Installation Instructions
Step 1) Where to put Football Manager Graphics
Once you've downloaded a Football Manager Graphic Pack and extracted it you should be left with a single folder on your computer. You're going to need to move that folder into a special location where Football Manager can find it.
Apple: Where to put the FM Graphic Packs on Mac
You will need to copy the folder to this location:
/Users/<yourname>/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2022/graphics
You may find it difficult to find this exact location, to make it easier, use the following instructions:
a) Open Finder
b) Click “Go” from the menubar and select “Go to Folder” (alternatively press Shift+CMD+G)
c) Copy in the following: ~/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/
d) Open the “Football Manager 2022” folder
e) Open the “graphics” folder (or created it if it doesn't exist)
f) Move the downloaded files into the ”graphics" folder
Windows: Where to put the FM Graphic Packs on Windows
Simply move the folder to the following location:
Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2022/graphics
What if I don't have a graphics folder?
If you don't have a “graphics” folder simply create it 🙂
What if the downloaded files ends with .zip, .rar, .7z
If you have a file that ends in .zip, .rar or .7z then you'll need to extract the files before installing them. These files are called “archives” and are a way to compress a folder into a single file for downloading but you'll need to open them and get the folder that's in them before installing. DO NOT put these files in your graphics folder, it won't work.
Extract the files first and then put the extracted files into your graphics folder. If you're not sure how to extract them, look at these guides for windows or for mac.
What if the downloaded files are in parts e.g. “part01.rar”, “part02.rar” etc
If you have downloaded a pack in multiple parts ending in “part01.rar”, “part02.rar” etc then you do not have to extract them all individually. Just extract “part01.rar” and the rest should all be extracted automatically.
Step 2) How to refresh graphics in Football Manager
Unfortunately even though you have the folder in the right place Football Manager won't automatically pick up the new files. You're going to have to go in and tell Football Manager to reload your graphics.
Simply follow these instructions:
a) Open Football Manager
b) Click Preferences on the start screen (or if you're already in a game FM Logo > Preferences)
c) Click the “Advanced” tab
d) On the right hand side select “interface”
e) Scroll down the Skin Heading
f) Uncheck “Use caching to decrease page loading times”
g) Tick “Reload skin when confirming changes to preferences”
h) Click “Reload Skin”
And now your graphics should be appearing.
You should go back into the preferences and follow the same steps but this time tick “Use caching to decrease page loading times”, this will help with the long term performance of the game, but needed to be unticked to install these graphics.

hope so, welcome back!

Sorry to hear you have not been well. Obviously this logopack isn't something you are obliged to do, especially if it wears you out. If you do feel up to the task however, I hope the Italian logos I have posted are included. As I said before, I'm also making some more of them, so its not like you would have to do everything by yourself.
NunoKopio
I'll check your work and see what i can do, if you make them according to the white stroke rules i'll have no problem leaving Italy up to you.

Good to be back, hopefully i'm back for good. Too much bad things these year.

Good.
Since you are asking about changing the name, you probably have an idea?
hammer9
Nah, keep 'Shiny 15'

I think it should work, but there are probably clubs/competitions/etc. that have had their ids changed between FM12 and FM14. Those logos will not appear in your game. I don't know how many ids have changed, but if its many, it might be better to try to find a logopack that was built for FM12.

The good:
Got the game been seeing the changes and analysing the graphics.
The bad:
It seems they changed something there is another size of logos with the small, so there's another size to resize the logos, so it's more work. Also still testing the logos to see if they work on the game. I have some reports that some stuff doesn't work from 14 to 15.
More news later or tomorrow.
ducc
Are the small logos of different size than before, or is there a new size displayed on some screen? Could it be a UI bug where the game does not automatically resize the logo even though it should? I don't have the game yet...

Thank you for you great work.
Could you make an essential megapack, which consist only those big leagues missing icons in original FM (such us Premier league and Bundesliga), and make such a magapack in Mac Retina resolution? The current pack's resolution is too low and looks bad in retina display.
Thanks
ducc
Have you taken into account that the FM15 (and earlier versions I'm sure) default skin resizes the logos to considerably smaller size than they are in the pack - even on the club details screen. Perhaps trying a skin that uses the logos in their full or at least larger size would help with your issue?
NunoKopio
Sorry but we only work with the standart sizes on the game, it will have some changes in FM15.

Ducc the structure is all the same only difference is that the small folder has another folder inside named @2x where the size of the logos is 2x the size of the small ones, so the small ones are 25x18 and the ones inside @2x are 50x36, but i'm still researching if they are really needed.
Also the normal size on the xml no longer uses the huge line so only one config line on the normal sizes.
Note that the size of the small logos or icons is now 25x18 and the others inside folder @2x are 50x36

Megapack works on FM15 beta, i'm using it to see what logos are missing from it.
