The archetype for Final Fantasy logos, beginning in Japan with Final Fantasy IV and in North America with Final Fantasy VII.

The logos for each Final Fantasy game have a similar style. Starting with Final Fantasy IV, all game logos feature the same basic layout. The older games also received logos in the same style when they were re-released. Although the exact font used for the main series logo is unknown, it most resembles the fonts Runic Std Condensed by Gerry Powell[1] and Enge Etienne digitized by Castcraft Software Inc.[2]

Yoshitaka Amano's logo art[]

Line art and final logo art comparison for Final Fantasy III 3D remake.

The logo art for the main series games, and for many spin-offs and sequels, is by Japanese artist Yoshitaka Amano who has been involved with the Final Fantasy series since its start. The games are in development when the logo requests are sent to Amano without much documentation to go by. Amano then interprets the information available and tries to incorporate it and create an illustration out of it. As the logo art is based around a central concept, not much of the important aspects would drift or change significantly even if the logo is created early in production. Because the title logo is monochrome to a certain degree, Amano illustrates the logo as a standalone piece of art. Rather than receiving visuals, Amano creates the character illustrations from text-based information, like the age and the role they play. As he is not a character designer, but an illustrator, there are more instances where he has worked off text received from the development team. He has said that anything written in text builds and expands imagination, whereas visual assets to review or look at, would be "the end of it."[3]

After Amano has drawn the logo art the actual logo is designed around it by the design team that chooses the color for the logo, among other aspects. Square Enix likes to reflect colors from the logo art within the key art; for example, the green and blue of the Final Fantasy VII Meteor logo are also reflected in the Mako energy and Lifestream that play crucial roles in the game, and in the tone of its key art.[4]

Yoshitaka Amano signed his Final Fantasy X, X-2, XII, XII International Zodiac Job System, XIII-2, Final Fantasy XVI, Dissidia, Dissidia 012, and Fabula Nova Crystallis logos.

Main series[]

Final Fantasy[]

Latest logo for Final Fantasy.

The logo for the original Final Fantasy shows the title in a simple light blue font with semi-transparent characters. It was the only time the title was entirely in katakana, rather than primarily English letters with a kana subtitle. The English logo is done in a custom font, slightly bolded, in red.

The logo of the re-releases, starting from Final Fantasy Origins for PlayStation, features a Yoshitaka Amano drawing of the Warrior of Light in light blue, a callback to the original Japanese logo's color.

In Dissidia Final Fantasy, the Warrior's appearance and pose during his EX Burst mimic this logo's artwork, and his crystal has a light blue hue identical to the logo's color.

The logo was redesigned again for the Final Fantasy 20th Anniversary version of the game for the PlayStation Portable, still featuring the Warrior of Light, now in a different pose, and has been used since for all media featuring Final Fantasy.


Final Fantasy II[]

Latest logo for Final Fantasy II.

The original logo for Final Fantasy II is done in a colorful italic style: the writing is done in pale-purple fading into bright blue, the edges the letters are rimmed with gold, while the numerals are in a medium-to-light blue. The whole is styled vaguely in the shape of a dragon, emphasized more by the red reptilian eye incorporated into the first letter.

The logo of the Final Fantasy Origins and Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls re-releases features a Yoshitaka Amano drawing of The Emperor in pink. The logo was again redesigned for the 20th Anniversary PSP release, still featuring the Emperor, now in a different pose, and has been used since for all media featuring Final Fantasy II.

The pink colors used in the redesigned logos may possibly allude to the Wild Rose Rebellion, the rebel army that Firion and his group join to combat the Palamecian forces, and that several roses in real life take on a dark pink color. It may also allude to the pink crystal corridors found within Pandaemonium. The pink hues is also used for Firion's crystal in Dissidia Final Fantasy.


Final Fantasy III[]

Latest logo for Final Fantasy III.

The logo for Final Fantasy III features the title in an italic orange font, and three crystal columns in the background. The letters are styled almost exactly like the previous game, only this time they are all-gold.

