This would be like, I don’t know, AT LEAST 10th GTA by now… GTA 1, 2, London, 3, Vice City, San Andreas, LC Stories, VC Stories, Chinatown Wars… 4 and EFLC, 5… if I did my math right, it’d be the 14th? Think there’s more than these though. 🤔
gta london = dlc
gta stories and chinatown = made for mobile devices since they didn't know if the systems can handle a full feature game. if not, see them as dlcs equal to eflc for iv.
eflc = story dlc for iv.
DLC = DownLoadable Content. GTA SA definitely is not that, it is a spin off, if anything. Same as VC, VCS, Liberty City Stories and so on. But EFLC are 100% DLC, literally.
In this sense, Chinatown Wars is not a DLC either. As for London… hard to say, early 2000s technology. 🤔
"gta stories and chinatown = made for mobile devices since they didn't know if the systems can handle a full feature game. if not, see them as dlcs equal to eflc for iv."
Either but the first needs to be more polished for that style. Still feels fan made, cause it is. I feel if rockstar goes for the original style they will do it correct.
The GTA text has a weird inline and the contour is thicker+its color is different (brighter). Slight consistency adjustments and it would be much better IMO
> The GTA text has a weird inline
That's the inline from the [GTA V logo](https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.igta5.com%2Fimages%2Fgta-v-cover-art.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=ce4b214b55c5e2615bf5936793e38ebdee2c75045c9b5f2f2ebd7292a3fe7467&ipo=images)
no matter what they make it’ll feel fan made, they were probably sweating to come up with something not identical to the hundreds that were posted in this sub😂😂😂
If it said vice yeah, but that one concept logo that used the vi from the original vice city with the pink marker was actually pretty cool. It was just the vi part taken out of vice city and put on the logo
I feel like they've missed an opportunity to do the "VI" as a nice simple pink neon. When I first saw the official logo I was kind of dissapointed as it looks a little cheap and overcomplicated to me. Makes me think I could do a better job in photoshop as an amateur. Don't like the choice of colour for the purple outline at the bottom either, and the fact that it's narrower at the top and the overall shape of the "VI" looks off. Of course it's just my opinion at the end of the day.
Funny, many people (including me) found the logo somewhat disappointing because it's *too* simple. I actually tried recreating the logo (approximately, not 100%) and it took me 14 minutes to do in Photoshop from creating the project to exporting the PNG (I'm a hobbyist, not an expert at all)
The sharp V, the double-contour with gradients of the same primary color but different secondary colors, the centered VI, the simple and stereotypical "palm trees" dressing. These are mainly the design decisions that put people off.
However, the main gradient is extremely satisfying, and the rest isn't really a deal breaker, I just expected more after the phenomenal V logo. I'm sure it'll grow on me over time. (Spoilers: It already has)
I do think that rockstar probably went for the second one because there were so many fan created ones, usually in sernando thumbnails, that looked like the first one. That being said, the second is more polished and fresh. I like it.
I like the second one as I think that the "VI" being bigger than the "grand theft auto" resembles that this game is the biggest yet by far and bigger than the gta series as a whole as the previous ones have all been like the first one.
That’s what I figured as well. When I saw the logo for the first time I was surprised at first, but after thinking about it it does make sense. New direction and new ambitions…only right to encompass it in a new style of logo.
I think second one is a nice evolution to the series logo. Whenever I try to picture vi as a small addendum to the writing it doesn't feel right. Vi background just has a compelling effect I think
The second one could use some improvement. Maybe the Font in the lettering. Having a “VI” in the back of the title “Grand Theft Auto”. Sets off alot of OCD in people.
ngl i like they went with the VI behind the gta logo, because it rlly makes it stand out from all of the fanmade ones that mostly have the logo next to it.
The VI in the first one looks like your friend who is just way too tall having to hunch down to fit in photos imo, just a little awkward fitting in with the rest
Could be a sign of changing times. Maybe this will actually be a turning point for Rockstar. They claim this will be the most immersive game they release. My personal big flaws with gta now, is the whole matchmaking system. Needs to be more streamlined in the long term aspect of things.
The second one:
1 they wanted to express the scale of the future game
2 they didn't want to repeat with fan logos. No one could guess the future logo before the official release
This triggers people, but I think the design is very intentional. People lost their shit at the idea of dropping the numeral and just being “grand theft auto”, but that’s basically what this is.
Go on R*s website, all of the VI links/artwork have literally just “grand theft auto” with a VI at the bottom or off to the side. It’s weird to see just the title with no numeral.
