Have the new mascots appear on all the sections

I've heard the wiki's got mascots now. Well, for the people who haven't seen the RfC confirming it, we should add them to all the sections of the wiki to make them known to everyone. It could look like this:

  • Film: Ace, Vivi and Jeff watching a movie together.
  • Television: Ace watching Sonic Underground (I know Sonic Underground has mixed-to-negative reviews, but it's nostalgic.)
  • Home Entertainment: Vivi holding a DVD with the AVID logo on it.
  • Animation: Vivi drawing herself at an animation studio.
  • Music Entertainment: Jeff playing the flute.
  • Adult Entertainment: Ace holding a "Censored" bar.
  • Commercial: Ace frustratingly watching the TV saying "Another stupid commercial break!"
  • Online: Vivi on her phone.
  • Education: Jeff wearing a scholar hat with a college degree in his hand.
  • Video Game: Ace slaps his forehead with a game controller in his other hand, with a TV saying "GAME OVER!"
  • Technology: Vivi makes a video game on nVIDIA software, while Ace and Jeff watch.
  • Station IDs: Ace dances to the WNET 1972 ident, because of the catchy music.
  • Television Bumpers: Vivi watches the 2000s Boomerang bumper for Top Cat, saying "Those statues look weird."
  • Cinema: Ace, Jeff and Vivi go to the cinemas, eating popcorn.
  • Film Rating: Vivi being denied from watching the movie (the movie was NC-17 and Vivi was 16).
  • Home Media Bumpers: Jeff watching a Walt Disney Home Video "Stay Tuned" bumper, saying "Another excuse to keep me awake."
  • Startups: Ace looking at his phone, saying "How long is this phone gonna take?!"
  • Logo Variations: Ace, Vivi and Jeff watch a movie with a logo variant, all saying "This looks different!"

EDIT: I forgot to do the ones for a few of the categories:

  • Corporate: Jeff in a suit holding a briefcase, saying "Stonks."
  • Browse by Company: Ace trying to find a job.
  • Browse by Country: Vivi holding a map, along with Ace and Jeff.

As well as the templates:

  • Seizure Warning: Vivi having a seizure (she watched a late 90s StudioCanal movie, and saw the 2nd logo).
  • Loud Noises: Jeff blasting an air horn in Ace's "ear".

I can't think of anymore templates, go nuts with the other ones.

  1. Support followed with that AVGN quote. I see it as a good way for us to use the mascots more, without letting them go to waste. IAmThe789Guy (talk) 18:30, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

  10. Support except as others have stated Sonic Underground is a bit of a random choice. AlmightyKingPrawn (talk) 18:31, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
    I know, but it's criminally underrated, I'm a Sonic fan (as you can tell), and the Les Studios Tex logo is quite rare nowadays, so yeah, it is random but I still love Sonic Underground, no matter what the others say. And it's theme song is one of the best. Sonictailsknucklesshadow (talk) 18:39, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
    Well, it definitely wont be Sonic Underground. Sorry. (• USER TALK! •) 19:13, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
    Ok, now i'm rooting for The Loud House. Sonictailsknucklesshadow (talk) 19:15, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

  15. Support LET'S GO, I ALREADY LIKE THAT ONE. Cattotlebofficial (talk) 13:36, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
  16. Support for majority of template ideas,  Neutral on Television idea and Oppose for Seizure Warning idea. I'm for the majority of these ideas, but I do worry that, for the Television idea, there could be copyright issues from using Sonic Underground as the show being watched. I think making it a more nondescript TV show would be better and would avoid any risk of those issues. As for the Seizure Warning idea, not a fan of it since, while I know it wasn't intentional, it could come across as insensitive to people who have epilepsy. I think Charlie's idea might be better. HibiscusCrown20 (talk) 16:20, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
    Strong agreement with all of Hibiscus' takes here. AlmightyKingPrawn (talk) 18:15, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
  17. Support to all bar the "seizure" one, which I give my Oppose, for the same reasons as Hibiscus. I also agree with her point on Sonic Underground, although I don't think it's a bad idea overall. Luke2505 (talk) 00:13, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

 Comment: Wait why Sonic Underground? If we do something like this, we might have to do a different show. Like One Day At A Time or Laramie (• USER TALK! •) 18:51, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

