Show/film intros, openings/endings, and show-specific breakbumpers/eyecatches
This was suggested by logoarto in the Discord server. I am currently unsure of this to be honest, but a couple of other people seem to favor this. Gilby1385 (talk) 20:18, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
Elaborating my proposal, I'm proposing title sequences to be included on the wiki because:
- These sequences are considered audiovisual identities and graphic design, which are already well covered in other areas within this wiki;
- Since we already have news intros on this wiki, we could introduce these as well;
- We technically already described a few show intros before:
- we used to have pages for Looney Tunes and Mickey Mouse during the WF era
- The Neon Mickey WDHV logo is technically a show intro for The Wonderful World of Walt Disney (then simply known as Walt Disney)
Now before you say "they're not corporate identity", well warning screens and test cards aren't corporate identity either! But they do count as graphic identities, and film titles do fall under that as well. For example, the Star Wars opening sequence has become so iconic that it becomes a "brand" of the franchise itself. They're also considered graphic design: in fact many title sequences were designed by a specific branch of graphic designers called "title designers".
I'm proposing them to be categorized as "title sequences" to both include opening title sequences/intros and closing title sequences. Notice the emphasis on "sequences": normal scrolling credits won't be included as they are not graphic identity.
And by including title sequences, I'm also proposing the inclusion of show-specific break bumpers (in Japan better known as eyecatches). I mean we already have regular break bumpers on this wiki right?
And for the issue that it will be too long or detailed, my idea is that for title sequences, you dont have to go into great detail like youre describing a production logo. However, the part where the title appears, that's where you may get into detail. You can also split them into separate scenes.
Here are demos I and Gilby made:
I would like to hear your opinions on this. Thanks Logoarto (talk) 16:30, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
