The Browns are the only National Football League team without a helmet logo. The logoless helmet serves as the Browns' official logo. The organization has used several promotional logos throughout the years; players' numbers were painted on the helmets from [[1957 NFL season|1957]] to [[1960 NFL season|1960]]; and an unused "CB" logo<ref>{{cite web |url=http://content.sportslogos.net/logos/7/155/full/5225.gif |title=Image of Cleveland Browns "CB" helmet |access-date=June 2, 2013 |archive-date=May 8, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130508124359/http://content.sportslogos.net/logos/7/155/full/5225.gif |url-status=live }}</ref> was created in 1965.<ref>{{cite news |last=Grzegorek |first=Vince |url=http://www.clevescene.com/64-and-counting/archives/2010/02/09/the-hunt-for-the-great-orange-brown-and-white-whale-unraveling-the-mystery-of-the-1965-cb-cleveland-browns-helmet-logo |title=The Hunt for the Great Orange, Brown, and White Whale: Unraveling the Mystery of the 1965 "CB" Cleveland Browns Helmet Logo &#124; '64 and Counting: Scene's Sports Blog |publisher=Cleveland Scene |date=February 9, 2010 |access-date=June 2, 2013 |archive-date=June 19, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130619054321/http://www.clevescene.com/64-and-counting/archives/2010/02/09/the-hunt-for-the-great-orange-brown-and-white-whale-unraveling-the-mystery-of-the-1965-cb-cleveland-browns-helmet-logo |url-status=live }}</ref> But for much of their history, the Browns' helmets have been an unadorned [[burnt orange]] color with a top stripe of dark brown (officially called "[[seal brown]]") divided by a white stripe.

The team has had various promotional logos throughout the years, such as the "[[Brownie Elf]]" mascot or a Brown "B" in a white football. While Art Modell did away with the elf in the mid-1960s (believing it to be too childish), its use has been revived since the team's return in 1999. The popularity of the [[Dawg Pound]] section at Huntington Bank Field has led to a brown and orange dog being used for various Browns functions. But overall, the orange, logo-less helmet continues as the primary trademark of the Cleveland Browns. The Browns have used special commemorative logos during individual seasons, such as the 1999 logo to celebrate the team's return to the NFL, a 60th-anniversary logo for the 2006 season, and a 75th-anniversary logo in 2021.<ref>{{cite web |title=Cleveland Browns Logos |url=https://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/155/Cleveland_Browns/ |work=[[Sportslogos.net]] |access-date=February 1, 2021 |archive-date=January 28, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210128024104/https://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/155/Cleveland_Browns/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

The current logos and wordmarks were introduced on February 24, 2015, with the helmet design remaining largely as is, the only differences being minor color changes to the shade of orange used on the helmet and the facemask being changed from gray to brown.<ref name="NewBrownsLogos2015"/><ref name="BrownsLogosSneakPeek"/><ref>{{cite news|last=Patra|first=Kevin|title=Cleveland Browns unveil new logos|url=https://www.nfl.com/news/cleveland-browns-unveil-new-logos-0ap3000000473731|publisher=[[National Football League]]|date=February 24, 2015|access-date=August 29, 2015|archive-date=September 5, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905122237/http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000473731/article/cleveland-browns-unveil-new-logos|url-status=live}}</ref> A new secondary "dawg" logo was introduced in 2023. The logo, featuring a [[bull mastiff]] dog, was created by graphic designer Houston Mark and was the winning entry of a fan vote. It features numerous small homages to the city of Cleveland, state of Ohio, and the team's history.<ref>{{cite web |title=Cleveland Browns Name Two Dawg Pound Logo Finalists |url=https://news.sportslogos.net/2023/05/25/cleveland-browns-name-two-dawg-pound-logo-finalists/football/ |date=May 25, 2023 |work=[[SportsLogos.net]] |author=Lind, Andrew |access-date=June 13, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Browns unveil new dawg logo |url=https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/browns-unveil-new-dawg-logo |date=June 12, 2023 |author=Poisal, Anthony |access-date=June 13, 2023 |work=ClevelandBrowns.com}}</ref>
