Designing a FiveM server logo that works everywhere
Make two versions: a full logo (name + mark) and a compact mark that reads at 96×96 and inside a circle. Use bold shapes, few details and strong contrast on dark backgrounds; export an SVG master plus transparent PNGs (for example 512, 256 and 96 px). Avoid Rockstar/GTA logos and fonts that imply official endorsement, and test the logo in the real places — server list, Discord, loading screen — before finalising.
A server logo has a harder job than most: it has to work as a 96-pixel icon in the server list, on a dark loading screen, as a Discord avatar in a circle and on a TikTok thumbnail. Designing for the smallest and most cropped use first avoids a logo that only looks good on the designer’s mockup.

#The versions you need
| Version | Used for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Full logo | Loading screen, website, banners | Name + mark, horizontal or stacked |
| Compact mark | Server icon (96×96), Discord avatar, favicon | Must survive circle crops |
| Monochrome | Watermarks, overlays, merch | White and black versions |
#Legibility at small sizes
- Few, bold shapes; thin lines and small text disappear at 96 px.
- One or two letters (initials) often work better than the full name.
- Keep important parts inside the centre circle — Discord crops avatars round.
- Check it at 48 px too; that is how it looks in a crowded list.
Server icon specifics: FiveM server icon.
#Formats and exports
| File | Why |
|---|---|
logo.svg | Master; scales to any size |
logo-512.png | Discord, website, loading screen |
logo-256.png | General use |
icon-96.png | FiveM server icon (96×96 PNG) |
Use transparent PNGs so the logo sits on any background. For the loading screen, an SVG or a 2× PNG stays sharp on 1440p and 4K — see resolution and scaling.
#Style choices that work
- Test on dark backgrounds — FiveM, Discord and most loading screens are dark.
- One accent colour; see the branding kit.
- A display font with a licence that allows logo use.
- Avoid copying the GTA V logo, the Rockstar logo or the Pricedown style so closely that it looks official.
#Briefing a designer
- Name, genre and tone (serious RP, gang RP, drift, racing).
- Two or three logos you like and why.
- Where it will be used, including the 96×96 icon.
- Deliverables: SVG, PNG sizes, monochrome versions, font files or names.
- Ownership: full rights to use and modify the logo.