The logo of the Nintendo DS re-release features a Yoshitaka Amano drawing of an unnamed Warrior of Light holding two swords in greens and blues. In Dissidia Final Fantasy, the Onion Knight strikes this pose during the Ninjutsu version of his EX Burst. This logo has been used for all following versions of Final Fantasy III.

The green colors used in the remake logo may refer to the recurring element of wind featured throughout Final Fantasy III. It could also refer to the color scheme of the game's main antagonist. The green hues are also used for Onion Knight's crystal in Dissidia Final Fantasy.


Final Fantasy IV[]

Final Fantasy IV.

The logo of Final Fantasy IV features a Yoshitaka Amano drawing of Kain Highwind in purple, posing in a shape of number four in Arabic numeral. The color of the text matches the color of the drawing. The logo marks several things: it adopts what would become the "standard" design of the title logo, with the title in English and a katakana subscript and incorporating a piece of Amano artwork between or near (in this case, between) the "Final" and "Fantasy." It adopts the "standard" font for the series going forward, abandoning the stylized italics of the previous logos, and the font also seems influenced by the font of the American edition of the first Final Fantasy with a similar A, N, I and L (though with less elaborate Fs and a much narrower T). This overall design would become the standard for nearly every release to follow. The original logo's color is used for Cecil's crystal in Dissidia Final Fantasy.

The logo of the North American release was done in a gilded style in a typeface similar to the English logo for Final Fantasy, but with somewhat less elaborate Fs (though they retain the distinctive tapered tail), narrower Ns and As, and most prominently a T which takes the form of a sword. The numeral was also changed from "IV" to "II" to avoid continuity issues. The logo for the WonderSwan Color release incorporated a gradient. This was the basis for the Final Fantasy IV Advance logo. The Japan-exclusive mobile phone port features a different shade of purple.

The sword model that replaces the "T" in the North American localization of Final Fantasy IV (written as Final Fantasy II) is identical to that in the logo of Final Fantasy Adventure, Final Fantasy Legend II, and Final Fantasy Legend III, right down to the lens flare.

The Nintendo DS version had a redesigned logo featuring Golbez. The new logo wasn't a concept that pre-existed from the original. Amano has later described the logo as "cool" and said the designer making the logo based on his illustration did a good job merging them. The Golbez illustration was originally ink art, but the logo designer at Square Enix added red in it. Amano himself enjoys dark, boss-like characters, and tends to lean toward these types of illustrations.[3]


Final Fantasy V[]

Final Fantasy V.

The logo of Final Fantasy V features a Yoshitaka Amano drawing of a wind drake in purple and light blue. The text is a dark blue and the "V" strays from the traditional font style. In Dissidia Final Fantasy, Bartz's crystal uses the same hues as the logo.


Final Fantasy VI[]

Final Fantasy VI.

The logo of Final Fantasy VI features a Yoshitaka Amano drawing of Terra Branford atop a Magitek Armor, depicting an event when she was in the thrall of the Gestahlian Empire. The armor and its rider are in black and red, while the text is black, from here on becoming standard for the series. Amano considers the logo memorable at the time as Terra was one of the first female main characters in the series and the logo is just the silhouette without actual faces and lines; Amano describes early logos in the series as more simplistic that gradually became more illustration-like.[3] In Dissidia Final Fantasy, Terra's crystal uses the same color hues as the original logo.

The logo of the North American release, done in the exact style of the Final Fantasy "II" English logo, changed "VI" to "III" to avoid continuity issues. While the box of the SNES release retains the "sword T" that had been used in "II", Adventure and the Legend releases, the logo in the game itself is instead a "normal" T with a thin, slightly stretched top which touches the N and A, in a manner reminiscent of the T in the first North American Final Fantasy logo.


Final Fantasy VII[]

Final Fantasy VII logo.

The logo of Final Fantasy VII features Meteor in varying shades of turquoise. The smaller stone may be a piece of Materia. The green and blue of the logo set the theme for the color tone for the rest of the game as well, reflected in the Mako energy and Lifestream that play crucial roles in the story.[4] Amano has described creating the Final Fantasy VII logo as a challenge. He drew many variations and concepts around the Meteor motif, and in the end wasn't sure if it was good and thus let the developers choose the final version.[3]

In Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children the town of Edge has a Meteor monument that resembles the logo. The logo of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is also a stylized version of the original Final Fantasy VII logo. The game marks the point the same logo and numbering was used worldwide.

