Logos and icons

How the game finds an AI logo

Vanilla looks AI business logos up by business name, not by business type or mod. For a given name it checks, in order:

1. The modded-logo folder on disk:

   <StreamingAssets>/BusinessLogos/<safe name>/<size>.jpg

   from the game's own LogoHelper.GetModdedBusinessLogosFolder(), with <safe name> produced by LogoHelper.GetBusinessNamePathSafe().
2. Addressables, under the key BusinessLogos/<safe name>/<size>, accepting either .jpg or .png.
3. Neither: the game logs “Couldn't find AI business logo” and uses the ? texture.

File names and formats

What	Value
Folder	<StreamingAssets>/BusinessLogos/<safe business name>/
Files	SquareSign.jpg, WideSign.jpg, Billboard.jpg
Format on disk	JPEG. The generator writes .jpg; Addressables also accepts .png.
All three required?	Yes, for the folder to count as complete — BusinessBridge only treats a name as already handled when all three exist and are non-empty.
Dimensions	Not imposed by BusinessBridge. The game's own BusinessLogoGenerator decides the size for each of the three sign types; if you ship your own, match what the generator produces for a comparable business rather than guessing a number.

What BusinessBridge does for you

For each template it creates, BusinessBridge generates the three JPGs into the folder the game already searches, using the game's own BusinessLogoGenerator and the LogoSettings taken from your donor business type — which is where the logo font and colours come from — plus the logo shapes declared on your business type.

• Existing files are reused, never regenerated. If the three files are already there and non-empty, nothing is written.
• A shipped logo always wins. If an Addressables logo exists for that name, BusinessBridge leaves it alone and generates nothing.
• The folder is proved writable first. An exception inside the generator's coroutine would wedge the game's logo queue, so BusinessBridge writes and deletes a probe file before asking the generator to do anything.

Missing or invalid logo behaviour

Logo generation is non-critical. Every one of these is logged and then ignored: the folder cannot be created, the folder is not writable, the generator is missing or throws, the files are not written, or the sign refresh fails. In all of them the store shows the game's normal not-found logo and the AI integration is unaffected.

It can never fail a registration. If you see stores with a ? sign, the integration is working and only the logo is not.

A miss is not cached by the game, so a logo that appears later is picked up by the next lookup — you do not have to restart to see a logo you have just added. Note that verifying the game files through Steam can delete the modded-logo folder; BusinessBridge simply regenerates on the next run.

Shipping your own logos

Put three correctly named JPEGs in the folder above, keyed by the exact business name, and BusinessBridge will leave them alone. There is no registration field for logos and none is needed.

Not the same thing: item icons

Product and item icons are a separate game system — Addressables under ItemIcons/<id> — and are nothing to do with the BusinessBridge contract. Registering with BusinessBridge neither provides nor requires them.
