FM25 Megapacks Release

[Derek]

This update is essential for those who regularly use FM Graphics or plan to start with FM25.

Keep an eye out for the new megapacks and remember to follow the guidelines below to ensure a smooth experience.

 

FM25 Megapacks Release
Timeline -  The final update for FM24 megapacks will be released by the end of this month, followed by the new FM25 megapacks 1-3 days later.
Advice - If your current megapack is up to date, simply download the final update for FM24 instead of the entire new FM25 megapack. The current megapack is compatible with FM25 due to the continuation of monthly updates.
First-Time Downloaders - If you haven’t downloaded a megapack before or in a while, it’s recommended to wait for the FM25 megapacks instead of downloading the FM24 pack and 12 updates.

FMG Logo Megapack News
Discontinued Packs - FMG Button, D11, and Stone Logos will not return for FM25.
New Style - A new logo style will be introduced with the FM25 megapacks and is already complete.
FM Mobile Megapacks -  These will return as standalone packs after being incorporated into regular packs last year.

Message to Members
High Demand - Expect heavy traffic on the site around the FM25 Beta release, with an estimated 5,000-10,000 new members per week.
Download Sources - Links to Mega and Mediafire will be provided for downloads, with no direct downloads from the FMG servers this year.
Site Support - The site is free and relies on volunteers, but operating costs are high, especially for downloads and bandwidth.
Registration Requirement - Registering is necessary to limit downloads per person and avoid overwhelming the site.
Download Managers - Avoid using download managers to prevent automatic temporary bans due to repeated download attempts. This is important!

Final Notes
Patience! The FMG team asks for patience from members during this busy period. Once again, there are no charges or subscription fees for this site so please keep this in mind.

From looking at your account you have only downloaded update 11 rather than the megapack.

To download that pack click the link below.

Anyone having issues downloading the FM24 Standard Logos Megapack should use the link below.

Some websites which link to our site/packs are using outdated or broken urls which are effecting downloads and logging members out of their accounts here. I have sent links to many of these sites but they remain unchanged on their end.

The FM Graphics Logo Megapacks are now released for Football Manager 2025 or Football Manager 25 as Sports Interactive now call it.

You will notice there are two different types of megapacks for each style which now separate desktop and mobile logos from another.

 

Desktop Packs - PC/Mac

The 180x180 have been removed from the regular desktop packs which do not require this size and will not be included in updates going forward.

The desktop packs only require the 512x512, 50x36 and 25x18 sizes.

 

FM Mobile Pack

These packs include 180x180 and 25x18 sizes only and do not require the larger sizes at present.

 

If you have an existing logo megapack and do not wish to download another please follow the steps below.

Alternatively you may simply download a new megapack.

 

Installation Guide - Existing FMG Logo Megapacks

The 180x180 size logos will no longer be made for future FMG Logos desktop packs. Although this size is used in other logo styles, our 512x512 sized logos are perfect for large screens and in-game zoom.

We recommend removing the 180x180 logos from existing packs to make future updates smoother. To do so correctly follow the instructions below.

1) Create a new folder anywhere on your device.

2) Move the @2x folder from Clubs-> Normal into the newly created folder.

3) Then move the 'config' file from Clubs-> Normal-> Normal into the @2x folder (512x512 logos)

3) Delete the Normal folder containing the 180x180.

4) Place the @2x folder back into the Clubs-> Normal folder and rename it Normal.

5) Repeat these steps for Clubs, Competitions, Confederations and Nations.

 

Apologies for all the 'Normal' folders . 

If you follow these 5 steps your pack will work perfectly fine.

Full Installation Guide, FAQ's and Helpful Tips

 

 

Pack Contents

Each pack consists of official logos which we referred to as 'Normal' logos. We offer 'Alternative' logos in each of our packs which are logos that clubs may wear as shirt logos, perhaps in different colours, anniversary editions but are all based on official logos used by that organisation.

We've also added 'Fantasy" logos to the packs which are great for future saves and 'Create-A-Club' games. In fact, all the logos created in our Design Factory are included in the megapacks. We have also got an option for the 'Retro' fans with a great selection of historic logos from many teams and competitions.

