Envato’s vibrant new logo gets a sonic branding twist

Digital asset marketplace Envato has unveiled a re-energised new brand identity complete with a stylish website facelift, new logo and immersive sonic branding. We've seen our fair share of rebrands in recent years, but Envato's leap into contemporary design is a masterclass in delivering a playful refresh that doesn't rely on fleeting design trends.

As a platform centred around creatives, Envato's new identity is rooted in a passion for empowering its users. The clean identity embodies innovation, sparking a fine balance between modern playfulness and timeless design, inviting us into a vibrant new era.

The star of the show is Envato's new logo design, featuring a bold new typeface and reimagined emblem. Created by Norwegian-based designer Milos Mitrovic in collaboration with Envato's in-house design team, the wordmark carries a confident contemporary feel, complementing the peppy new logo design.

Inspired by the humble exclamation mark, the logo features a 'Creative Spark’ motif comprised of a fluid marker pen-style line embellished with a ‘Dynamic Dot’. A symbol of creatives making their mark (quite literally) Envato's logo is a vibrant emblem representing the unique, innovative spirit of its community.

The new logo is brought to life thanks to the new immersive sonic branding created by NYC-based composer K. Sparks. "At its core, we wanted our sonic branding to capture the spirit of the Envato brand: authentic, passionate, dynamic, and, of course, creative," Envato says in its case study. You can find out more about K. Spark's creative process below.

In a refreshing revamp of its old identity, Envato traded in its old green colour palette for a vivid new shade of Envato Green (unintentionally in line with Charli XCX's Brat Girl Summer branding). The energetic new shade brings a dose of character and freshness to the rebrand, while the addition of three new shades (including a dark green, cream and purple) brings an added depth to the new identity.

Alongside the new visuals come improvements to the site's UX, as well as a modernised UI experience for a well-rounded aesthetic and functional glow-up. “This rebrand is not just about a new look—it’s about living and breathing our brand values into everything we do and supporting our creative community to do the same,” says Envato’s CEO Hichame Assi.
