2014 – 2016
The original logotype of Flipgrid depicts a green rectangle with a nameplate on it. The top right corner of the shape was laid down, so the entire right ending of the rectangle was tilted below. The watermark had a soft sans-serif typeface with rounded lowercase letters
2016 – 2016
In 2016, they renovated the logo. The rectangle became brighter, and its angles became rounded. The name got an uppercase font with narrower gaps between large bold letters. However, this logo hadn’t lived for a long – Flipgrid Company had been using it for only 5 months, from July to December.
2016 – 2016
In December 2016, the brand designers of the company had changed the logotype of the brand once again. It was narrowed and downsized, while the elements hadn’t changed. This is the most short-lasting logotype in the Flipgrid logo history. It was in use for just a month.
2017 – 2017
In the next month, the new logotype was brought to the company. It was the similar rectangle, but slightly enlarged.
2017 – 2018
In August 2017 the Flipgrid mark was changed once again. It received a brighter shade of green. The folded part of the shape had changed the coloring. If in the previous logotypes it was dark green, now its palette mixed dark blue and dark green shades. The inscription with the name of the brand also gained a new type. It had way bolder lines than previously.
2018 – 2019
In the following logotype, the dot was removed from the ending of the lettering. The inscription itself became smaller. As for the rectangle, so its corners became more rounded, while its tilted part was turned back to dark green painting.
2019 – 2020
Then, the new variation of the rectangle and the nameplate was brought to the company. The rectangle became brighter, and its left corners were made even more rounded. The design team of the company had used a typeface with lowercase letters (except for the first F). The gaps became even fewer than in the previous versions, and the central ‘p’ and ‘g’ were completely connected.
2020 – 2022
The 2020 edition of the brand logotype depicts the familiar inscription downsized and placed to the right side from the emblem. The emblem itself consists of multiple ovals, crossing each other and forming a circle at the center of the emblem. In the circle, the designers have drawn a plus sign.
2022 – Today
Font
Since 2020 logotype, the corporate design team has been using a soft sans-serif typeface for the lettering. The characters have very small gaps in between, due to which the nameplate takes up less space. The letters of the name have a typical general appearance.

The brand uses a multicolored palette. For the name, it’s using a solid black shade, while the emblem, consisting of many ovals, has a variety of colors. At the perimeter of the emblem, there are four petals. They’re colored red, blue, yellow, and pink. At the center, there is a green circle with a white crest on it.
