Brandmarks as a Clearbit Logo API alternative
A focused replacement for retired Clearbit logo URLs when company images are all you need.
Clearbit’s public Logo API made a common task simple: give it a domain and display the company’s logo. The service was retired on December 8, 2025, according to Clearbit’s sunset announcement.
If that image was the only part of Clearbit your project used, Brandmarks may be a useful replacement for companies in its catalog. You can use a public file for a known company or request beta access for domain-based lookup.
Keep a simple logo workflow
A logo beside a customer name or a stock ticker can be a small, self-contained feature. Brandmarks supplies full logos and square marks, matching color and white artwork, and standard canvases for repeated layouts.
If you also rely on company enrichment or buyer-intent data, you will still need a provider for those features. Clearbit’s transition guidance points users toward HubSpot’s data products. Brandmarks replaces only the logo portion of that workflow.
For a fixed list: copy a public image URL
Find a company in the catalog and copy its SVG or PNG link. No API key is required for these static files.
<img
src="https://img.brandmarks.dev/logos/v1/mark/AAPL.png"
alt="Apple" width="64" height="64"
style="object-fit:contain"
/>
Static paths use exact library file keys, such as AAPL, rather than domains. This approach works well for a known set of companies in a report, spreadsheet, or website. See static delivery for paths and hosting limits.
For domain lookup: use the beta image endpoint
An old URL such as https://logo.clearbit.com/apple.com can be replaced with:
<img
src="https://brandmarks-api.brandmarks-web.workers.dev/v1/logo/apple.com?token=YOUR_PUBLISHABLE_KEY&format=png&variant=mark"
alt="Apple" width="64" height="64"
style="object-fit:contain"
/>
Request beta access and replace the placeholder with your Brandmarks publishable key. Routes, keys, and parameters differ from Clearbit, so update the complete URL.
What to check before switching
- Your company list. Brandmarks resolves companies already in its catalog; it does not discover new logos on demand.
- The destination. Choose PNG for spreadsheets and email. SVG is useful in compatible browsers and presentation tools.
- Missing images. Unknown companies return 404 by default. The optional monogram fallback is SVG, even when the request asks for PNG.
- Your traffic. Public files have hosting limits, and the API is in invite-only beta with manually issued keys.
For a production replacement that needs more identifier types or platform features, Logo.dev and Brandfetch are worth considering. Brandmarks is a narrower option when the catalog fits and you want a consistent set of artwork.
Check your companies or display your first logo.
