Make a statement in support of the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike
Hollywood as we know it is under threat. Stuff like AI and lack of streaming residuals paints an awful future for all of the artists that make movies great. As a site that catalogs the logos of a lot of these corporations being striked against, and may be seen as promoting them, I feel that a statement in support of the artists is the right thing to do. Otherwise, it will look like we are just a website advertising a bunch of giant corporations that are currently getting striked against, when I am sure we stand with the artists.

Abstain
Oppose
- Oppose It's a respectful act and all, but is ultimately irrelevant to the site's purpose. As I have stated on that other RFC, would anyone visit this site to hear us make a statement regarding real world events, let alone want us to? Also, how are we "promoting" or "advertising" these corporations? Camenati (talk) 03:34, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
- We are literally a website about corporate logos. AlmightyKingPrawn (talk) 05:03, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose, per Camenati. We only serve as an archive for logos, we do not actively endorse any of these companies, never have, and never will. Eternity Media Group (talk) 07:52, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose per others. And forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I don't recall Logopedia posting a statement about the strike either. Trevor807 (talk) 07:56, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Per everyone above, this really even doesn't make much sense at all to begin with. StudioLerex (talk) 7:55, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Uhhhhh no. Charlie179 (talk) 8:06, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose for a reason:

I'm sorry that all of my ideas are terrible. AlmightyKingPrawn (talk) 14:12, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
I really am, I'm sorry, that everything I've done as of late (wiki or otherwise) has made things actively worse. Someone please close this, I realize now that my idea sucked and was a knee-jerk reaction that is proof I shouldn't edit while having panic attacks (I was in the middle of one when I made this RFC, feeling this was the only thing I could do to "save the world" when in reality it was just stupid, especially as we list individual artists who make logos when we can already).
