Some time ago (depending on platform, 2 years or 3 months ago) a tiny bug crept into the system wherein emblems with transparent backgrounds turned solid white. This allows emblems to look better from an aesthetic point of view on various vehicles, as well as allow for a wider range of designs. It's also possible for Crew emblems to have a transparent background in case you didn't want an emblem that was a square. There are a few decency rules, but the administrators of Crews are generally allowed to get creative. Each GTA Online crew can create and upload, via the Social Club, a special icon or image that becomes the Crew's logo. As such, playing in the crew-only private lobbies of your own team will ensure a non-toxic environment.Ĭrewmembers can represent their crew by emblazoning their Crew Emblem on their vehicles. Plus, there are griefers and assholes everywhere.

While the hacker issue on PC has been solved, and hackers are still unable to get onto the current gen consoles, the Xbox 360 and PS3 are still pretty much infested. However, they are more than important for the community. While the importance of these affiliations differs between games - in some cases, they are involved in the core mechanic - they don't have too much significance in GTA Online functionality-wise.