Final Fantasy VII Remake[]

Final Fantasy VII Remake logo

The logo for Final Fantasy VII Remake shows the same Meteor from the original game, but now in a 3-D perspective, and a darker green color. A hint of green is shown at the bottom of the Final Fantasy title font. The title Remake is in black and is added at the bottom, outlined in green as well.

Director Tetsuya Nomura had wanted to use the logo from the game for the E3 2015 reveal trailer, but the remake logo hadn't been completed yet. Nomura wanted to match the atmosphere and had the idea to make it metallic, and the trailer staff made the logo as per Nomura's wishes. That logo ended up being used in the final game. The logo in the E3 2015 trailer doesn't have "Final Fantasy", just the Meteor and the word "REMAKE". This was because Nomura had always wanted to just have the Meteor logo. Back before the original came out the advertising producer at the time had suggested using just the logo for the game case, rationalizing that even without the title, everyone would know it was Final Fantasy VII, and ever since Nomura had wanted to do it.[5] The logo of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is largely the same as that of the original Final Fantasy VII Remake, but shifts the word "Remake" to the left side, with "Intergrade" in a different font and color gradient following.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth[]

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth logo

The logo for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is almost identical to the Remake logo in coloration, but has the title Rebirth in turquoise and red with a red outline, with the bottom of the Meteor also given a red hue.


Final Fantasy VIII[]

Final Fantasy VIII.

The logo of Final Fantasy VIII features a red and orange drawing of Squall embracing Rinoa. The two assume the pose in-game during a scene at Sorceress Memorial, which is alluded to in the opening cinematic. The team knew that the Rinoa and Squall scene was going to be a a big moment in the game, so they asked Yoshitaka Amano to draw this for the logo. The red to yellow gradient reflects the sunset in the background of the moment Rinoa is falling to Squall's arms in the opening cinematic.[4]

The logo of Final Fantasy VIII Remastered features the same illustration, with the text "Remastered" under the title.


Final Fantasy IX[]

Final Fantasy IX logo.

The logo of Final Fantasy IX features the crystal from which all life originates in shades of gold. The game number matches the crystal's color. In Dissidia Final Fantasy , Zidane's crystal and golden color recall the game's logo.


Final Fantasy X[]

Final Fantasy X.

The logo of Final Fantasy X features Yuna performing a sending at the Kilika Port in a variety of vibrant shades, reminiscent of the iridescence of pyreflies also crucial for the scene the logo depicts. It is the first to officially bear Amano's signature, visible in the bottom-right corner. Like Final Fantasy V, the "X" strays from the traditional font style.

There also exists a scrapped logo from the Square Millennium Event trailer. Yuna's face is seen on the left, facing the beholder, with her right hand raised upwards, and the profile of a large airship in the background. This image is taken from the 25th Anniversary Ultimania. The logo for the HD Remaster is almost identical to the original logo, apart from a bar done in the style of sunlit water beneath the main title, with silver writing superimposed over it.


Final Fantasy XI[]

Final Fantasy XI.

The logo of Final Fantasy XI features a drawing of an army, likely an Allied regiment in the great Crystal War of the past. In its center, the light blue logo features five warriors, each representing a playable race in the game. Amano has described the Final Fantasy XI logo as the most challenging illustration because there are so many characters. He used a huge piece of paper to create it, and has described the process as "very tedious."[3] For the game's expansion packs, on the login screen the logo of each expansion is displayed, illuminated if owned by the player or watermarked if not.


Final Fantasy XII[]

Final Fantasy XII.

The logo of Final Fantasy XII features Judge Gabranth in blue and purple, with a peach-colored brushstroke on the right. He assumes this pose once in the game, when met inside Sky Fortress Bahamut. In Dissidia Final Fantasy, Gabranth strikes this pose to end his EX Burst. Yoshitaka Amano's signature is visible just next to Gabranth's foot in the bottom-left part of the image.

