Do you think it’s time to lose the leaf in cannabis logos? We do.

Since 2001, every dispensary, grower, and supplier put a marijuana leaf in the logo. Worse than being cliche is the fact that all the logos look the same. There isn’t any distinction between brands to convey quality, products or type of business.

The sale of medicinal and recreational cannabis is evolving into a billion dollar industry in the US and Canada. As the marijuana market evolves the logos become sophisticated branding tools.

In the beginning, everyone was happy at the prospect of legal marijuana. They didn’t care about specifics. Now the cannabis business has matured, and so have consumer preferences. It’s important for customers to be able to recognize and differentiate between brands and companies.

Ten of the best leafless logos are shown below.

10 Sleek Cannabis Logo Designs

1. Dope Mail

   Dope Mail’s logo uses a fresh, modern font paired with a lively green bud. It’s a clean, readable logo. The name conveys the Dope Mail weed online service dedicated to safe, legal, and discreet doorstep delivery via Canada Post. The company name is a fun play on words since dope is slang for awesome.

   Wyld Canna is a Pacific Northwest company that celebrates adventurous lifestyles. The deer antler logo conjures images of the great outdoors and wildlife.

3. Aurora. The Healing Power of Nature

   A mountain, water, sun, and wind are arranged on each side of a plus sign to represent elements in harmony. Aurora plants are grown in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies with mountain water, gentle breezes, and ideal lighting conditions.

Today, cannabis is a professional industry dedicated to helping people who suffer from a number of conditions and disorders. The logos need to be eye-catching, informative and engaging to keep pace with the changing marijuana industry.
