GTA 5 Icon: The Logo and the In-Game Symbols

"GTA 5 icon" gets searched for two genuinely different reasons, so here is both.

The app icon

The launcher and box art icon uses the game's cover art — a woman in sunglasses over a stylised Los Santos skyline, built around a large V, the Roman numeral for 5. It is consistent across Steam, Epic Games Store, the Rockstar Games Launcher and every console storefront.

In-game map and HUD icons

Once you are playing, a separate set of icons covers the minimap and pause-menu map: coloured blips for story missions, side content, businesses and properties, plus HUD icons for wanted level, health, armour and special ability.

Where to look them up

Rockstar does not publish an official key for every blip colour, so third-party guides that compile the full icon legend are genuinely useful — bookmark one if you are trying to tell a random event blip from a stranger mission at a glance.

The short version

If you meant the launcher icon, it is the V-and-skyline cover art. If you meant the map symbols, that is a much longer list worth its own reference page.
