FM24 Install Logo Pack: Why Your Game Looks Wrong (and How to Fix It)

Let's be real for a second. Playing Football Manager 2024 with those generic, greyed-out shields instead of actual club crests feels... wrong. It's like buying a premium steak and eating it with a plastic fork. You’ve spent forty quid on a spreadsheet simulator, so you might as well make it look the part.

Honestly, the licensing issues in FM are a nightmare, but the community is basically a group of unsung heroes. They spend thousands of hours cropping tiny images just so you can see the real Manchester United badge instead of "Man Utd" inside a circle.

If you’re staring at a blank screen wondering why your FM24 install logo pack isn’t showing up, don't sweat it. I’ve done this a hundred times. It’s mostly just dragging files into the right folders and clicking a few buttons in the settings. But if you miss one tiny step, the game just ignores you.

The "Where Does This Go?" Problem

The biggest hurdle is actually finding where the game hides its data. It isn't in your Steam folder. If you’re digging through C:\Program Files, stop. You’re in the wrong place.

For 99% of people on Windows, you need to head to your Documents folder. Specifically:
\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2024\

If you're on a Mac, things get a bit weirder because Apple likes to hide the Library folder. Open Finder, hit Shift+Command+G, and paste this:
~/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2024/

Once you’re in there, look for a folder called graphics.

Doesn't exist? Create it. Right-click, New Folder, name it graphics—all lowercase, no fancy characters. Inside that folder, I usually make another one called logos just to keep things tidy.

Picking Your Poison: TCM, Metallic, or Sortitoutsi?

Before you can actually do the FM24 install logo pack thing, you need the files. There are three big players in the scene, and they all have a different "vibe."

• TCM Logos: These are the gold standard. They look clean, they’re updated constantly, and the pack includes basically every competition logo you could ever need.
• Metallic Logos: If you like things a bit shiny and 3D-looking, go for the Metallic pack on Sortitoutsi. It’s huge. Like, several gigabytes huge.
• Standard/Flat: Some people prefer the "official" look without any shadows or effects.

One thing people always mess up: the download format. These packs usually come as a .zip or .7z file. You cannot just drop that zip file into the folder. You have to extract it. Use 7-Zip or WinRAR. If you just copy-paste the archive, the game will act like nothing happened.

The Secret In-Game Ritual

So, you’ve downloaded the pack. You’ve extracted it. You’ve placed the logos folder inside the graphics folder. You open FM24, and... nothing. It’s still those boring grey shields.

This is where the "Reload Skin" dance comes in. The game doesn't just scan for new files every time it boots up; it uses a cache to make loading faster. You have to tell it to look again.

1. Load up Football Manager 2024.
2. Hit the FM button (or go to Preferences).
3. In the search bar at the top, just type "Skin".
4. Look for the box that says "Use caching to decrease page loading times" and UNTICK it.
5. Find the box that says "Reload skin when confirming changes in Preferences" and TICK it.
6. Hit Confirm.

The screen will go black for a few seconds. Maybe a minute if you’ve got an old hard drive or a massive pack. Don’t panic. This is the game "indexing" all those thousands of tiny PNG files you just gave it. Once it’s done, your club badges should be glowing in their full, licensed glory.

What if it still doesn't work?

Seriously, if it hasn’t changed, 90% of the time it’s because of a subfolder issue.

Check your folder path again. It should look like this:
Documents > Sports Interactive > FM24 > graphics > logos > [a bunch of folders with IDs]

If you have a folder inside a folder inside a folder (like logos > TCM24 > TCM24 > graphics), the game might get confused. Try to keep the actual image folders as close to the "graphics" root as possible. Also, double-check that you don't have a "real name fix" mod conflicting with things, though that usually only affects text, not images.

The Game Pass and Epic Games Headache

If you're playing on Game Pass, the folder might be slightly different. Sometimes it’s under a "Gamepass" subfolder within the Sports Interactive directory.

Also, for the Epic Games Store version, the path is identical to Steam, but I've seen cases where the game creates the folder in the Public documents instead of your user documents. If you’re lost, search your PC for "Sports Interactive" and see which one has your "games" (save files) folder in it. Wherever your saves are, that's where your graphics need to be.

Final Actionable Steps

Now that you know the theory, here is exactly what you should do to get your FM24 install logo pack running:

1. Download a pack: Head to TCMLogos.com or Sortitoutsi.net and grab a megapack.
2. Locate your directory: Open your file explorer to Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2024.
3. Setup the structure: Create a folder named graphics if it’s missing.
4. Extract the files: Use WinRAR or 7-Zip to put the logo folders directly into that graphics folder.
5. Force the refresh: Go to FM24 Preferences, turn off "Use caching," turn on "Reload skin," and hit Confirm.
6. Re-enable cache: Once the logos show up, go back and turn "Use caching" back on so your game doesn't run like a turtle.
