Rocket League Logo PNG
The game’s developers chose a serious Rocket League logo so that everything happening on the screen is perceived as plausible. Everything is maximally ordinary: neither a racing drive nor supernatural effects. Everything is simple and clear: the name is executed in massive black letters. However, there is one original feature. It’s the perfect geometry of glyphs with even edges.

Meaning and History
This computer game combines several themes – high-speed car racing and sports competitions in soccer, basketball, or hockey (the latter two were added recently). In it, two teams of up to eight gamers compete against each other. All have their “rocket” cars, which they use to score goals against the opponent’s team. Thus, teams accumulate points for the allotted match time.
The video game consists of multiplayer and single-player modes with online and local gameplay. There is also the possibility of conducting online competitions between any cross-platform versions. Later versions have features for adjusting the basic rules and adding new modes, including hockey and basketball.
The emblem is uniform and distributed across all personal computers and gaming console platforms. Rocket League is developed for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation, Xbox, macOS, Nintendo, and Linux. Releases emerged gradually over three years, starting from 2015 and ending in 2017. In September 2020, the game became available in a free-to-play modification.
Moreover, the developers focused on visual elements, many of which are in the game. This principle is also reflected in the logo, as Psyonix paid great attention to graphic symbols, simultaneously using several trademarks for games and print.
What is Rocket League?
Rocket League is a unique mix of arcade soccer and racing with rocket cars, a direct sequel to Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars. Modes with other sports have also appeared in the latest versions, including basketball and hockey. The video game’s developer and one of the publishers is Psyonix LLC.
2014 – 2015
The original emblem of the cross-platform video game was a complex geometric figure resembling two rectangles folded together: a large top and a small bottom. The emblem had a chromed frame around its entire perimeter. It was wide and voluminous (in 3D). The main space of the icon was painted blue, serving as a background for the two main elements – the icon and text.
The key image on the logo was, of course, a racing car. It was white, detailed, clearly outlined, with large wheels. It had a high cockpit and wide front and rear wings. The car moved at an increased speed, evidenced by the single color detail – either a headlight or a powerful exhaust from the pipe. The flash was drawn as a “star” element, with rays diverging in all directions. For more emphasis, they were outlined with a red border.
The textual part contained the name of the video game, typed in wide characters. Initially, it was a stylish sans-serif font in uppercase. Due to the configuration of the background drawing, the letters turned out to be a bit uneven in size: they narrowed from the middle to the edge.
2015 – 2020
It combines graphics and text with an emphasis on identity and distinction simultaneously. They correlate with the logo design so that there is a version for every situation without contradicting the main sign. As a result, there are three design variants.
The general scheme is the arrangement of elements: the picture is on the left, and the text is on the right. The first image depicts a racing car with large wheels. It is detailed down to the smallest parts to create the impression that it is a real sports car. Behind it stretches a trail of two stripes, which, by design, convey movement, dynamics, and drive. In front of the car is a ball, abstracted from a specific sport – smooth, monochromatic, with light glints.
In the background is a triangular crest that creates a strong association with the sports theme, as it is present in the emblems of most teams. A silver ball is in the upper left corner, and a thin, white, curved line crosses the lower edge. On the emblem’s right side is the computer game’s name, executed in large, bold letters in a brutal style. In all versions of the emblem, they are black.
2020 – today
After Epic Games acquired Psyonix, the logo changed. The transition to free-to-play also influenced this. In the modern version of the emblem, the Octane shield is no more. All attention is focused on the game’s name, so the redesign led to removing all graphic elements. The phrase “Rocket League” remained unchanged without the slightest adjustments. It is, as before, executed in uppercase letters, painted in black, consisting of large and wide characters.
Font and Colors
The name is written in a geometric sans-serif font, similar to Futura ExtraBold. The only replacement is the letter “G.” All other characters are identical. Designer Paul Renner created this font in 1927. The color palette of the icon is quite diverse and consists of a blue shield with white elements and a gray ball.