It's nostalgic to me and certainly one of the most underrated cartoons of all time. I will admit Sonia's voice is a form of torture though. Sonictailsknucklesshadow (talk) 18:52, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
It also has a pretty rare logo nowadays (Les Studios Tex) Sonictailsknucklesshadow (talk) 18:53, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
For Adult Entertainment, we should have Jeff at a desk holding a phone and making a similar joke to the Rocko's Modern Life One on-One Hot Line. It would be funny because he is a frog. Hey! Frogs don't do that! (• USER TALK! •) 18:56, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Rocko would make a good employee there now that I think about it (• USER TALK! •) 21:53, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
we could have the censored ace as a new picture for the nsfw template. Sonictailsknucklesshadow (talk) 21:31, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
Needs to be something far more popular. These ideas are most certainly going to be workshopped before being implemented. (Lets chat!) 18:58, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
I'd pick a show that's influential in pop culture, like All in the Family or The Simpsons. · Talk · Edits 19:04, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
spongebob? Sonictailsknucklesshadow (talk) 21:17, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
Maybe a crudely drawn cartoon. Like a crudely drawn SpongeBob or Family Guy (• USER TALK! •) 22:27, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
As a Sonic fan, should've been SatAM (The Third Place) 19:19, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
Sonic Prime: The only sonic cartoon I ever both watched and cared for. (• USER TALK! •) 02:53, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

 Comment: I have a far better way to go about this.

  • Film: Ace, Vivi and Jeff in a movie theater.
  • Television: Ace, Vivi and Jeff on a couch watching TV, ala The Simpsons.
  • Home Entertainment: The trio at a video rental store (think Blockbuster).
  • Adult entertainment: Ace sticking his head out from behind a red curtain, blushing.
  • Commercial: Ace with a park ranger hat and shovel, pointing at viewer, Smokey Bear reference.
  • Online: The trio surfing on a keyboard, like those Internet guide drawings from the 90's.
  • Education: The trio attempting to teach a class.
  • Video Game: A pixelated Jeff attempting to cross the road, obvious Frogger reference.
  • Technology: Ace as a robot.
  • Station IDs: Ace as a news anchor for a network called "WAVD-7".
  • Television Bumpers: Wind-up toys of the trio, Boomerang reference.
  • Cinema: The trio trying to work a 35mm film projector.
  • Film Rating: The trio wearing pins with MPA ratings on them, inspired by the Check the Box PSA
  • Home Media Bumpers: The trio riding a VHS tape.
  • Startups: Ace's head in a Windows 95 bootscreen look-alike.
  • Logo Variations: Ace, Vivi and Jeff in different colors.

How's this sound?

Amazing! The alt color for Jeff should be red. (• USER TALK! •) 22:57, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
Also, If we do do the Blockbuster one, can you make a reference to WorldVision somewhere in it. That would be cool. (• USER TALK! •) 23:01, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
Also Also, if Anime Dubbings passes, we should have the trio as Final Fantasy characters. With Ace having Cloud's hair and sword, and Jeff having Sephiroth's hair and black angel wing. I know next to nothing about Final Fantasy's female cast, so you can go nuts with Vivi. (• USER TALK! •) 23:06, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
Along with that, for corporate, we could have Jeff wearing a suit and holding a briefcase, saying :"Stonks." And if Stolen Content passes, we could have Vivi chasing a robber (he robbed the audio visual bank, see what I did there?) Sonictailsknucklesshadow (talk) 07:30, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
Stolen content already exists, see Logos With Content From Other Logos. (Lets chat!) 15:23, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
It sound OK but I still prefer mine. No offence. Sonictailsknucklesshadow (talk) 07:16, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
No offense Sonictailsknucklesshadow, but this and the Oppose reason for WBITV (With AOL byline and extended) makes you seem really... self-centered. (• USER TALK! •) 13:36, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
Sorry. I never meant it. Sonictailsknucklesshadow (talk) 18:20, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

 Comment: Vivi having a seizure sounds kind of...dark. Maybe have her holding a flashing block thing and covering her eyes. Also, you forgot the Anime Dubbing section, which I provided my idea above. (• USER TALK! •) 04:55, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

Nevermind that last part. We should have the mascots dressed as Final Fantasy characters. Ace as Cloud, Jeff as Sephiroth, and Vivi as, well, idk my final fantasy , go nuts. (• USER TALK! •) 04:57, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
Final Fantasy isn't an anime though, it's a video game franchise. I vote we dress them up as DBZ and make Jeff go Super Saiyan. AlmightyKingPrawn (talk) 07:47, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
How about we have Ace as Ash Ketchum (from Pokémon) throwing a PokéBall, Vivi as Misty and Jeff as Brock in the style of this Pokémon VHS: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/angry-grandpas-media-library/images/b/b8/S-l1600_%2847%29.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20200625191643. Just add Jeff anywhere (I know Pokémon is a video game series, but it is also an anime.) Sonictailsknucklesshadow (talk) 09:57, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

Well, FF is close enough to anime.
I guess either Dragon Ball or Naruto (• USER TALK! •) 19:15, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
