Quick answer
Can you make a logo with Nano Banana?
Yes. Nano Banana 2.1, Google's image model released on 6 October 2026, can draw logo concepts with your brand name spelled out: put the exact name in quotes, then describe the symbol, style and colours. Google's own docs use a coffee shop logo as the example for accurate text. It returns a raster image (1K to 4K), not an SVG, so treat it as a concept to refine or vectorise. On Kenerate a 1K logo costs 21 credits.

What Nano Banana 2.1 does with names and marks
Real, unretouched Nano Banana 2.1 outputs. Only the first is a logo; the rest show the lettering, mascot and brand-asset work around one. The coffee logo spelled 'Bean There' right but added 'COFFEE SHOP' under it unasked.
Logo jobs
Logo jobs Nano Banana 2.1 handles
What to ask for, and where the reference images come in.
Wordmark
The brand name as the logo. Quote it exactly and name a font feel: 'geometric sans', 'hand-lettered script', 'art-deco caps'.
Symbol + name
A simple mark beside or above the name — like the coffee bean shaped as a map pin above. Ask for 'flat, centered, plain background'.
Monogram
One to three initials interlocked in a badge or circle. Say which letters, in which order, and the line weight.
Mascot
A character for the brand. Once you have one you like, attach it and ask for new poses that keep the same colours and face.
Brand kit from one logo
Attach your logo as a reference and ask for a business card, a sign, a mug or a social banner that uses it unchanged.
3D and material versions
Turn the flat logo into chrome, glass, neon or clay with the logo attached as image 1.

How to use the nano banana logo maker
- Time needed
- Steps
- 4 steps
Step 1
Open Nano Banana 2.1
Go to Image Studio with Nano Banana 2.1 selected. A square 1:1 ratio suits most logos; any one-time credit pack unlocks the model.
Step 2
Write the logo prompt
Logo type, the brand name in quotes, the symbol, the style and two or three colours, then 'no other text'.
Step 3
Generate concepts, then refine
Run it a few times at 1K. Attach the best one as a reference to fix one detail, or to make a mascot, monogram or mockup that matches.
Step 4
Clean up and export
Remove the background for a transparent version, upscale if needed, and have the final mark vectorised before print or trademark use.

Tips
How to prompt a logo in Nano Banana
Google's own advice for text in images, plus what we saw in the outputs above.
Start with the type: 'wordmark logo', 'monogram', 'emblem', 'mascot logo', 'app icon' — the layout follows the word.
Put the exact name in quotes, and keep it short. Google's guide: give the text, a font style and the overall design.
End with 'no other text'. Our coffee logo added 'COFFEE SHOP' under the name without being asked.
Ask for 'flat, centered, plain background' so the mark is easy to cut out and vectorise later.
Name two or three colours, not a mood. 'Warm brown on cream' beats 'cosy vibe'.
Make several concepts at 1K, then re-run the keeper at 2K or 4K and proofread every letter.

FAQ
Nano Banana logo maker questions
9 questions
Can Nano Banana make a logo?
Yes. Nano Banana 2.1 draws logo concepts from a text prompt, including the brand name: Google's Gemini API guide uses a coffee shop logo as its example of accurate text in images. Our test, a coffee shop logo called "Bean There", came out spelled correctly with a bean-shaped map pin above the name. Treat the result as a concept: it is a raster image, not a vector file.
Link to this answerWhat is a good Nano Banana logo prompt?
Logo type + exact name in quotes + symbol + style + colours + "no other text". For example: "Minimal logo for a coffee shop called 'Bean There' — a coffee bean shaped like a map pin, warm brown on cream, flat vector, centered". This page lists eight more templates for wordmarks, monograms, mascots, emblems, app icons and brand kits.
Link to this answerDoes Nano Banana make SVG or vector logos?
No. On Kenerate, Nano Banana 2.1 returns a raster image at 1K, 2K or 4K; there is no SVG output option. "Flat vector style" in a prompt only changes the look. For print, signage or a trademark filing, have the final mark redrawn as a vector.
Link to this answerCan I get a transparent background?
Generate the logo on a plain background, then run it through Kenerate's Remove Background tool to get a transparent version. Our remove background from logo page shows that step.
Link to this answerCan Nano Banana keep my existing logo the same in new images?
That's where it's strongest. Attach your logo as a reference (Nano Banana 2.1 takes up to 14) and ask for a business card, mug, sign or social banner that uses it unchanged. Always say "keep the logo's shapes, colours and text exactly the same", and check small text closely.
Link to this answerIs Nano Banana or Recraft better for logos?
They do different jobs. Recraft V4.1 makes flat, vector-style logos from text only and takes no reference images. Nano Banana 2.1 is the pick when the logo has to carry into other images — mascot poses, mockups, variations — because it accepts up to 14 references. Our AI logo generator page compares the logo models.
Link to this answerIs the Nano Banana logo maker free?
Not on Kenerate: Nano Banana models need a one-time credit pack, then a 1K logo costs 21 credits. The 25 free sign-up credits work on free-plan models such as Qwen Image 3.0 and Flux 2. Google also offers Nano Banana in the Gemini app within usage limits — see our Nano Banana free page.
Link to this answerCan I trademark a logo made with Nano Banana?
Check before you rely on it. Search trademark registers for your name and mark in every country you sell in, because an AI concept can resemble an existing logo, and have a designer refine and vectorise the final version. Rules on registering AI-assisted marks differ by country.
Link to this answerWhere can I download the official Nano Banana logo?
The Nano Banana name and its banana icon belong to Google, so we don't host or redistribute them. This page is about designing your own logo with the Nano Banana 2.1 model.

Why Nano Banana is good at logo text
Google says Nano Banana 2.1 improved text rendering and infographic layout over Nano Banana 2 [1][2]. Its image-generation guide puts logos under "accurate text in images" and recommends stating the exact text, a descriptive font style and the overall design [4]. In our outputs, short names in quotes came out spelled right; extra words the model invents are the more common problem, so close the prompt with "no other text".
A concept, not a master file
Nano Banana 2.1 returns pixels. That is fine for a website header, a social avatar or a pitch deck, but a logo that goes on signs, packaging or a trademark application needs a clean vector master. Use the AI output to pick a direction quickly, then have it redrawn.
For a transparent PNG, generate on a plain background and remove it with Remove Background. For a bigger file, run the image through the upscaler or regenerate the final concept at 4K.
Brand kits from one reference
Once the logo exists, Nano Banana 2.1's reference images do the rest: attach the logo as image 1 and ask for a business card, a mug, a storefront sign or a 4:1 banner. Name every reference in the prompt and repeat what must not change. Up to 14 references fit in one request [1].
