TruckersMP VTC Logo: Size, Rules, and Upload Guide

A clear TruckersMP VTC logo gives your virtual trucking company instant recognition on the web roster and convoy listings. TruckersMP requires your company logo to follow strict aspect ratios and file guidelines to ensure it renders sharply across both desktop browsers and in-game interfaces.

Setting up the logo correctly prevents pixelated graphics, distorted badges, or moderation warnings. Here is what you need to know about preparing, uploading, and maintaining your VTC logo on the TruckersMP platform.

TruckersMP VTC Logo Specifications

Before you upload your artwork to the TruckersMP VTC system, confirm that your file meets these standard technical requirements:

• Aspect Ratio: 1:1 (Square). Non-square images will either be cropped or stretched, ruining your badge appearance.
• Recommended Resolution: 500x500 pixels up to 1000x1000 pixels. A 500x500 PNG file gives sharp detail while keeping file sizes lightweight.
• Supported Formats: PNG, JPG, or JPEG. Use PNG whenever your logo relies on transparency.
• File Size: Keep the file size under 2 MB. Compressed images load faster on member lists and convoy pages.
• Background: Transparent backgrounds work best. The TruckersMP website uses both dark elements and lighter cards depending on where your company is listed. A transparent PNG prevents ugly white boxes around your emblem.

Rules and Content Guidelines

TruckersMP moderators enforce standard community rules on all user-submitted media, including VTC logos. Submitting a non-compliant logo can result in company suspension or forced removal of your branding.

• No Copyright Violations: Avoid using actual trademarked logistics company logos without modification unless they are explicitly permitted fair use. Using official brand marks of real haulage companies can lead to takedown notices.
• No Inappropriate Imagery: Any logo featuring political propaganda, hate speech, vulgarity, sexually explicit graphics, or drug references will be removed immediately.
• Readability and Decency: Logos designed to impersonate TruckersMP staff, game moderators, or official partners will result in administrative action against the VTC owner.

How to Upload or Update Your VTC Logo

Only the VTC Owner or members with assigned management permissions can alter the company visual settings. Follow these steps to upload your badge:

1. Log into your account on the official TruckersMP website.
2. Navigate to the VTC tab on the top navigation bar and select your company dashboard.
3. Open the Manage VTC section from your admin sidebar.
4. Click on View Settings or Edit Details depending on your current layout.
5. Locate the Logo upload section. Click the file selector and choose your prepared square PNG or JPG file.
6. Save changes at the bottom of the page.

Once saved, the system updates your company page. If the old logo still displays, clear your browser cache using Ctrl+F5 to force the updated asset to load.

Design Best Practices for Convoy Visibility

Your logo will often display at very small sizes, such as small circular or square thumbnails beside driver names. A complex design that looks great at full screen might become an unreadable blur at 32x32 pixels.

Prioritize Bold Silhouettes

Use strong shapes and distinct silhouettes. Simple geometric frames, wings, shields, or bold stylized letters remain recognizable even when shrunk down on a convoy roster.

Limit the Color Palette

Stick to two or three primary colors. High contrast works best. For example, pairing clean white or neon accents against dark blue, slate, or black ensures that drivers can identify your brand on night drives or bright daytime roads.

Avoid Fine Text Inside the Badge

Do not cram your company slogan, driver tag rules, or long company names inside the logo itself. Keep the logo purely graphic or centered around a clean monogram. Leave text information for your VTC description box and player tag.

Match Your In-Game Truck Paint Scheme

Your VTC logo should directly reflect the paint codes you run during organized convoys. If your fleet runs turquoise and graphite metallic paints, incorporate those exact hex values into your badge artwork. Consistency between your web profile and your highway convoy makes your group look professional.
