Bored of the GTA logo, Schmetzer designed this new version

Last month saw the release of one of the most anticipated video games in the history of gaming. Taking almost five years to create, Grand Theft Auto V (opens in new tab) was snapped up by fans around the world. While there are many innovations in the new release, one thing that didn't change was its iconic logo design (opens in new tab) (below), which has served the series throughout all five installments to date.

"My creative friends and I had expected an updated logotype to launch with every GTA release," Schmetzer explains. "It never happened. Strange that the rest of the game design and character illustrations advanced so fantastically but the logo did not".