 

Each pack also contains our very own default minimal style for those logos we haven't yet covered. However, if you wish to stick with the original default logos from the FM series simply delete our version in the megapack and unzip 'Original Default Logos' file.

 

Installation Guide - New FMG Logo Megapacks

1) Download the pack of your choice.

2) Unzip the files using an archiver.

We recommend Winrar for Windows and Keka for Mac but most applications will work.

5) Then untick 'Use caching to decrease page loading times'.

6) Next tick 'Reload skin when confirming changes to preferences'.

7) Finally, select 'Reload Skin' and after a brief pause your graphics will be visible.

3) Copy the files from your computer to your mobile device.

4) Once the files are transferred place your pack into the folder below.

 

Sigames/Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2025 Mobile/pictures/

 

5) Open the game and your logos should display.

If they don't, go to Sigames/Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2025 Mobile/cache folder on your device and delete any files that are present.

Then restart your game.

 

Installation Guide - FMG Monthly Logo Updates

Drag and drop the contents (including the config files) of each folder in this update pack into the corresponding folder in the megapack and replace the existing logos when prompted. Do not drag and drop the actual folders as this will overwrite your megapack.

This MUST be done for all three sizes (512x512px, 50x36px and 25x18px) or you will have issues displaying the logos in-game.

Then simply go to preferences in FM and reload your skin.

Alternative | Fantasy | Retro Logos

To use any of the alternative, fantasy or retro logos in game you must remove the text at the end of each logo i.e. alt, retro or fantasy and drag and drop into the normal logo folder in the megapack.

You will need to repeat this for all four sizes. Then simply go to preferences in FM and reload your skin.

I would advise creating a copy of the original logos before replacing them.

 

Helpful Tips & FAQ's

 

Why are the packs so large in size?

Each pack contains nearly 87,000 logos in three different sizes which means their are nearly 261,000 files included in each megapack.

Each image is compressed using lossy compression at 60% minification which reduces the file size without compromising the quality.

 

Why are the 180x180 pixel logos no longer in the logo megapacks?

The 180x180 logos were contained in the previous megapacks to cater for FM Mobile users. The development of the FM25 game and expected growth in mobile users has led us to develop a standalone set of FM Mobile megapacks.

Removing these logos will not effect your game in anyway once you have followed the instructions above or downloaded a new FM25 Megapack.

 

Why are there less overall logos in the FM25 Megapacks?

The main reason for this as outlined above is the removal of the 180x180 sized logos but also improved compression and a cleanup of the packs by our team.

However, the overall individual logo total has increased by 3,500 to 87,500 compared to the  FM24 packs which had 84,000 logos.

This will result in improved performance in-game and less storage requirements.

 

Why is my download taking so long?

Despite improved file sizes of each pack, the overall pack size remains considerable due to the amount of logos. It is also worth mentioning if you are downloading the packs around beta or full  game release this can have an impact as it's our busiest time of the year by far.

We offer Mediafire and Mega file links for all packs but Mediafire is not unlimited. We have tested every file once uploaded which includes downloading, unzipping and installing.

 

Why does my download fail repeatedly?

If your file download is repeatedly stopping at a certain point you should change your browser and start again. This only happens to a small percentage of people but the good news is 99% of the time the issue is resolved by following this advice.

Please try this and keep it in mind before leaving a poor review or rating! Again, we have tested every file once uploaded which includes downloading, unzipping and installing.

 

Can the megapacks be used on FM Mobile and FM Console?

Please use the dedicated FM Mobile packs for this content.

 

Can I remove the Alternative, Fantasy & Retro logos?

Yes. If you have no interest in these items please feel free to delete them.

 

I've installed an update but some logos are not displaying now, what can I do?

100% of the time we have had this issue is because the files for all three sizes have not been copied across to the megapack. Please make sure you follow the installation guide above by copying files over to the corresponding folders in the megapack.

This importantly includes the @2x folders. Please ensure only the contents of the folders are moved across and not the actual folders to avoid overwriting the megapack.

 

Can I replace the new FMG Minimal Default logos in the pack?

Yes. If you wish to use the original default logos from the FM series simply delete our version in the megapack and unzip 'Original Default Logos' file.Our feelings won't be hurt.
