add a second idea: a panel, a place or a pattern.
1. Renewable Energy Solution
A sun with a solar panel grid in its lower half and a green leaf rising from the top, so three energy ideas share one circle. The warm yellow against blue and green is easy to read. It is busy, so it needs a simplified version for small sizes. Design by creative.bugs on DesignCrowd.
2. Solar Power
The curve of the sun ends in a power plug, which turns “sun” and “electricity” into one simple line. The rounded type is friendly, so it suits a company selling to homeowners. The gradient and soft shadow will need flattening for print.
3. TexSun Energy
The shape of Texas is filled with radiating sun rays, so the place and the product are one picture. The blue-to-green gradient feels fresh and utility-scale. A strong approach for any regional provider that wants to be known by its location. Design by nasworked on 99designs.
4. Photovoltaire
A grid of blue squares stands for a solar panel, and one square becomes a yellow sun. It is flat, geometric and easy to rebuild at any size. The grey wordmark and the tagline “Enlighten your home” point to a residential audience. Design by steXdog on 99designs.
5. Taavi Renewable Energies
A ring of small dots forms a sun that also looks like a solar cell. The board shows the mark in navy and yellow, both on dark and light backgrounds, which proves it works in more than one palette. Made for a cleantech start-up, it is a good example of a modern, non-green solar identity. Design by mansjien on 99designs.
Wind logos
Wind is harder to draw than the sun. Blades, curves and horizons are the usual tools, and the best ones keep the shape light.
6. Indochina Energy Partners
Two wind turbines stand in front of a rising yellow sun, set on a thin horizon line. It says wind and solar in one small picture and reads clearly at small sizes. Green type and gold sun give it an optimistic, regional-energy feel. Design by shraddha-b on 99designs.
7. Wind Farm
Three leaves are arranged in a loop, like both a recycling symbol and the blades of a turbine. The simple line style and white type on dark green give it a calm, eco-friendly feel. Credit goes to Masha Andreeva.
8. Vindkraft
A propeller drawn in fine lines with four slim blades, shown here over a sunset wind farm. The thin strokes feel precise and engineered. They would need a heavier version to survive on a vehicle or a hard hat. “Vindkraft” means wind power in Scandinavian languages. Design by d.design.art on 99designs.
Leaf and nature logos
Green leaves are the most common sign of a green energy logo. They are safe, and also easy to confuse with every other brand, so look for a twist.
9. Greenlight Bermuda
A lightbulb is cut out of a leaf as negative space, so “green” and “light” arrive together. The board shows it on dark green and on white, and the icon alone would work as an app icon or social avatar. A clever, minimal take on the leaf cliche. Design by Leonardo Ramirez on Dribbble.
10. Green Energy
A glossy leaf with a lightning bolt cut out of it, shifting from green to blue, beside a lowercase grey wordmark. The bolt-in-leaf idea is common, but the gradient and rounded type make this version look polished. Good for a consumer-facing energy app or retailer. Design by Dmitry Zmiy on Dribbble.
11. Green Energy Hub
The leaf doubles as the letter G, so the initial and the idea are one shape. The two-tone green works on white and on black, as the board shows. Simple, modern and easy to apply across a website and signage. Design by ArtDsn on 99designs.
12. Sunergy Power
A green leaf and a sunburst share one drop-shaped outline, with the sun side edged in orange flame. It combines nature and sun in a way that is easy to read. The detail is heavy for a small icon, so a flat version would help. Design by KVA on 99designs.
13. Renewable Energens
A circle shows a green hill under a blue sky with bands of colour sweeping across it, which tells a landscape story about clean power. The soft, full-colour mark is friendly and approachable, but the fine colour bands will not survive one-colour printing. Design by Adam Jennings on Dribbble.
14. Inborn
Overlapping translucent green shapes form an organic mark with a hole in the middle, which reads as a leaf, a seed or a lens. The lowercase wordmark is clean and modern. It avoids obvious symbols and suits a brand that wants a softer, tech-led image. Design by Leandro Peixoto on Dribbble.
Bolt and power logos
A lightning bolt says electricity at once. The trick is to blend it with the brand idea so it does not look like a battery sticker.
15. Solar Bird
A leaf forms the wing and a lightning bolt forms the body of a bird, so nature, energy and freedom sit in one shape. The green gradient pops on black. Use it where you want a dynamic, forward-looking feel. Credit goes to Dmitry Litvinenko.
16. Eneon ES
A heavy italic wordmark with a lightning bolt wedged between the letters, fading from green to blue. It was made for a battery energy storage company serving utilities. The fast slant gives it energy, though it feels more like a sports brand than a utility. Design by Darko Knezevic on 99designs.
Water and hydrogen logos
Hydro, ocean and hydrogen brands need a calmer set of symbols, and blue works better than green.
17. Own Your Climate
The three letters are filled with three textures: orange sun rays, pale wind lines and blue ocean waves. One monogram covers solar, wind and marine energy, so it suits a community energy co-op. The pattern fills would need a one-colour fallback. Design by motexart studio on 99designs.
18. Green Hydrogen Drop
A water drop is built from linked dots, and the dots in the middle form the letter H for hydrogen. It looks like a molecule or a circuit, which gives it a technical feel. Made for a hydrogen production and safety company, the blue palette is cleaner than the usual green. Design by skeiblue on 99designs.
19. Earthworm Energy
A leaf and a wave share a teal circle, so land and water appear together. White type on deep navy gives it a premium look for a consultancy. It would suit a clean energy advisor that needs to look credible to business clients. Design by Violet Garden on 99designs.
Tips for designing a green energy logo
- Pick one idea. A sun, a blade or a bolt is enough. Three symbols in one circle usually mean none is clear. Our key principles of logo design explain why.
- Combine, do not stack. The best examples above merge two ideas into one shape, such as a leaf that is also a lightbulb or a letter that is also a leaf.
- Choose colour on purpose. Green says nature, yellow says sun and energy, blue says water and trust. See our notes on yellow and blue in branding.
- Test it on real surfaces. Check the logo small, in one colour, and on a dark background. Energy brands appear on panels, vehicles and uniforms.
- Avoid greenwashing signals. Stock leaves and a globe can look like every other brand. A specific idea, such as the Texas shape or the propeller above, feels more credible.
- Plan the variations. You will need a full logo, an icon and a one-colour version. Here is how to plan logo variations.