During the time Amano created the logo illustration for Final Fantasy XII there was a bit of a distance between his office and the Square Enix office, and he drew up another piece while the Square representative was on the way to pick up the pieces; the one drawn within that hour was the one that ended up being chosen. Amano used Japanese-style ink that was kind of like watercolor, leaving brush marks that led to the the touch and style of that particular piece. Amano has described the forward-thinking brush effect as something that can only come about spontaneously, and said that logos don't necessarily come about following the request.[3]

The logo of Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System was painted by Yoshitaka Amano. It shows off the five Judge Magisters.


Final Fantasy XIII[]

Final Fantasy XIII.

The logo of Final Fantasy XIII features Cocoon, with Fang, Vanille, and Ragnarok holding it in the sky. The crystal pillar is replaced with the outline of Serah's pendant. For the first time, in lieu of traditional white, the text is outlined in turquoise to match Yoshitaka Amano's artwork. The logo design directly influenced the game's ending, where Cocoon was designed to match the logo art.

Final Fantasy XIV[]

Final Fantasy XIV, as it appears from A Realm Reborn onwards.

The logo of Final Fantasy XIV fittingly features fourteen warriors joined with various weapons drawn. They are shaded in a variety of colors including blue, purple, orange, and red.

Final Fantasy XIV, as it appeared in the original version.

For the relaunch, Final Fantasy XIV was remade from the ground up and given a new name, with accompanying changes to the logo. Now called Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, the logo is the same art as the original, but colored entirely blue, and the subtitle "A Realm Reborn" is in red with the letter O in flames, representing the meteor that sent the world to a new era for the game's relaunch. Later marketing materials for the game would no longer feature the subtitle "A Realm Reborn".

During beta versions of A Realm Reborn, the words "β Version" were appended under the right side the logo in pink. This was removed upon start of the Early Access period.

Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward's logo shows Ishgardian soldiers fighting against a dragon, symbolizing the Dragonsong War. The Dragoon on the left side might be Estinien Wyrmblood, a major character of the expansion. The city of Ishgard itself appears in the background.

Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood's logo shows Lyse Hext leading the Ala Mhigan Revolution, followed by the Warrior of Light, Raubahn and other revolutionaries. The background takes the form of a flag, a symbol often associated with real-world revolutions.

Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers' logo shows a Dark Knight carrying a sword, symbolizing the expansion's theme of the Warrior of Light becoming a Warrior of Darkness.

Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker's logo shows the Ragnarok flying past the moon, one of the expansion's major areas. The moon's shape is also implying a hollow sphere, implying it contains something .


Final Fantasy XV[]

Final Fantasy XV.

The logo of Final Fantasy XV features the Oracle, a healer who maintains the balance of the world of Eos, sleeping with her head resting on her arms, with a crystal sphere representing the sun or the moon behind her, and a large wing on her left. The shape of the logo, meant to represent a shut eye, refers to the game's theme song "Somnus".[6] The text is outlined in a color that matches the artwork, which is in various shades of steel-blue through to black, reflecting the darker tone of the story. Final Fantasy XV: Royal Edition uses the same logo with with "Royal Edition" in golden text underneath.

The bottom of the Final Fantasy XV title is also shown to have a seemingly rocky looking texture.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)
FFXV final logo

At the the post-credits scene Lunafreya Nox Fleuret is revealed as the Oracle in the logo. The logo is then updated as Noctis Lucis Caelum in royal attire is added sleeping beside her, reflecting the ending of Final Fantasy XV. Noctis's royal attire features a large dark cloak that appears behind Lunafreya, and his coloration is identical to hers; the two are steel-blue while their extended clothing is black. The updated logo replaces the original one on the title screen. In Final Fantasy XV -The Dawn of the Future-, Lunafreya's "Scourge Queen/Goddess" form resembles how she appears on the main game's logo.

Director Hajime Tabata wanted the last cut superimposed with the title logo. Noctis's voice actor, Tatsuhisa Suzuki, wanted Noctis to be included in the logo and Tabata appeased the suggestion. After Yoshitaka Amano drew the new logo, Tabata was amazed how the ending direction came to life.[7]

Should the player view the Credits option on the title screen, which is added after beating the game, the updated logo is also featured at the end of the credits.

