The 26-year evolution of the GTA logo – from the original Grand Theft Auto to GTA 6

Grand Theft Advent.

For a moment there, we didn't know for certain that GTA 6 existed. We knew that Rockstar was definitely on the cusp of premiering the next entry of its esteemed Grand Theft Auto series, but whether or not it'd be explicitly named number six was unconfirmed. That is, until the end of the much-anticipated, and since much-dissected, GTA 6 trailer – whose impressive glimpses of Vice City and protagonist Lucia in action concluded with a title card that boasted the series' now signature lowercase 'grand theft auto' logo sitting in front of an imposing 'VI' (or 6 in Roman numerals), colored orange and pink with palm tree silhouettes drawn inside its lines. 

The trailer then confirmed that GTA 6 won't be with us until 2025, giving us plenty of time to cast our minds back over the series to date, not least the evolution of its logo. From the very first DMA Design-developed Grand Theft Auto in 1997, right through to our return to Vice in the year after next, read on for the many faces of Rockstar's enduring open-world crime sim.
