I’m planning to create two new folders for national team logos, covering both men's and women's football: Federations & Associations (Default) - Logos of current member nations' football federations and associations. National Team Kit Logos - Current logos displayed on men's and women's national team kits. However, I’ll need to wait until the Football Manager 2027 Editor is available so I can properly review and verify all nations, including current members, former members and defunct nations. There’s quite a lot to check, so I’ll need some time to go through everything carefully and make sure the logos are accurate and up to date. I'll send you a .zip file via DM. My aim is to complete the review and organise everything before the end of this month. Of course, I also have another important appointment with Grand Theft Auto VI! So if the update takes a little longer, you know where I might be spending my free time!

Shoot, a bit too late unfortunately, as I've already uploaded them all today! 😂 I completely understand your point, though, and I don't mind rejecting them all for now if that's the best option until everyone has had a chance to share their thoughts and agree on which logos they'd prefer. My personal preference would always be to use the official team logo from the club's website, ideally the same logo that appears on their playing kit. I think it gives each nation/team its own identity and makes the collection look more authentic and consistent. However, I appreciate that everyone has their own preference, so I'm happy to go with whatever the majority decides.

I'd like to get everyone's thoughts on national team logos and whether we should have some general rules to keep the logo pack consistent. First of all, when it comes to national teams, would you prefer to use official national football team logos or the official logos of their Football Associations/Federations? Personally, I'd prefer to use official national team logos wherever possible, rather than general FA or Federation logos. Another thing I'm unsure about is stars. Should we use logos with stars (for example, to represent World Cup wins), or should we use versions without stars? Maybe it's best to follow whichever version the national team officially uses. I was also thinking that it might be worth having a few basic guidelines for all logos in the pack. I'll also be reviewing all the men's and women's national team logos to make sure they're up to date and follow the same guidelines as much as possible. Some ideas: Nations: Use official national team logos wherever available. If there isn't one, use the official FA/Federation logo. Stars: Follow the official logo, whether it includes stars or not. Effects: Avoid unnecessary effects such as shadows, gradients and 3D effects. Strokes and outlines: Should we allow extra strokes or outlines, or keep logos as close to their original designs as possible? Competitions: Use official competition logos. Confederations: Use official logos for UEFA, CONMEBOL, AFC, CAF, CONCACAF and OFC. The main aim would be to keep everything looking clean and consistent while staying as close as possible to the official designs.

shadow replied to Derek's topic in Researchers’ Club (Logos - Men)'s FMG Graphics Database Discussion SectionI’ve got a suggestion that could potentially save quite a lot of storage space on the website and make the graphics megapacks smaller to download. I know you already use pngquant with up to 256 colours to optimise PNG images, but have you considered trying 128 colours instead? It could be worth testing to see how much more space could be saved without any noticeable drop in quality. With hundreds of thousands of images across the Cut-Out Faces Megapack, Standard Logos Megapack and FC’12 Kitpacks, even a small reduction in file size could add up to several GB saved overall. Also, it’s worth remembering that Football Manager doesn't display these images at their full resolution in-game. Most images are scaled down to fit the interface, so any small loss of detail from reducing the colour palette might not even be noticeable when playing. Obviously, faces, logos and kits are all different, so 128 colours might work better for some than others. It would probably be worth testing a sample from each pack first and comparing the quality and file sizes before making any changes. I'm not saying every image needs to be reduced to 128 colours, but it could be a good way to cut down the overall size of the packs and save some storage space if the results are good. Just thought I’d share the idea. Keep up the great work with the logos packs!

Just wondering if there’ll be an updated version of the FM27 Logos Pack available for the Football Manager 27 Launch Preview, even if it’s a bit later on? No rush at all, though! I completely understand if it takes a bit longer. 👍

Thanks, just one thing I’m unsure about: the 512px minimum. Does that mean the longest side must be at least 512px? (e.g. 512x400 or 250x512 would be fine) I’m looking forward to doing a bulk upload, so no rush on your reply. I’d just like to get it right before I start.

Hi @Derek and team, thanks for building the new Graphics Database. Two suggestions to speed up submitting: 1. Bulk upload (multi-file select, folder or zip)Each logo currently has to be submitted one entity at a time, which is slow when updating many clubs. It would help to select multiple files at once and have the system match each one to its entity by filename. Auto-matching: parse the ID and suffix from the filename, following the existing naming rules: ID only = official ID alt = alternative ID retro = historical ID fantasy = concept Preview before submitting: a confirmation table showing filename → matched club name → type → status (Game Ready / Unprepared). Validation up front: flag unknown IDs, bad names (underscores or _club), and images under 512px or over 2000px. Batch status: set Game Ready or Unprepared once for the whole batch, with a per-file override. Batch note: an optional note that applies to every file. 2. My Submissions / upload historyA page listing everything I've submitted, with: Thumbnail, ID, club name and type (official / alt / retro / fantasy) Date submitted Status: Pending / Approved / Rejected / Game Ready Staff rejection reason Filters for status, date and competition, plus search by ID or name A notification when a submission is approved or rejected This would let us confirm what's been approved without checking each club page, and resubmit rejected items quickly. Thanks again for all the work on this!

@Derek I noticed an incorrect club ID being used for the graphics/logo of Guspini Terralba in Football Manager. The current/wrong ID is: 4326 However, ID 4326 does not exist in the database. The correct ID may be: 43269822 – Guspini Terralba Would the next new update be the final 2026.11 version, or will it be a new version for the next release 2027.00
