How to use Logo Pattern Generator
Drop in your mark, pick your brand colors, and get a pattern that repeats without a seam — and that comes back as the same pattern every time you open it.
A short guide to getting good results, plus answers to the questions people ask most.
How to use it
- 1
Start with one mark, and Scatter
One mark, the default scatter, and a look at the result tells you more than any amount of setting up. Add a second mark once you know the density and scale you want — the engines cycle through every mark that is switched on, so a second one changes the whole rhythm.
- 2
Switch to Repeat before you commit
Tile mode shows the unit you are exporting; Repeat mode fills the stage with it and outlines the unit inside. A seam, a rhythm you did not intend, or a corridor of empty space only shows up in Repeat, and all three are cheap to fix and expensive to notice later.
- 3
Color cycles through the palette in order
Cycle walks the palette in the order the swatches are in, so dragging a color's position changes the output rather than just the panel. Set a mark to Keep original colors when it is already the right colors — a two-color logotype does not want tinting.
- 4
The seed is the pattern
Randomize rolls a new seed and nothing else, so you can hunt for an arrangement without losing your settings. When you find one, save the kit — the seed is what makes it come back, and it is the one number you cannot reconstruct by eye.
About this tool
A brand pattern made from the logo is one of the few identity assets that gets used every week — endpapers, packaging fill, a slide background, the inside of a mailer — and it is usually made by hand in a vector app, which means it exists in one file, at one size, in one colorway, and nobody but its author can change it. The alternatives are pattern generators that draw shapes you did not design, or seamless-tile tools that quietly are not seamless: the tile looks right on its own and grows a visible grid the moment anything is filled with it. This tool takes the mark you already have and does the one thing those two categories both skip — every mark that crosses the edge of the tile is drawn again on the opposite side, so what leaves the right-hand edge arrives at the left.
Two arrangements and a full repeat vocabulary cover what a guideline page or a print run asks for. Scatter tosses the mark with blue-noise spacing and collision judged on the mark's real outline, with size variation, rotation range and step, and an optional mirror. Grid sets it on rows and columns from spacing or from counts, with alternate rows turned or mirrored. Either one repeats as a block, half drop, brick or hex at 1/2, 1/3, 2/3, 1/4, 3/4, 1/5, 2/5, 1/6 or 1/8 — every fraction closes exactly and the exported tile already contains the whole repeat — and any of twelve wallpaper symmetries can be applied to the cell first. The mark keeps its own colors unless you choose a mode; the palette is read from the mark on the first upload and drives Single, Cycle, Per-mark or Random recoloring. The tile is measured in inches, centimetres or pixels at a print resolution, snaps to divide a fabric width, and a seam-check view runs every join through the middle of the screen. Everything is derived from a seed and a handful of numbers, so a kit reopened next month is pixel-identical, and one saved kit holds every approved pattern for a brand.
Features
It genuinely tiles
Any mark crossing an edge is emitted again at the opposite edge, every drop fraction closes exactly, and the Seam check view slides the repeat by half a tile so a join that is not clean cannot hide.
Every repeat a textile designer names
Block, half drop, brick and hex at nine drop fractions, plus twelve wallpaper symmetries — mirrors, glides, half- and quarter-turns, the kaleidoscope groups — applied to the cell before it repeats.
A toss that is actually even
Scatter places each mark as far from its neighbours as it can and avoids collision on the mark's real rotated outline, with size variation, a rotation range and a rotation step, so a wordmark spaces along its length.
Your colors, at print size
The mark keeps its original colors by default and the palette is sampled from it. Vector marks stay crisp at every zoom and in every export: PNG or JPEG at inches × DPI with the physical size embedded, an SVG tile, an SVG pattern fill, a repeat sheet, or a CSS background.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Logo Pattern Generator really free?
Yes. Every engine, every export size and both file formats are free, with no sign-up and no watermark. An account is optional and only does one thing: it keeps your pattern kits so you can reopen them on another device and send a client a share link.
Does my logo get uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read and drawn entirely in your browser and never leaves your device. The only time anything is sent anywhere is if you choose to save a kit to an account, and then it is your own kit going to your own storage.
Will I get the same pattern back next time?
Yes, exactly. The pattern is worked out from a seed and a short list of numbers rather than stored as a list of positions, so reopening a saved kit reproduces the same pattern down to the pixel. A brand pattern that regenerates differently on a Tuesday is not much use as a brand pattern.
What can I use the pattern for?
Anything you like, including commercial work — the pattern is made from your artwork and the tool claims nothing. Bear in mind that the output is only as licensable as the mark you put in, so check that first if the logo is not yours.
