{{Support}} While many of the previous nicknames were cluttered, there are certain cases where we usually refer to a logo by its nickname (e.g. "V of Doom" versus "1976 Viacom logo," ''all'' THX trailers, etc.). I would support limited use of the Nickname subheading for these prominent cases. I would not, however, make it a mandatory inclusion. I think most of the random, poor quality nicknames were created by editors looking for something, anything, to fill out the field.