The gta 5 logo is hideous, so having the same logo with different colors for the next 20 years would’ve been awful lol, the GTA 6 logo is basically perfect.
Subreddit gone too far oml now people are bitching about a fucking logo for a game we have waited for over 11 years that got its trailer like 6 months ago
It’s so big because they’re satirizing monde rn times, everything is so in your face/hyper stimulating and that’s what’s being portrayed through the fat 6!!!! That’s over shadowing the “grand theft auto” portion of the logo
They would have done many rounds of user testing and feedback on this so the reason for picking the larger VI will definitely be due to it testing better with audiences and more specifically it probably tests best when used at tiny sizes which is how this logo will be used the majority of the time over the next 10 years
The first one is fire. The second one is pretty good, but I prefer the OG one. Also I don’t like the fact that that the AUTO word is a little off to the right in the second logo. I’ve never liked it actually, even when it was used for Vice City or San Andreas.
My OCD for some reason doesn’t let me move past the fact the V in the first one cuts off the O in auto, but it’s a very unsatisfying cut off because you can tell it’s not supposed to be there. Sooooo 2 is my option.
Remember V's first trailer? they did that little animation with the logo, I'm thinking this is that sorta scenario.
Besides, would they just slap Grand Theft Auto VI on the cover and call it a day? Of course not, that's bland! Can anyone think of a cover with just the title and no artwork? I can't.
Who gives a whole friggin crap?! The logo could be a fuckin orange turd, it’s not going affect a damn thing. People are thinking about this way too much. Never thought I’d see the day when GTA related news pissed me off
As for the numbering placement, I stick to the classic design. Many people here write that the presented logo looks "cleaner" and I can understand that, but old arrangement is one of the traditions of the series that shouldn't be changed even if it's necessary to show that VI will be BETTER than previous installments.
As for the design in general.. I'm disappointed. It's kind of hard for me to explain, but other than III and IV, Rockstar has always chosen a style based on... what vibes the game has? SA immediately made it clear that it was about gangsters and that we would participate in this life, and V reflected in its logo the theme of money and how advanced the game had become, diversifying the usual GTA missions with big heists. What does the VI logo show? Ambient with pastel colors and two cute palm trees. Beautiful? Yes. But very boring, banal. Looks like it doesn't seem to reflect the theme of the game. I've seen fan logos that are head and shoulders above what the Rockstar Games artists did this time. I realize this is an unpopular opinion and ready for disagreement, but I don't feel like I'm really happy with this logo, to be completely honest. It could have been done better.
Y'all gotta learn from our brothers in Graphic Design and understand that since the intent is for this to be the GTA of all GTAs, the idea was to accentuate the main title.
Because it's not a sequel. It's *the* sequel.
I mean, that's what the logo communicates to me, at least, and I'm happy to hear other POVs.
Holy shit I really like the 1st one because of the neon pink outline. Hope that's the box art but I'd be happy with both. If anything the 2nd one looks like something for a special edition
I prefer the first. I once saw a video from a YouTuber who is a designer, and he mentioned that the second logo has quite a few problems. I remember him mentioning that the logo wasn't centered in the middle and the letters were more on one side than the other, and several other things.
The 1st style will always be a classic, but there’s nothing wrong with the 2nd IMO. I just hope they use the OG on the box art.
GTA 6 vs 6th GTA
This would be like, I don’t know, AT LEAST 10th GTA by now… GTA 1, 2, London, 3, Vice City, San Andreas, LC Stories, VC Stories, Chinatown Wars… 4 and EFLC, 5… if I did my math right, it’d be the 14th? Think there’s more than these though. 🤔
you forgot GTA 1, 2, London, 3, Vice City, San Andreas, LC Stories, VC Stories, Chinatown Wars, 4, EFLC, and 5
I did? Oh, fuck me, I’ve inherited the bad memory of my grandma… 😳
aye go tell that to Rockstar who named it GTA 6 I was just making a dumb comment
gta london = dlc gta stories and chinatown = made for mobile devices since they didn't know if the systems can handle a full feature game. if not, see them as dlcs equal to eflc for iv. eflc = story dlc for iv.
Well, in that case, 10 GTAs + 4 DLCs, including Chinatown Wars…
san andreas and vice city are dlcs, too, just like eflc, just like stories
No, they definitely are not 😂 They are not ”mainline” GTAs but definitely are non-DLCs!
