What Is the ChatGPT Logo?
The ChatGPT logo is the OpenAI "blossom", a rosette of interlocking curved strokes that form a six-sided knot, shown in a single colour. ChatGPT is the AI chatbot made by OpenAI, the San Francisco research company founded in December 2015, and it was released to the public on 30 November 2022.
ChatGPT does not have a symbol of its own: it carries its maker's blossom, usually beside or above the ChatGPT name. The blossom is available as the ChatGPT logo SVG.

What the ChatGPT Logo Means
Because the blossom is OpenAI's company symbol, putting it on ChatGPT ties the chatbot directly to the lab that built it. Press coverage of the 2025 redesign also called the blossom OpenAI's "research icon".
When OpenAI reworked its identity in 2025, head of design Veit Moeller said the brief from chief executive Sam Altman was to make it "more organic and more human", while keeping a sense of authority and technical skill. That brief shaped the details. The redrawn blossom has cleaner lines and a slightly larger open space at its centre. In the new OpenAI wordmark, the O has a perfectly round outside and a deliberately imperfect inside, meant to push back against machine-like precision.
Moeller said the new designs were made traditionally, with ChatGPT used only to help calculate the weights of the typeface.
ChatGPT Logo History
OpenAI was founded in December 2015 and launched ChatGPT on 30 November 2022. Coverage of the 2025 redesign credited the original blossom to Sam Altman and co-founder Ilya Sutskever.
On 4 February 2025 OpenAI unveiled what it called its first full rebrand. Moeller said Altman had asked the design team to look at the identity just over a year earlier, because the company had been presenting itself with a jumble of fonts, marks and colours. The team, led by Moeller and design director Shannon Jager, worked with the Berlin type foundry ABC Dinamo on a custom typeface, OpenAI Sans, and with Studio Dumbar in Rotterdam on motion.
The rebrand redrew the blossom, set the wordmark in OpenAI Sans and added a new colour palette. Coverage reported that the new look would appear on OpenAI.com and on every version of ChatGPT, from the browser to the mobile apps.
ChatGPT and Claude
ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude both use abstract marks rather than letters or pictures. OpenAI's blossom is a closed, symmetrical knot shown in one colour, while Claude's mark is an open starburst in orange (compare the Claude logo). For more brands like ChatGPT, browse our tech logos.
