Grupheetie is a logo that appears on various items across the Battle for Dream Island series.
Appearance[]
Grupheetie made its debut in "Are You Smarter Than a Snowball?" on the Ice Cube Recovery Center Creator. It is considerably crude compared to its future appearances.
It was originally written in white lettering with an underline. The dot above the "i" is replaced with a star. A face drawn with a thick black outline and colored yellow is to the bottom left of the symbol.
In "Insectophobe's Nightmare", it was touched up along with the rest of the Ice Cube Recovery Center Creator. The text is now a light gray color instead of white. The face is moved to under the "U" instead of to the bottom left of the "G". The face also uses a thinner outline and the colors on the face have a gray tint to it. This design was used for six years, with "Welcome Back" being the final instance of this design being used.
In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", it was redesigned to be much more transparent. It was still fitted onto the Recovery Centers. The text is now boxy and illegible (presumably written in Yoylese). The face has been redesigned to appear blocky as well.
In "Get to the Top in 500 Steps", it appears on the back of Loser's desk, using the design from "Insectophobe's Nightmare".

Trivia[]
- Grupheetie is a butchering of "graffiti".
- While one may assume that Grupheetie is graffiti, the recovery centers appear to have the Grupheetie logo already on them, notably when Firey Speaker Box threw the Hand Powered Hand Powered Recovery Center Creator onto the ground, it was present.
- Given that the logo has a face on it, it is possible that this is related to Yellow Face, but this is not confirmed.
- Grupheetie may possibly be a place or brand that manufactures Recovery Centers.
- A mobile app named "Gruph" is seen in A Taste of Space, referencing Grupheetie.
- The Grupheetie logo seen in BFB is actually Yoylese letters. Using the full Yoylese alphabet found in the IDFB 1 FLAs, the text translates to 'Vandalism'.[1]
