The Owl House Logo
Headstrong and self-assured, Luz unexpectedly finds a doorway that leads to a magical realm on the Boiling Isles. After becoming friends with a little demon named King and a rebellious but amiable witch named Eda, Luz is compelled to pretend to be a witch in an effort to escape the stigma attached to those who do not belong to the magical world. As Luz, along with her new friends, becomes part of the amazing adventures that await her in an unknown world, she finds her cherished dream and decides to learn the craft of witchcraft at all costs.
Meaning and history
The Owl House was released in early 2020 in the United States. The series has a difficult fate. The premiere was planned for 2019 but moved to 2020, and after the third season, the series was canceled. Dana Terrace, the creator, worked as a storyboard artist for Gravity Falls, and after its completion, she offered her own project to the studio. The Owl House is Terrace’s first project… and Disney’s first horror-comedy. She previously also worked on the Duck Tales.
What is Owl House?

In this world, Luz will immerse herself in mastering the craft of witchcraft and various adventures.
2017
The logo captures attention with its stark contrast, featuring a stylized owl face set within a golden medallion, hinting at mystery and wisdom. “The Owl House” text, split by a horizontal line, merges elegance and modernity, with a font that balances sharp and soft edges, reflective of the show’s blend of edgy themes and heartfelt moments. The background’s textured darkness suggests the enigmatic world that the series invites its audience into, promising adventures as shadowy and profound as the night.
2018
In the updated logo, the owl emblem remains a central figure, now enclosed within a sleek, white border, radiating a crisp, clean aesthetic. The “The Owl House” text beneath has transitioned to a more vibrant, white font, standing out boldly against the gradient backdrop, which shifts from a warm orange to a rich red, adding a dynamic, fiery feel to the overall design. Above, the Disney insignia is prominent, now in a golden hue, signifying the brand’s endorsement and evoking a sense of quality and enchantment. This iteration of the logo retains its mysterious allure while infusing a fresh, energetic vibe that resonates with the animated series’ evolution.
2019
Transitioning from the previous design, the logo now adopts a more subdued palette, with the owl emblem taking on a golden hue against a muted golden medallion, conveying a sense of subtle sophistication. The typeface of “The Owl House” has shifted to a pristine white, contrasting starkly with the deep black background, enhancing readability and impact. Below, the addition of “Disney Television Animation” in a refined script acknowledges the studio’s craftsmanship, anchoring the logo with a sense of prestige. This evolution presents a logo that’s both refined and connected to its roots, reflective of a series maturing in depth and narrative.
2020 – 2023
Although the series has horror elements, this is not really reflected in the logo. However, it surely has a lot of magic and mystery in it. Each word is printed on a new line with the article featuring a smaller font size. The designers chose a serif font with long and thin serifs that added a striking effect and went well with other pointed strokes. The star, though, is the owl emblem that is placed in the center of the “O”. Its symmetrical image with dark lines that seem to be engraved creates a mystical and spellbinding effect. Besides being a direct symbol for the name, the character looks very appropriate for the series genre. It is also often used to represent wisdom, which the girl desired to receive at the Owl House.
Font and Color
A golden color is a symbol of warmth, beauty, victory, glory, wisdom, and experience. This color also has the following meaning: determination to take action, fearlessness, and desire to stand out. This color comes from fairy tales. It gives self-confidence, joy, warmth, and faith in one’s strength, relaxes, and energizes for success.
For the inscription, the designer chose a daring font with bracketed slab serifs. The strokes had varying thicknesses and were pointed in some places. This gave the logo a very unique look. It closely resembles Foxcroft Shaded NF by Nick’s Fonts.