The developers had many discussions with Yoshitaka Amano about how to get the new logo and the reveal to work. The team wanted to have a new logo to symbolize the beginning of a new journey, since it had been ten years since Final Fantasy Versus XIII was announced, and they wanted to show the change in a nice way.[8]

Spoilers end here.

The original Final Fantasy Versus XIII logo is identical apart from the text and the coloring, which is done in a lighter coloring style of light to dark blue.[9]

Amano's first reaction to the tweaked Final Fantasy XV illustration was "Oh, it's finally being realized after all this time."[3]

A more humorous depiction of the logo is featured in an advertisement for Final Fantasy XV and Nissin Cup Noodle, a real-life noodle brand that's also a consumable food in the game. In this altered logo, the crystal sphere behind the Oracle is replaced with a large kettle that's blowing steam, and the Oracle is shown about to eat a Cup Noodle, while still maintaining her sleeping position.[10]

Final Fantasy XVI[]

Final Fantasy XVI.

The logo art features two "Eikons" of fire, Phoenix and Ifrit, engaging in battle, as depicted in the prologue. The text is outlined in white, while the logo color goes from fiery golden to a blueish purple across the battling Eikons, alluding to main protagonist Clive Rosfield's conflict against the main antagonist, and also possibly dawn, a recurring theme in the game. Yoshitaka Amano's signature is visible next to Ifrit's foot in the bottom-right.

It's the first logo in the series to feature both a protagonist and antagonist.

It features a clock design similar to the Mog Clock, with three hands positioned equidistant from each other; the same design is used for the Crystaria of Paradigm Pack monsters acquired via DLC.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.

The logo of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII differs from the Final Fantasy norm and from the other logos in the Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy series by not featuring a Yoshitaka Amano artwork and not using the usual typeface. It features an emblem that resembles a crystal and the text has a crystalline texture to it. There are also patterns in it resembling lightning bolts, likely relating to the game's heroine. In-game this is the crest of the savior.

The logo of Final Fantasy Tactics is a group of soldiers, including a Black Mage, a Ninja, and a Knight.

Final Fantasy Type-0[]

Final Fantasy Type-0.

The logo of Final Fantasy Type-0 features the goddess Diva, with both "aspects" of her touching a crystal sphere. The kanji word (零式, reishiki?, lit. Type-0) was drawn by Yusuke Naora, while the main artwork was designed by Amano.[13][14] The text is done in black with white borders. The original logo, when the game was named Agito XIII, has text in outlined in a color that matches the artwork, which is done in paler shades than the Type-0 artwork. The logo for its HD release is also identical to the original, except with the color of the artwork changed to gold surrounded by sparkling particles, the kanji "Final Fantasy" removed from above the main text and "HD" added after the Type-0 kanji in a style similar to some types of Japanese calligraphy.

The change in the game's coloring tone from the original red to the golden tone in the HD remake was not completely planned from the beginning, but came from the new logo. Yusuke Naora designed the new logo as per director Hajime Tabata's request, and the team decided to unite the presentation of the new game under the golden tone from the new logo, although this could not be carried out exactly as it made the game too dark in places to see all the details.[15]

Final Fantasy Agito[]

Final Fantasy Agito.

The logo of Final Fantasy Agito is virtually unchanged from its previous incarnations, being the same image with an altered, bright pink-to-red color-palette, and surrounded by a crimson blur. While the main title is done in the Runic MT Condensed format common to the series, the word "Agito", which dominates the title, is done in an oriental style similar to the HD moniker for Type-0. The text of the Agito+ logo is identical except for the addition of the "+" sign and the katakana for "plus" in the text. The color is also altered to various shades of blue and white.

Final Fantasy Awakening[]

Final Fantasy Awakening.

The logo for Final Fantasy Awakening is similar to the logo for Agito in coloring, but the blur is removed and the logo has floating objects like cherry blossom or crystal fragments rising up from the image of Diva.
