So, with Matthew, Cezar, and other admins going to leave the wiki and start there own, we might need to change this entire wiki, since they might take the CLG Wiki name with them, and will might trademark it, leaving us to not use the name. People of CLG Wiki, think of ideas for continuing the wiki, since this wiki WILL NEVER DIE. |

The site should be renamed to the Production Logo Database (PLD). Unlike "Closing Logo Group", my suggestion is more broad and doesn't just cite this wiki as just a group full of like-minded individuals, but a community of logo enthusiasts who discover and preserve both opening and closing logos from various types of mediums. And these type of logos are centered around a type of production, developing not just movies and TV shows, but also video games, technology, among others. Additionally, this site is a database of logos around the world after all. What do you all think? I'll might come up with other names but I'll be glad to see some of your suggestions. |

A suggestion I have is to remove the nicknames and editor's notes options and replace them with something else. Saying that in response to the closure of Qualitipedia. We do not allow any bias and opinions for what I care. Since I have been on this version of the wiki since its beginning, I may get a promotion but who knows. |

heres my idea for the future 1. Have a new Board Of Directors (BOD). 2. Rename the wiki to the Logobase Wiki (Logobase being a merge between Logo and Database) 3. Move this wiki from Mirahaze to our own MediaWiki server. 4. Have a contest for a new logo. 5. Refocus the wiki towards logo fans and have a more non-toxic community. 6. Start a YouTube channel that explains about logos, (simillar to Wikizilla). |

I agree with Camenati, perhaps Production Logo and Ident Database (PLID). we probably need a new color theme as well. No more red, green, and blue. And I also agree with Max's idea about our own YT channel. |

Rename the wiki to the Logobase Wiki (Logobase being a merge between Logo and Database) Logo Database would work, but it'll need a logo change if this brand name's going into effect. They are good names for their simplicity. However, I think simply calling that might be too broad and sounds more like an expanded version of Logopedia. The former in particular, sounds too similar to Logopedia and there's already a website called "Logobase". But that's just my opinion. Logohub's suggestion works very well in my book. Maybe too lengthy but it's more specific, I guess. Nevertheless, they are all concise names. |

I really like the idea of renaming to the Production Logo Database, it feels more intellectual and orderly (not to mention it suggests more than just closing logos) than the Closing Logos Group name, that plus we won't have that stink that has plagued the CLG name in recent years (y'know, people like DLC, Shadeed, Supermarty, Claster). I disagree on the idea of there being a new board of directors though, we're still washing the sour taste of the old BoD out of our mouths. I think the ranking between leading bureaucrats and site administrators is good enough, feels modern. Final suggestion I propose is to start a new Discord server for this wiki. The old one became Ethan's new server (and I don't have a problem with that, absolutely justified on his end), and even if we still had official affiliation with it, it'd still have five+ years of CLG drama and baggage. Having a fresh, new server and having it be extremely focused on the wiki (basically the old server without 90% of the goofing-off channels) would really help the new userbase communicate and grow. also Max you shouldn't be on here. having a 12 year old on a site that enforces COPPA no matter what country you're in is not a good look for us |

On discord the name “Audio Visual Identity Database” (AVID) has been suggested. I like it actually. It’s modern and the acronym sums us up as a community. I kinda like the idea of an AVID YouTube channel too. It would bring us in line with the likes of TVArk and similar sites too |

AVID sounds great. I think we should drop the "Closing Logos" moniker since this wiki is now about production logos and idents in general. During the KRS/early Wetpaint days it was mostly about closing logos, but times have changed. |

I also have a idea for lowering the age reqiurement to 12, since i am 12 myself British law requires Miraheze to only allow users over 13 to use the service. Whether you're Canadian, Australian, or American is irrelevant as the only law that applies to all Miraheze wikis is British law. While COPPA isn't a thing in the British system, you still must be over 13. |

