Survivor Logo

Survivor Logo PNG

The Survivor logo is brimming with adventures and wild nature. In separate elements of the emblem, the viewer can see the main features of the season and the areas where participants live. The sign points to the lives of the heroes in a limited space.

Meaning and History

Two seasons of the show are filmed each year, and a new location is chosen for each one. By the 15-episode stretch, a separate logo is created, which fully reflects the spirit of the locale, the themes of the competitions, and the tasks. However, all emblems share a common shape, the name in the center, and inscriptions, which form a memorable motif of the sign and ensure its recognition. The oval is a direct embodiment of the islands where the games take place, and the bold outline is an element indicating separation from the rest of the world and concealment from the eyes of others. The participants are placed in an environment where they are confined for the duration of the show.

The logo of the game’s tenth season is oval with a large rim in a khaki camouflage color. On both sides, there are images of sharks that threaten the players on the island. One of them was successfully caught by the participants. The rim contains slogans related to the game: outwit, outplay, and outlast. They demonstrate the primary goal of the players – to outmaneuver opponents.

In the center, on a yellow oval backdrop, the name of the show is written in angular white letters. It conveys the meaning of the game: to stay alive. The white color of the letters speak to novelty, constant updating of locations, fair judging, and playing in the fresh, clean air. The green outline hints at the nature in which the participants live.

The inscription below indicates the location of the game: the Republic of Palau. In the background are the islands of Koror and Ulong, where the main actions took place. In the water, rocky reef islands that distinguish the location are visible. The sun is particularly emphasized in the picture, as on the islands, there are more than 20 sunny days per month all year round, with an average daily temperature of 28 degrees Celsius.

season 11 2005

The eleventh season took place in Guatemala, which is reflected in the logo. The oval border is black, and instead of sharks, there’s an ancient depiction of green snakes, as the country has 134 species of them. The backdrop of the title is also black. It speaks to life in the jungles, night challenges, and volcanic soils. There are 33 volcanoes in Guatemala and a lot of solidified lava. The outline of the white letters of Survivor is orange, hinting at the hot tropical climate.

Below the name of the show is the name of the area where the competitions took place. The territory chosen for the game was Nakúm-Naranjo National Park. The park has surviving Mayan structures, which is also mentioned on the emblem. The buildings are depicted in the background of the sign. The snakes drawn in the logo were highly valued in the tribe’s culture.

The oval also contains the image of a mask, a prototype of the immunity idol used for voting in this season.

season 42 2022

Modern franchise logos have changed slightly. They no longer have the name of the country, as Fiji has been the main location for several seasons in a row. Instead of the location, the focus has shifted to the season number. It is indicated in large numbers at the top of the oval backdrop. The first in 2022 was episode 42.

The logo has a blue border. The shooting took place in the island nation. Therefore, the tribe’s location was surrounded by water, which is symbolized by the color blue.

In the center of the background is a labyrinth. The show’s name is written on a piece of old board, which is attached to the emblem with a lock. On the other side of the board is a key. Almost all challenges involved wooden vessels, boats, chests, and sleds. So, the wood plays an important role in the season. In each game, participants solved puzzles, and whoever assembled it first got immunity. The labyrinth suggests this.

At the two ends of the emblem, you can see tongues of flame, reflecting the two tribes, their councils, and voting, which take place by torchlight.

season 43 2022

The 43rd season has a bright and vibrant logo in lettuce green colors. In the background are silhouettes of native men and women, into whom the participants transformed. The man holds a torch with which players go to vote. The woman holds a staff with a torch.

The lettuce-green wavy lines on the rim of the emblem resemble seaweed and hint at the beautiful chains formed by the islands. A large octopus occupies a large part of the emblem’s area, as there are many of them off the coast of Fiji.

The yellow color of the letters hints at the hourglass, which a player could smash to cancel the immunity of the winning team. The light shades also speak to the show’s duration being reduced from 39 to 26 days.

season 44 2023

The logo for the 44th season, shot in 2022, is related to caves and stones. The stone arch is the place where the council is held. On the emblem are silhouettes of players with torches, symbolizing the elimination vote. On the sides of the central blue inscription with the show’s name, there are also two torches. The abundance of fire hints at the inner fire of the players that must be shown in the season and indicates a large number of dangerous challenges.

The word Survivor is placed on a blue background and has a white outline. Part of the top rim of the oval is covered with palms and a stone structure. The emblem transports the viewer to the green Mamanuca Islands, where the season takes place.

Font and Colors

The logos predominantly feature natural colors: various shades of green, yellow, and blue. Red is used for accents, symbolizing competitions and battles, black embodies the strength and dominance of the winner, and white is the color of beginnings and a refresh of the show format.

• Green – represents leaves, grass, energy, and the power of nature. Most of the participants’ food is plants.
• Yellow – sand, as most of the competitions are on tropical islands and participants live on the beaches. Yellow is also the sun, its warmth.
• Bluewater, necessary for drinking, cooking, and bathing.

Together, the colors mean life because, without food, warmth, and water, survival is impossible. The font of the title was specially designed for the show. The angularity of the letters speaks of difficulties and trials, surprises, and camping conditions.
