For the landmark in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, see Vinewood Sign (3D Universe).
The Vinewood Sign is an iconic landmark located in Vinewood Hills, Los Santos County, that appears in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Description[]
It is restricted to hike to the Vinewood Sign.
The landmark was first mentioned to exist in Grand Theft Auto IV and The Ballad of Gay Tony.
It is located at the summit of Mount Haan in Vinewood Hills. The sign itself has been scaled to appear slightly larger than its previous universe counterpart. Additionally, each letter has a ladder on the side of it, leading up to a small platform behind each letter. There are also various items of graffiti scrawled on the surface of the signs. Several large lights provide illumination to the sign at night.
Although there are various signs posted around the Vinewood Sign saying that the area is restricted to the public, hikers can frequently be found taking pictures by the sign, or on the small dirt path behind it.
Occasionally, a Frogger can be seen circling around the sign at daytime. Attacking the Frogger will result in a 3-star wanted level.
History[]
Photograph showing the old "Vinewoodland" sign.
A vintage photograph of the Vinewood Sign has the spelling of "Vinewoodland". Inside several barber salons, the player can see copies of this. This is also seen in the background of the show Moorehead Rides Again (set in Los Santos in 1947).
This reflects the real-life history of the Hollywood Sign, which read "Hollywoodland" until 1949.
Influence[]
The Vinewood Sign is based on the Hollywood Sign in Los Angeles.

Trivia[]
- There is a graffiti on the back of the sign with the number 69 written out.
- In addition, the sign has the giant antenna behind it positioned in between the two O's in "Vinewood," giving it the resemblance of a phallus. This is yet another nod to Rockstar's adult humor.
- The bars in the middle of the "D" can be destroyed, possibly because of the jump behind.
