First, let’s discuss one important element we’ll all need to get used to—Logos will no longer be called Logos 11 or any other number. Instead, the new Logos redesign comes with a new designation. They will call it simply Logos and then use version numbers like version 37, the shipping version of the brand new Logos, which many will want to call Logos 11. Think of Logos 11.37, but they’re dropping only the 11 part of it.
Second, the new Logos Redesign moved around many things thanks to a new Logos Resource Toolbar in Logos version 37. You might ask, “Where is that button I need?” We’ll show you where that button went and the new user interface of Logos version 37 and beyond.
Get the New Logos Now
If you read this article and decide to invest in the new Logos subscription, visit their subscription page. You can also invest in a library to get extra non-subscription content. Let me recommend a few things.
First, the new Logos comes in 3 subscription levels targeted at 3 groups of users.
- Logos Premium—for the average user, it costs $9.99/month or $99.99/year unless you already own Logos 10 Bronze, in which case you’ll only pay $6.99 or $69.99. Use my link above to get two months free.
- Logos Pro – for pastors or serious Bible students who don’t need academic tools. It costs $14.99/month unless you own Logso 10 Silver and up, in which case it only costs $9.99/month. Yearly discounts cost $149.99 or $99.99, and using my link gets you two free months.
- Logos Max – the highest tier meant for academic users. It costs $19.99/month or $12.99/month for Logos 10 Full Set owners. Logos 10 owners pay $199.99/year or $129.99/year.
These subscription tiers come with discounts for people who subscribe for two years. You get five months free.

Subscriber Perks for the New Logos 11
Logos doesn’t call it Logos 11 anymore, but they do still offer some great perks. They include the following:
- 5% off store-wide for all subscription levels.
- Extra free book each month for everyone who subscribes.
- 8 Logos Mobile Ed courses focused on the people Logos expects to subscribe to each tier.
- Logos Sermons adds some sermon prep tools for Pro and Max users.
- 5% Annual Reward for Pro and Max users gets you a discount of 5% of your annual spending in February each year for active subscribers as a reward for subscribing. So, if you spent $2,000 on Logos in the past year, you’ll get a coupon for $100.
Libraries for the New Logos Subscription
Second, get one of the 2025 Logos Libraries, which are only available to subscribers. These libraries use the same names as previous versions. They range from Starter, which costs as little as $23.79 for Logos 10 owners or $33.99 for owners of older packages, to Collector’s Library for $10,999.99. The best bang for the buck comes at the Silver or Gold levels, costing $250 or $850 for new users. Owners of previous versions will pay less.
The above are for Standard Track Libraries. They confusingly offer many other tracks for Leaders, Pastors, and Researchers, and they add to that their denominational Libraries. I suggest that you start with the Standard if you’re an average user. Preachers and pastors should look at the Preacher Track Libraries, and academic types or language nerds should go with Researchers Libraries.
Since I’m a preacher, I’d go with the Preacher Track and look at the Silver or God Libraries. This would add to my library the ESV Expository Commentary Series or Biblical Greek Made Simple for Silver. In Gold, I’d get the Preaching the Word Commentary, The Concise Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament, and The Preacher’s Outline and Sermon Bible. Each of those links is a partner link.
Logos Redesign Changes the Home Page to the Dashboard
We’ll start with a minor change. Logos used to boast a cluttered Home Page, including things like book information, layouts, reading plans, and ads. You could add them by clicking a plus button in the upper right corner.
The new Logos Redesign changed the Home Page to the Dashboard. It’s not that different, but it has a new name. If you use the default toolbar location, look for it in the upper left corner. People who position their toolbar on the top edge of the program window will find the button to the right of the Logos logo. Hover over it, and you’ll see the popup tooltip that shows the Dashboard label.
You’ll find a few important features on the new Dashboard.
- Welcome to Logos Video – click this video in the upper left corner labeled Welcome to Logos Pro or whatever subscription level you use. You can watch the short intro video that explains many of these new changes.
- What would you like to do today? – The lighter blue square next to the Welcome video square shows five options, including…
- Personal study
- Group Bible study

- Help Manual – opens the Help Manual built into Logos.
New Logos Resource Toolbar
Logos now offers a helpful new toolbar called the Resource Toolbar. This toolbar reorganizes the buttons to make the program more efficient; however, changes take time to get used to. Let’s look at this new Resource Toolbar.
The new Resource Toolbar now has a set of tabs across the top of the Bible window. You can toggle it on or off by clicking on the names of each tab on the toolbar.
- The Back Button takes you back to your browsing history, like you’d find in a web browser.
- In the Book Dropdown Box, click the down arrow button with your book cover. You will see a list of your Bible translations, commentaries, dictionaries, or other books similar to the one currently displayed.
- An Entry Box lets you type in a Bible passage or other entry, which will take you to the passage or article you entered.
- Home – shows the primary tools in a toolbar below the Resource Toolbar as follows:
- Contents
- Favorites
- History
- Chapter with Up and Down Arrows
- Link set – this used to be in a different location, so note that you now connect books to the Bible translation you want to drive the others. For example, set your commentary to follow your Bible when you move from passage to passage.
- Insights – a new feature that shows your top related books and passages connected to the passage open in a Bible translation.
- Search – opens a search box. Notice the three links at the right end. YOu can click these to narrow your search results or change where Logos will look for results.

- View Continued…
- Paged view – shows you either a paged view with columns like you might find in a printed bible with multiple columns of text or show a single column that scrolls. YOu can also change how many columns of text show up.
- Location bar – turn on and off the Location bar that shows where you are in the current book or Bible, like “Hebrews > Chapter 4” seen in the above screenshot.

- Send to – sends the current selection to a Clipping, a Passage List, a Canvas, or Proclaim.
- Print/Export – opens the Print/Export dialog box.
You’ll see a blue New button, which opens a Logos Community post. This will likely go away eventually. Also, at the far right end, you’ll see a button that looks like an up or down arrow in a circle. This toggles the Resource Toolbar on or off. Finally, there’s the menu button (it looks like three dots stacked vertically). Here, you’ll see controls that work with the current book window.
- Find in this panel – type something, and you’ll see corresponding highlights showing the text in the open book.
- Send hyperlinks here – when you click a Bible reference link in another open book window, the links are sent to this window.
- Open in a floating window and Open all in a floating window – opens the current book in a separate window or floating window or all the books in that tab in floating windows.
- Duplicate this tab – open another copy of the current book in the first tab in a second tab, just like it.
- Reopen the closed tab – if you recently closed a tab, it opens again.
- Close this tab, other tabs, or all tabs – self-explanatory.
