Create your own Vinewood banner for FiveM

Put more than one thing on the hill

A sign does not have to be one word. The composed board lets you stack as many pieces as you like on the same hillside: a server name, a tagline under it in a different typeface, your logo beside them, a second picture on the far end. Each piece is dragged where you want it, resized by its corners, rotated with a knob, and snapped to the board centre or to the piece next to it with guides that appear as you move. Everything you place is cut as its own 3D model and every one of them joins the same baked animation, so a board of ten pieces runs exactly as cheaply as a single word.

82 typefaces, in the styles a server actually wants

Signature faces like Pricedown and a rebuild of the stock Vinewood letters; poster, condensed and retro for the ones that have to read from across the map; techno, western, stencil, horror, street, arcade, script and serif for everything else — 12 groups in all. Letters are cut from the typeface's own outlines rather than traced from a picture of them, so curves stay smooth no matter how large the sign gets, and you can upload a font of your own if your brand uses one.

Your words on the hillside, not a texture swap

Each letter is its own model, placed along the ridge with the curve, spacing and tilt of the original sign. You get up to two lines of ten characters, in any of 82 typefaces — including Pricedown, the heavy rounded display face with the tapered strokes you see on vintage car-show posters. Pick the stock letter models for the lightest possible build, or have the studio cut real 3D geometry from a typeface so the sign reads in your own brand.

Animated without a script

Most custom signs animate from a client script that recolours the models every frame. This one does not. The colour cycle is baked into a texture strip and driven by a UV animation clip inside the map, the same mechanism the base game uses for moving billboards. Nothing runs at runtime, nothing breaks when a resource restarts, and the sign looks the same for a player who joined an hour ago as for one who just connected.

Your logo as real geometry

Upload a transparent PNG and the studio traces its alpha channel, simplifies the contour and extrudes it into a solid model. The empty parts stay empty in game — you can see the sky through the middle of a shield. The board sizes itself to span the support columns without clipping into the hillside, and you can stretch it across the full width if you want the artwork to fill the ridge.

Night lights built into the models

Real light sources sit inside the drawables, with the flash pattern, range, corona and the hours they switch on all set before the build. The engine drives them, so they cost nothing and behave like every other light in the city. Set them to come on at dusk and the hillside lights itself.

Collision, draw distance and clean streaming

Letters and support frames get box collision, so players can climb the sign instead of walking through it. Draw distance is yours to set up to twelve kilometres, and the package ships the manifest that tells the game which archetypes the map needs — the step most custom signs forget, which is why they appear for the builder and nobody else.

Protected, traceable builds

Every package is individually identified. Model, texture and clip names are generated from a key that never leaves our server, the entity order is shuffled, and an invisible fingerprint is woven into the colour textures. A signed seal lists the hash of every shipped file, so a modified or repacked copy is provable at a glance.

Built for your kind of server

Guides: custom Vinewood signs, start to finish

Four long reads covering the install, the difference between a baked map animation and a client script, how to prepare a logo so it cuts cleanly, and what a sign actually costs in frame time.

Signs other servers are already running

A finished paid sign goes into the public gallery on its own, under the terms its buyer agreed to, and one switch in their dashboard takes it back out again for good. It is the quickest way to see what the banner creator does in somebody else's hands — and what your own name is going to look like up there. A picture and a caption only; the files stay with their owner.