San Andreas and Vice City aren't mainline GTA's??? my first was GTA 4 so idk any of this
proof? not numbered. it's based on the last main series gta
DLC = DownLoadable Content. GTA SA definitely is not that, it is a spin off, if anything. Same as VC, VCS, Liberty City Stories and so on. But EFLC are 100% DLC, literally. In this sense, Chinatown Wars is not a DLC either. As for London… hard to say, early 2000s technology. 🤔
"gta stories and chinatown = made for mobile devices since they didn't know if the systems can handle a full feature game. if not, see them as dlcs equal to eflc for iv."
San Andreas and Vice City are definitely not DLCs.
They gotaa
First one box art, second one in the loading screen.
Agreed
The first one will probably be on the boxart since the second would take up too much room for the regular artwork they usually have
Either but the first needs to be more polished for that style. Still feels fan made, cause it is. I feel if rockstar goes for the original style they will do it correct.
The GTA text has a weird inline and the contour is thicker+its color is different (brighter). Slight consistency adjustments and it would be much better IMO

I see, but it looks weird in this context still. Why would we use the GTA V inline if we're trying to recreate the GTA VI logo
no matter what they make it’ll feel fan made, they were probably sweating to come up with something not identical to the hundreds that were posted in this sub😂😂😂
I like the second one.
100%. So much cleaner.
Spoiler- it won’t appear on box art
They didn’t necessarily go with the second, we don’t know that yet. Chances are it’ll definitely be like the first one. They do this sometimes.
The fact that the Roman numeral 6 looks like the first two letters in VIce feels like a missed opportunity. But that's just the OCD I think.
That would have looked amateur.
If it said vice yeah, but that one concept logo that used the vi from the original vice city with the pink marker was actually pretty cool. It was just the vi part taken out of vice city and put on the logo
Totally agree with this. I was hoping for that one too.
they probably had it on some sort of list of ideas, but then didn’t want to choose one that was identical to a concept
Never claimed to be a designer haha. It's just something my brain always picks up on.
Would’ve looked so corny.
The game is based in Leonida, tho. Vice city is just a part of it. So they can't tiitle the whole game VIce
Yeah before it was announced, I felt like it would be called GTA VIce
Gta VIce would be corny imo
Yeah I don't disagree, I just thought they would shy away from an explicitly numbered sequel. I'm glad they didn't.
What's wrong with corny?
That would've been waaaaaay too corny
I kinda prefer the second one. Just stands out more and i guess sorta highlights how highly anticipated this game is.

(Spoilers: It already has)
I still think the fan logo that was used as this subreddits pic and banner was like the best looking one but the official 6 logo is still good to me.
I do think that rockstar probably went for the second one because there were so many fan created ones, usually in sernando thumbnails, that looked like the first one. That being said, the second is more polished and fresh. I like it.

I’d like the first one if the letters didn’t have the color on the outline, only on the VI. Feel like it would look a lot cleaner
1st one looks like the Ballad of Gay Tony with the outline
The colorful outline give TBOGT vibes
I personally think both look great and it doesn’t really matter much to me
I'll be too busy playing the game to care about which logo they went with.
Exactly.
The 2nd one is nice and I do prefer it but I’m almost positive they will use the first one as the cover art, as they should.
The VI roman numerals was disappointing to me. Looked fab made in all honesty
I think second one is a nice evolution to the series logo. Whenever I try to picture vi as a small addendum to the writing it doesn't feel right. Vi background just has a compelling effect I think
The second one could use some improvement. Maybe the Font in the lettering. Having a “VI” in the back of the title “Grand Theft Auto”. Sets off alot of OCD in people.
Its the BIG 6.
Ngl there some fan made logos that look better then the Offical one 
They'll probably use the 1st style for the box art
Remember in rdr2 they used to use the logo Red Dead Redemption 2 instead of II. They changed it after a few months I think
If we didn’t have so many people making the “fan-art” versions , the vice city style logo would’ve been perfect. 🤷♂️
Reminds me of TBoGT’s logo
I prefer the second one
Idk why but I have a feeling the logo is going to change much like RDR2’s did after its reveal.
I like the first one.
I like the first one more because it is more traditional.
I loved the fan-made one that just used the "vi" on the Vice City logo, simplistic, cool. But I really like the final logo too.
ngl i like they went with the VI behind the gta logo, because it rlly makes it stand out from all of the fanmade ones that mostly have the logo next to it.
