The primary logo, designed by sports cartoonist Ray Gotto, consists of "Mets" written in orange script trimmed in white across a blue representation of the New York City skyline with a white suspension bridge in the foreground, all contained in an orange circle with orange baseball stitching across the image. Each part of the skyline has special meaning—at the left is a church spire, symbolic of Brooklyn, the borough of churches; the second building from the left is the [[Williamsburgh Savings Bank Building]], the tallest building in Brooklyn at the time of the team's founding; next is the [[Woolworth Building]]; after a general skyline view of midtown comes the [[Empire State Building]]; at the far right is the [[headquarters of the United Nations]]. The suspension bridge in the center symbolizes that the Mets, by bringing National League baseball back to New York, represent all five boroughs; many of New York's major bridges are suspension designs.<ref name="timeline1" /> In 1999, the logo received a slight alteration; a small "NY" originally placed to the left of the team script was removed.

With the introduction of black as an official color, an alternate team logo was created in 1999. It is identical to the original logo, but the skyline is black instead of blue and the "Mets" script is blue trimmed in orange and white instead of orange trimmed in white (the alternate black jerseys displayed the primary blue and orange logo on the left sleeves in 1998; in 1999 this was changed to the alternate black and blue logo). The logo fell into disuse after the Mets dropped the alternate black jerseys and caps in 2012. When the team brought back the black jerseys in 2021, they feature the blue and orange logo patch instead of the black and blue logo.

Toward the end of the 2014 season, the Mets made a slight alteration to their logo on their [[Facebook]] and [[Twitter]] accounts.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://news.sportslogos.net/2014/09/16/did-the-mets-try-to-sneak-a-new-logo-past-us/baseball/|last=Creamer|first=Chris|date=September 16, 2014|title=Did the Mets Try to Sneak a New Logo Past Us?|website=SportsLogos.net}}</ref> The roof of the building to the far right was tilted, changing it from the United Nations building to the [[Citigroup Center]]. Negative fan reaction to this change resulted in the building being immediately reverted to the UN building.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/17/sports/baseball/alteration-to-mets-logo-on-twitter-and-facebook-draws-attention.html|author=[[Richard Sandomir]]|date=September 16, 2014|title=Alteration to Mets Logo on Twitter and Facebook Draws Attention|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref> No other notable changes have been made to the logo since.

The cap logo consists of an orange, interlocking "NY" identical to the logo used by the New York Giants in their final years, and is on a blue cap reminiscent of the caps worn by the Brooklyn Dodgers.
