A FiveM server logo (server icon) must be a PNG of exactly 96 × 96 pixels. To add one on FREAKHOSTING, upload the PNG to your server’s main folder in Files, open Server config, type only the file name (for example logo.png) in Server icon file, click Review and save, then Save changes, and restart. The panel writes the load_server_icon line in server.cfg for you.

Before you start

  • Make your logo in any image editor and export it as a PNG at exactly 96 × 96 pixels. A logo of any other size is not used.
  • Give the file a simple name without spaces, such as logo.png.
1

Upload the PNG

Open your server in the Game Panel, click Files and make sure you are in the main folder (/home/container). Click Upload and choose your PNG. See how to use the file manager.

Open Server config

Click Server config under FIVEM and scroll to Server list.

Save and restart

Click Review and save, check the load_server_icon line and click Save changes. Restart the server.
The icon appears in the FiveM server list once the list refreshes your server’s details, which can take a few minutes.

Can I set the logo on the Cfx.re Portal instead?

Yes. Cfx.re marks load_server_icon as deprecated and recommends setting your server’s icon on the Cfx.re Portal. The server.cfg method above still works for many servers. If the list shows a different icon from the one you set, check your server’s details on the Portal too.

Where does the FiveM server logo appear?

The icon shows next to your server’s name in the FiveM server list and on its details page. Players see it before they join, so a clear, simple logo helps your server stand out. To brand what players see while they join, add banners and a custom loading screen.

Frequently asked questions

What size should a FiveM server logo be?

Exactly 96 × 96 pixels, saved as PNG. Design it bigger if you like, then scale it down to 96 × 96 before you upload it.

Why doesn’t my FiveM server logo show?

Check that the PNG is exactly 96 × 96 pixels, that it is in the main folder, that the file name in Server icon file matches exactly (including capitals), and that you restarted the server. Also check the icon set on the Cfx.re Portal.

Where can I get a FiveM logo template?

Any image editor works: start a 96 × 96 pixel canvas and export it as PNG. Keep the design simple, because the icon is shown small in the server list.

Can I use a JPG or GIF?

No. The icon must be a PNG.
