Yes I will need to reject them for the moment sorry. If you keep them all in a folder we can bulk upload 200 at a time.

I’m planning to create two new folders for national team logos, covering both men's and women's football:

1. Federations & Associations (Default) - Logos of current member nations' football federations and associations.

2. 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!

@Derek A quick question, my friend.

A few weeks ago, I submitted an entry for the "Copa de la Liga de Chile" competition (2000525203) to the new DB system, but it didn't appear in the latest update a few days ago.

I’m not sure what the reason might be. Did I submit it in the right place, or should I continue posting here instead?

There are two faults. Firstly, the submission should have been rejected rather than accepted. This would have highlighted the issue to you and made it possible to resubmit.

The reason it should have been rejected is the file name of the image you uploaded was the name of the competition, rather than the ID number. All logo images uploaded need to be named correctly or the system will reject them. If you resubmit the logo it will be included in next months update.

REMINDER 👇

IMPORTANT

File naming is extremely important here. Please take the time to review the below setup and do not deviate from it.

Official logos - should have ID number only i.e. 676.png

Alternative logos - should have ID number and alt directly after it i.e. 676alt.png, 676alt1.png, 676alt2.png etc.

Historical Logos - should have ID number and retro directly after it i.e. 676retro.png, 676retro1.png, 676retro2.png etc.

Concept Logos - should have ID number and fantasy directly after it i.e. 676fantasy.png, 676fantasy1.png, 676fantasy2.png etc

🛑 ⚠️ DO NOT INCLUDE UNDERSCORES OR UNDERSCORE CLUB - 676_club ⚠️ 🛑

Once you have submitted your logo/s changes will be applied in the form of an update pack as usual. If you submit a logo with a background and its approved, you will see that background until I finish the updates and submit the game ready version.

That's completely fine mate thanks. Just to note that the logos used in the national team kits can be named with ID number plus alt i.e. 12345alt, 12345alt1 etc. Please check your pack to see the current alternative logo names as that's where the national team kit logos will end up. We won't be separating or making extra folders for the packs going forward.

Hay dos fallos. En primer lugar, la solicitud debería haber sido rechazada en lugar de aceptada. Esto le habría permitido detectar el problema y volver a enviarla.

El motivo del rechazo es que el nombre del archivo de la imagen que subiste era el nombre del concurso, en lugar del número de identificación. Todas las imágenes de logotipos deben tener el nombre correcto; de lo contrario, el sistema las rechazará. Si vuelves a enviar el logotipo, se incluirá en la actualización del próximo mes.

Okay, I understand. However, the logo I sent was in source format—not ready for use. Would that cause any issues?

Order Custom Signs

No that won’t impact anything. Just mark as game ready or unprepared with any logo. The important part is naming it correctly.

@Derek
Currently, B teams and second teams do not seem to be displayed in the graphics database. How should I submit logos in this case? When submitting logos for new Japanese clubs, I would like to include the ones for their B teams that are no longer displayed, but I am asking because I am concerned that submitting them without any explanation might result in a rejection.

Also, regarding Japanese club names, the ones currently displayed belong to clubs that have been assigned fake names. By properly applying the fake name fix, the names officially registered in the database will be displayed.

There are two ways you can add logos for the B teams or any teams that share the same logos.

1. The first is by manually uploading a logo to the B team as you would with any team.

2. The second is by simply going to 'Suggest Changes' on the team page. Scroll to the bottom and under 'Related Entities' you can add the main teams ID number. Then make sure to select Share Graphics.

It's important to note that the ID number provided should always be that of the main team. Also, once the changes are approved it can take up to an hour for them to display as the task of scanning the graphics is set to once per hour.

On the fake names, they will need to be changed manually.

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?

I strongly favour the national team logos wherever they exist.

I think it makes the most sense and, considering the principle of least surprise, I think it's what most people would expect for prominent nations, e.g. England and the Netherlands. It'd be a little odd to see the FA logo instead of the England national team logo, or the KNVB logo instead of that of the Dutch national team.

I think the best solution is for the national team logo to be the main logo and then the alternatives folder can contain any other variants and the FA logo.

Also it would be ideal to then choose the FA logo when using a 'Nation' logo for any competitions that don't have an official logo.

Please also note that ideally we would use 'standard' logos without effects for all logos in general. Even if gradients, shadows etc are used on the official logos it's best for our packs not to apply that as it differs from what the pack is supposed to look like. Those logos can be added to the alternatives folder for member use.

Database Information

Competition Hierarchy

When selecting 'Suggest Changes' on the competition page, you can then add a competition level with 1 being the top level, 2 the second and so on.

This makes browsing between the competitions in the same nation a lot easier and also gives the opportunity to order them correctly on the nations screen.

International Competitions

When you choose 'Select Changes' on a competition page and choose a confederation for a competition it will automatically appear as an International competition. Please don't select this unless it actually is a competition run directly by the confederation such as the examples below of the Champions League, Europa League, Conference League and Super Cup for UEFA.
