HelloFresh Logo PNG
The HelloFresh logo has become a service emblem that simplifies cooking by offering ready-to-use ingredient kits and recipes delivered to your doorstep. The idea quickly resonated with people who value convenience, and through recommendations from early customers, it became the go-to solution for those constantly wondering, “What’s for dinner?”
HelloFresh was founded in Berlin in November 2011 by Jessica Nilsson, Thomas Griesel, and Dominik Richter, with backing from Rocket Internet. The founders began by packing meal boxes themselves and buying ingredients from local markets. In 2012, €10 million in funding supported launches in the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands.
During 2013 and 2014, HelloFresh expanded its logistics network, opened distribution centers, formed supplier partnerships, and added menu personalization. A further $50 million in funding supported growth and service improvements. In 2015, the range widened to include meals for different dietary needs and new markets, while a mobile app followed in 2016 with ordering tools and cooking guidance.
The company listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in 2017, gaining capital for expansion. In 2018, it acquired US rival Green Chef, adding organic and specialized meal options, and launched in Canada. During 2019, new distribution centers and automated packing systems increased production capacity and changed order fulfillment.
Acquisitions of Factor75 and Youfoodz in 2020 and 2021 expanded the business into prepared meals. In 2022, HelloFresh updated its recommendation system, mobile app, and customer tools. By 2023, the company operated in 17 countries, supported by a large supply chain, local food suppliers, automated fulfillment, and menu-planning systems developed from the small Berlin delivery operation started in 2011.

2011 – 2016
The HelloFresh logo is attractive because its green color sets the overall tone of the design. The background is a circle with irregular edges, creating associations with authenticity and quality.
The central detail is a wavy ribbon with the brand name. Its smooth curves make it light and evoke a natural cooking process. A stylized leaf at the bottom completes the composition, symbolizing nature, freshness, and natural products.
The title is handwritten with a slight rightward tilt, creating a sense of friendliness and a personal touch.
The main color is bright green, associated with health, naturalness, and environmental care. White text on the background contrasts, emphasizing freshness. All colors work because the company’s products evoke associations of usefulness for a modern family.
The stylized sheet under the ribbon enhances the natural theme and emphasizes quality. Its minimalist design preserves the logo’s overall laconic style.
The dotted line surrounding the circle evokes a sense of home comfort and traditional recipes, making the emblem warmer and more complete.
The name “HelloFresh” sounds friendly and positive. The word “Hello” conveys hospitality, and “Fresh” emphasizes product freshness and quality.
2016 – 2020
The updated logo has become more modern and expressive. The background features an image that can be interpreted in different ways: some see the silhouette of a lemon or lime, while others see a cutting board. In any case, it connects with natural products and the comfort of home cooking.
The green color has become more saturated, strengthening associations with freshness and naturalness, important brand qualities. The oval shape adds softness and looks more natural than the previous strict circle. A slight curve at the top, reminiscent of a lemon petiole, completes the composition.
The title is divided into two words placed in the center. “Hello” is handwritten with rounded lines, creating a feeling of warmth and friendliness. “FRESH” is written in a strict font, emphasizing reliability and quality. The contrast between the fonts creates a harmony between informality and professionalism.
The brightly colored image of a lemon or lime enhances associations with natural products. A subtle touch in the background complements the image, emphasizing its natural qualities. A slight shadow of the text adds volume, highlighting the inscription on a green background.
The brand name remains a symbol of freshness and openness. “Hello conveys friendliness, while “Fresh” emphasizes the brand’s main goal of offering fresh products for home cooking. This creates a positive perception of the company.
2020 – today
The updated version of the HelloFresh logo focuses on a clear brand identity. The main symbol was lime, which is associated with naturalness and quality. The design is minimalistic, modern, and bright.
The background, in the form of lime, evokes associations with freshness and natural products. Its shape is almost perfect, with slight curves emphasizing its natural origin. The blur in the upper right corner creates a fresh effect, as if the lime has just been sprinkled with drops of juice or touched by the light, giving the emblem texture and depth.
Lime’s bright green color has remained the main color, symbolizing harmony with nature and the freshness of products.
The logo’s text is shifted to the right, balancing the image and the word. The title “HELLO FRESH” is in large bold font. The words are placed one under the other, adding symmetry and ease of perception.
The font is simple but has character. It is reminiscent of Gardner Sans or Magazine Grotesque but with individual refinements. Smooth, rounded-corner characters give the text a friendly, approachable look, and capital letters enhance recognizability.
Lime in the logo symbolizes several ideas:
- Freshness: Products that are pleasant to work with and that I want to try.
- Energy: Bright green is associated with the lightness and vigor of good food.
- Nature: A connection with natural ingredients and sustainability.
The symbol became the brand’s visual basis, emphasizing its individuality and mission to provide fresh home products.
The emblem has become simpler and more expressive. The new approach allows it to be used on various media while maintaining readability and attractiveness.