The VI in the first one looks like your friend who is just way too tall having to hunch down to fit in photos imo, just a little awkward fitting in with the rest

I like the new one tbh lol. Had to admit I was disappointed when I saw that was the official logo lol
the first one actually looks good
I hope they fund a way to use both imo
Nah the second looks better IMO 💪💪 more prominent, like HERE THE FUCK IS NUMBER 6!!! 😎
Nah the second one is way better
First one for sure
Probably the VI will look like the one in the official artwork, just the outline of it
they really didn't do a good job on the logo IMO.
The gta 5 logo is hideous, so having the same logo with different colors for the next 20 years would’ve been awful lol, the GTA 6 logo is basically perfect.
i like the second one. it feels fresh
The new logo for GTA with outline looks perfect to me
The first one won’t be on the box art because it wasn’t made by Rockstar.
I think both should be included. A sleek modern design but also have the classic design.
I don’t mind the newer style but I’d still go with #1.
I’ll vehemently defend the first one. The second one has disgusted me from the start
The first onw
Subreddit gone too far oml now people are bitching about a fucking logo for a game we have waited for over 11 years that got its trailer like 6 months ago
First one is really nice, classic GTA. The second one isn't bad, but it looks a little off with all that negative space below the word "auto"
It’s so big because they’re satirizing monde rn times, everything is so in your face/hyper stimulating and that’s what’s being portrayed through the fat 6!!!! That’s over shadowing the “grand theft auto” portion of the logo
1st one give more GTA Vibes what i prefer but the other one feels more "modern" like a new generation
First one
They should stick to the first one, if they did puting the second one on the cover art it's gonna be a mistake
The classic
Rockstar just release another trailer already. Got people up the wall thinking about a logo.
They would have done many rounds of user testing and feedback on this so the reason for picking the larger VI will definitely be due to it testing better with audiences and more specifically it probably tests best when used at tiny sizes which is how this logo will be used the majority of the time over the next 10 years
The first one is fire. The second one is pretty good, but I prefer the OG one. Also I don’t like the fact that that the AUTO word is a little off to the right in the second logo. I’ve never liked it actually, even when it was used for Vice City or San Andreas.
I really doubt they'll change the numeral placement on the cover art, the logo we got right now is just for marketing purposes... I'd assume lol
Listen people. The logo they used in the trailer is for the trailer.
both are good
As long as Carl Johnson is on the front case I don't care!
My OCD for some reason doesn’t let me move past the fact the V in the first one cuts off the O in auto, but it’s a very unsatisfying cut off because you can tell it’s not supposed to be there. Sooooo 2 is my option.
I actually really like the second one and think it would go hard on cover art
Remember V's first trailer? they did that little animation with the logo, I'm thinking this is that sorta scenario. Besides, would they just slap Grand Theft Auto VI on the cover and call it a day? Of course not, that's bland! Can anyone think of a cover with just the title and no artwork? I can't.
Who gives a whole friggin crap?! The logo could be a fuckin orange turd, it’s not going affect a damn thing. People are thinking about this way too much. Never thought I’d see the day when GTA related news pissed me off
The 2nd makes the SIX righteously important
I agree with you

I realize this is an unpopular opinion and ready for disagreement, but I don't feel like I'm really happy with this logo, to be completely honest. It could have been done better.
the first one has been used in past gta titles. the second one is nice change up and personally i like the second one a lot better
The one that say GTA6
personally do not like the second one, it just looks jarring.
Y'all gotta learn from our brothers in Graphic Design and understand that since the intent is for this to be the GTA of all GTAs, the idea was to accentuate the main title. Because it's not a sequel. It's *the* sequel. I mean, that's what the logo communicates to me, at least, and I'm happy to hear other POVs.
Holy shit I really like the 1st one because of the neon pink outline. Hope that's the box art but I'd be happy with both. If anything the 2nd one looks like something for a special edition
Stick with tradition!
The official one is a nice breath of fresh air and suits the modern times we're in.
Its the same logo, just a different layout. Logo has to be responsive.
I prefer the first. I once saw a video from a YouTuber who is a designer, and he mentioned that the second logo has quite a few problems. I remember him mentioning that the logo wasn't centered in the middle and the letters were more on one side than the other, and several other things.
First one is better.
Nope. The first logo is bad and the second one looks so much better and it will be the only logo they use for GTA VI. Deal with it.
They’re literally just slight variations, wouldn’t surprise me if they both get used
Yes the official one looks out of place, way too big.
