A small solution for the Faces and Logos Issue

Hello everyone! As we all know, there's an issue with faces and logos that @Derek  mentioned. I've tried to find a way to solve it.

1) Faces fix

Renaming Face Files Using PowerShell (I'm on Windows 10)

First, navigate to your faces folder using the cd command. Then, run the following PowerShell script:
cd "C:\Users\okv\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\graphics\faces***" 
Get-ChildItem -Filter "*.png" | Where-Object { $_.Name -notmatch "_face\.png$" } | ForEach-Object { $newName = $_.BaseName + "_face" + $_.Extension; Rename-Item -Path $_.FullName -NewName $newName -Verbose }

***Make sure to specify your own path to the faces folder.
 

The renaming process took about 25-30 minutes for me.
This command adds the _face suffix to each image filename. For example, 1120.png becomes 1120_face.png.

You will also need to modify your config.xml file. Use the following command for this:

cd "C:\Users\okv\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\graphics\faces***"; (Get-Content config.xml -Raw) -replace 'from="([^"]+)"', 'from="$1_face"' | Set-Content config.xml -Encoding UTF8
 

***But don't forget to specify your own folder path.

2) Logo fix

I use FMG Standard Logos, but I always delete the default, alternatives, fantasy, and retro folders.
 

For clubs/normal folders (123.png → 123_club.png):

cd "C:\Users\okv\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\graphics\logos\clubs\normal" 
Get-ChildItem -Filter "*.png" | Where-Object { $_.Name -notmatch "_club\.png$" } | ForEach-Object { $newName = $_.BaseName + "_club" + $_.Extension; Rename-Item -Path $_.FullName -NewName $newName -Verbose }

For clubs config.xml:

cd "C:\Users\okv\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\graphics\logos\clubs\normal" (Get-Content config.xml -Raw) -replace 'from="([^"]+)"', 'from="$1_club"' | Set-Content config.xml -Encoding UTF8
 

For competitions/normal folders (123.png → 123_comp.png):

cd "C:\Users\okv\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\graphics\logos\competitions\normal" 
Get-ChildItem -Filter "*.png" | Where-Object { $_.Name -notmatch "_comp\.png$" } | ForEach-Object { $newName = $_.BaseName + "_comp" + $_.Extension; Rename-Item -Path $_.FullName -NewName $newName -Verbose }

For competitions config.xml:

cd "C:\Users\okv\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\graphics\logos\competitions\normal" (Get-Content config.xml -Raw) -replace 'from="([^"]+)"', 'from="$1_comp"' | Set-Content config.xml -Encoding UTF8
 

For confederations/normal folders (1.png → 1_conf.png):

cd "C:\Users\okv\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\graphics\logos\confederations\normal" 
Get-ChildItem -Filter "*.png" | Where-Object { $_.Name -notmatch "_conf\.png$" } | ForEach-Object { $newName = $_.BaseName + "_conf" + $_.Extension; Rename-Item -Path $_.FullName -NewName $newName -Verbose }

For confederations config.xml:

cd "C:\Users\okv\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\graphics\logos\confederations\normal" (Get-Content config.xml -Raw) -replace 'from="([^"]+)"', 'from="$1_conf"' | Set-Content config.xml -Encoding UTF8
 

For media/normal folders (adding _media suffix):

cd "C:\Users\okv\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\graphics\logos\media\normal" 
Get-ChildItem -Filter "*.png" | Where-Object { $_.Name -notmatch "_media\.png$" } | ForEach-Object { $newName = $_.BaseName + "_media" + $_.Extension; Rename-Item -Path $_.FullName -NewName $newName -Verbose }

For media config.xml:

cd "C:\Users\okv\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\graphics\logos\media\normal" (Get-Content config.xml -Raw) -replace 'from="([^"]+)"', 'from="$1_media"' | Set-Content config.xml -Encoding UTF8
 

For nations/normal folders (adding _nation suffix):

cd "C:\Users\okv\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\graphics\logos\nations\normal" 
Get-ChildItem -Filter "*.png" | Where-Object { $_.Name -notmatch "_nation\.png$" } | ForEach-Object { $newName = $_.BaseName + "_nation" + $_.Extension; Rename-Item -Path $_.FullName -NewName $newName -Verbose }

For nations config.xml:

cd "C:\Users\okv\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\graphics\logos\nations\normal" (Get-Content config.xml -Raw) -replace 'from="([^"]+)"', 'from="$1_nation"' | Set-Content config.xml -Encoding UTF8
 

Important: Remember to replace the path C:\Users\****\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\graphics\logos\****\**** with your own actual path!
 

For macOS Users

faces:
cd "PATH TO YOUR FACES FOLDER"
for file in *.png; do  if [[ ! "$file" =~ _face***\.png$ ]]; then    mv "$file" "${file%.png}_face.png"  fi done
config.xml for faces:
cd "PATH TO YOUR FACES FOLDER"
sed -i '' 's/from="\([^"]*\)"/from="\1_face***"/g' config.xml

***Logos are processed similarly using the appropriate suffixes (_club, _comp, _conf, _media, _nation)

I cannot imagine why (I've been having the problem all Beta, but no matter what I do, the Brazilian Serie A never has a logo … despite apparently not having a single conflicting ID or file name.

Turns out, for whatever reason, the IDs were duplicated in the actual XML file. Why I would have done that, I cannot tell you.

The most important thing is the presence of graphics and a smile on the faces of the players in FM 26)))

thank you for this!

I just can’t get the logo’s to work. I have a working face pack and I’m doing the same as I have on every past FM when downloading the badge packs, it’s unzipped and inside my ‘graphics’ folder but whenever I load up the game nothing pulls through… please can someone help?

Thank you, it's really useful. When updates are released, config has to be edited again, as well as all of the PNGs in the zip file, but that's minimal effort. 

It worked like a charm and you're the best. Took only a few minutes for me for the longest operation (faces renaming obviously).

Thank you so much for the kind words!! I'm always happy to help <3

Hey chat, probably been asked already. Been playing on gamepass PC (so used to Steam process)

How can you add badges facepacks etc to the game? Ive tried what you'd assume you'd do on steam….Its rather annoying ^^

I have created a script for macOS users.
You need to navigate to the script's path in the terminal:
cd /PATH/
and then run the command:
./fm26_graphics_fix.sh

 

Is it possible to create the same for Windows users?

I'm very lazy because I spend 90% of my time under macOS

Maybe for not a big donation from my side 🙂 ?

Seems a bit confusing — would you be able to create a tutorial video, please? I really want to get the logos working properly. Thank you  

give me some time, I'll try to automate the script and make instructions.

Thank you! If I understand correctly, for those of us who want to keep using the Metallic Logo Pack from SortitoutSI, the only way to fix it right now is by using your method. Otherwise, we can just download the logo megapack from FMG, which doesn’t have this issue.

I updated the script, now it automatically searches for folders with graphics.
 

I made an automatic script for windows, just run the bat file (it's important, two files should be in the same folder, in any folder)
 

upd for Windows

worked brilliantly mate, thanks a lot!

quick question, If I download updates to logos/faces and the new files are named in the old way, will the script just update the new ones I have added or will it rename them all again?

Hello, I have a question I downloaded the facepack for FM26, and I am missing the config file not sure what happend but for the logos and kits those are fine but im not sure what to do could anyone help pleasee?
