In Counter-Strike 2, the most prestigious competition is the Major. Organized under the auspices of game developer and publisher, Valve, this team gathers the best teams in the world.

However, today, we are focusing on a different aspect of this tournament. Every Major, except the first Major, is always accompanied by the release of a sticker depicting the team logo. Today, the CS.MONEY Blog explores how the logos—and stickers—of the top teams in CS2 have evolved over time.

By the way, the Battle Pass event is in full swing! We will be holding a big draw soon, and you still have a chance to enter! Click on the banner to learn the details.

Born to Win

When did it change: 2020

What’s changed: The old and new logos are very similar. The new logo features fewer small details and has a more angular design. The text below the logo that previously displayed the team’s full name has been removed.

Virtus.pro

When did it change: 2019

What changed: After 2019, the logo returned to its classic orange, black, and white color scheme, and the bear mascot lost some details. In addition, the logo itself has been redesigned to resemble the letter “V”, the first letter of the team name.

MOUZ

When will it change: 2021

What changed: In short—everything. The old logo featuring a very strange looking mouse was replaced with a sleek, bright red design. The new logo combines the letter “M” with an abstract representation of a heart or mouse head.

Fnatik

When did it change: 2020

What’s changed: Fnatic gave its logo a bit of modernization. There’s now less detail, sharper corners, and a bright orange color. The font used in the logo has not changed, although it was changed slightly in the previous update.

Ninja in Pajamas

When did it change: 2020

What’s changed: Before 2020, NiP had simplified its logo several times. The latest update removes all rounded edges and adds sharp corners. Another significant change is the new color palette, replacing dark beige with bright green.

Complexity Game

When did it change: 2019

What’s changed: The team’s old logo resembled a ring made of two elements—red and white. The new logo features a blue star, marking a complete redesign. Interestingly, Jason Lake, the founder and leader of the organization, mentioned the possibility of returning the old logo.

Team Spirit

When will it change: 2022

What’s changed: The latest logo update is a minor cleanup, removing small details. The last major redesign was in 2021, when the dragon mascot was flipped to face the opposite direction, and the background, shadows and colors were removed. In addition, the dragon’s mouth is closed so that its tongue does not stick out.

Heroic

When will it change: 2023

What’s changed: Like Spirit, Heroic’s latest logo update is a minor cosmetic change. Previously, this organization had radically changed its logo several times. In 2023, the black striped helmet with a red triangle background was replaced with a white helmet with a red stripe.

G2 Esports

When did it change: 2019

What changed: In 2019, the G2 logo dropped the dark tones and shadows, and one of the samurai’s eyes was colored red. Interestingly, the team logo has been recolored several times in the colors of the French flag on the stickers, and previously the samurai helmets were simply painted red.

Oh, and here’s your code for the Battle Pass: R3EYTLQ5

FaZe Clan

When does it change: 2024

What changed: The color. The color. The color. FaZe Clan often changes the color scheme of its logo, but the shape of the letter “F” remains the same. The color has changed from a yellow-red-blue tricolor to pink, then plain red, then tomato red, and now red with a white border.

HellRaisers (honorable mention)

Rounding off the rundown of old and new logos, we can’t leave out HellRaisers. Perhaps the most radical rebranding, it never got to the big stickers. The iconic Satan logo featuring the letters “H” and “R” was replaced by two… red rectangles. It’s interesting to imagine how the logo would look on the sticker!
