The UX community has been glowing with creative energy this this week. Designers, students, freelancers, and seasoned professionals came together for the UX 3.0 Logo Design Contest, hosted by Ovi Design Academy as part of World Usability Day 2025. The challenge was simple but profound: capture the future of User Experience design in a single visual mark.
The contest opened its doors to a delightful variety of logo concepts. Each submission brought its own interpretation of what UX 3.0 means—sometimes symbolic, sometimes geometric, sometimes bold, and sometimes quietly thoughtful. Many logos were submitted, and each one carried a spark of individuality.
After multiple rounds of review, discussion, and careful filtering, the judging panel narrowed down the entries to a refined shortlist. From this collection of standout ideas, one design rose to the top.
Venkat approached the contest with impressive clarity and professionalism. His submission included well-prepared final logo files in SVG format, along with a detailed document explaining the iconography and the thinking behind each visual element. This level of detail made his work easy to evaluate—and even easier to appreciate.
Venkat described his idea with refreshing honesty:
“Simplicity, and how UX—no matter how it evolves—always keeps empathy at its core.”
UX 3.0, in his interpretation, is not just about new technologies or futuristic interfaces. It’s about carrying forward the timeless foundation of user-centered design: feeling what the user feels, understanding their intentions, and making every interaction effortless.
This philosophy is beautifully represented through the logo’s most memorable gesture.
In Venkat’s design, the ‘U’ and the ‘3’ subtly merge to form a heart-like shape. This gentle visual metaphor symbolizes empathy, human-centered thinking, and the emotional grounding of UX. It’s a reminder that design is not just functional—it’s personal, emotional, and deeply connected to people.
The result is a mark that feels simple yet expressive, modern yet timeless. It carries the essence of UX without saying a word.
Among all the shortlisted entries, Venkat’s design caught the judges’ attention for several reasons. It had conceptual depth without feeling forced. Its geometry felt clean, scalable, and visually balanced. And its symbolism was universal—something that can be recognized and understood across contexts.
It’s an intuitive, memorable logo with room to grow into the future of UX.
