Your server logo is the first thing a potential player sees — before they read your description, check your player count, or visit your Discord. A professional logo signals that your community is worth joining. An amateur one signals the opposite, no matter how good your content actually is.
This guide covers everything from brand identity to platform-specific export specs, with free tools anyone can use starting today.
Most server owners focus on scripts, scripts, and more scripts. Branding gets pushed to "later" — but for players browsing the FiveM server list, a Minecraft server browser, or a Discord discovery page, later never comes. They already clicked on something else.

The biggest mistake new server owners make is opening Canva before knowing what they're designing. Spend 15 minutes answering these questions first.
Upload at 512×512px minimum (1024×1024px recommended). Discord displays it as a circle cropped to 32×32px in sidebars and 64×64px in server lists. Design with that circular crop in mind — avoid critical detail in the corners.
Yes. Canva's free tier covers most logo needs with hundreds of gaming templates. Photopea is a free Photoshop alternative that runs in the browser. GIMP and Inkscape are free, open-source desktop tools used by professional designers.
Use a combination mark (icon + server name together). It works at large banner sizes and small Discord icons. Once your community grows and people recognize the icon alone, you can use it standalone — just like major gaming brands do.
PNG with transparent background for Discord and web use. SVG for any-size scaling without quality loss. ICO or 64×64px PNG for Minecraft server icons. Keep the original editable source file (PSD, XCF, or GIMP file) for future changes.