Oh boy, where do I start. "We might need to change this entire wiki, since they might take the CLG Wiki name with them, and will might trademark it, leaving us to not use the name." Maybe we could "rename the wiki to the Logobase Wiki" and "have a contest for a new logo." If these guys can't even run a wiki properly, I don't think they can get the necessary funds to trademark ALL of the likenesses, logos and names needed. That would cost about as much as buying the original domain back, which is now up for sale, 4000 something dollars. Get it before GoDaddy gets it and does some cybersquatting shenanigans. Other than that, if they do manage to get the legal proof that they officially own all of CLG and its names and whatever, only then can we rebrand. I don't believe in scaremongering, I never did. I've been known to call people's bluffs before, and that's how I've overthrown two wiki owners over the history of a single wiki (does "Ootwar", "Dream Logos Wiki" or "Laser Pikachus" ring a bell?), so I do believe I am to be trusted with this advice. On that note.... '"The site should be renamed to the Production Logo Database (PLD). Unlike "Closing Logo Group", my suggestion is more broad and doesn't just cite this wiki as just a group full of like-minded individuals, but a community of logo enthusiasts who discover and preserve both opening and closing logos from various types of mediums. And these type of logos are centered around a type of production, developing not just movies and TV shows, but also video games, technology, among others. Additionally, this site is a database of logos around the world after all. What do you all think?" I like it, and it makes more sense both contextually and in grammar. But the Closing Logo Group name has been known for ages, so to simply discard it because it cites the wiki as "just a group full of like-minded individuals" sounds a little petty, to say the least. But, if we do end up rebranding (again, only if Stephen has legal proof that he owns anything related to CLG), I agree with the decision to rename it to something with the word "Database" in the name. Moving on... "Have a new Board of Directors (BOD)." While I do agree with the idea of forming a centralized admin group for this wiki, I would not go with the same direction of "oh, let's just make a board of directors". What we need is a parliament, a constantly changing group of people selected by and representing the community. To keep the community here going, we could set a roadmap and select how often we should pick new members into this "parliament". Say, every year or two, we have an election and those who feel responsible enough to be admins can step up to be nominated. We do some bracket-based electing, and whoever has the most votes in the end (whether it's the final two, five, or even the finalist by itself) gets to join this new admin group. That way, we can ensure trust and interdependency between the community and the admins, and not leave the wiki to dry out with the constant infighting at the board and no community participation whatsoever. "Refocus the wiki towards logo fans and have a more non-toxic community." As much as I respect such ambitions, I have to warn you: kids suck. Kids are evil, they can do whatever they want and get away with very little, because they are regarded as minors. I should know, I was one. So to trust newer and younger members of the logo community to not cause toxic drama is going to be a little bit of a difficult job. Hell, this actually kind of extends to humans as a whole. We tend to cause drama for either of two reasons: one, people need to know the seriousness of a situation and also credit the dramastarter as a hero or whoever highly-regarded character they want to be seen as; and two, because they're bored and want to cause a scene. If Matthew, who's probably twenty- or thirty-something, can't help himself from spitting malicious nonsense and acting in a way that everyone disapproves, it's going to be hard to trust anyone to keep the community "non-toxic". So, my advice is this: do not just say "don't bully", specify what the bullying is, tell them about possible emotional effects on certain activities. Teach them to be sensitive. "Start a YouTube channel that explains about logos." I do like this plan, allow the wiki to expand its presence and bring in more people who are interested. I've even spotted Neil Cicierega talking about CLG Wiki and its sidewiki CLG Wiki Dream Logos; so this plan sounds great. However, I do have to inform you that the logo explanation format (which essentially would likely work out as Lessons in Meme Culture but for logos) is oversaturated. There are lots of people talking about logo histories, scary logos, I've even seen one read right off one of the pages in this wiki. So, a better plan would be to have a showcase channel with a little series on explaining the logos, and to gather the best people who do this stuff, into this project. They are doing this for free anyway, companies don't like it when you get to talk about something they do and make money off it on YouTube. "A suggestion I have is to remove the nicknames and editor's notes options and replace them with something else. We do not allow any bias and opinions for what I care." I do sort of agree, having bias in an informational database is not that good of an idea. But the nicknames, I think, are there to help as a sort-of synonym dictionary for those who do not know the exact name of either the company or the logo itself. Editor's notes, while, again, could risk bias, could serve as a notebook for additional context, like who made the logo, what special reaction it got, etc etc. "I also have a idea for lowering the age reqiurement to 12, since i am 12 myself." Your family is gonna be in soooo much trouble with the U.S. government... or the Canadian one, sure. But most internet... things are based in the U.S., so COPPA applies here as much as, say, the GDPR. "Final suggestion I propose is to start a new Discord server for this wiki." A close friend of mine already did (@NancerCLG). Ask about it in the... well, previously affiliated Discord server if you're still there. "I think you guys are forgetting the obvious solution... "Company Logos Group"" You, sir, are a genius. Take my keys and screw my wife. Alright, that's about all my comments for this thread. I hope we can come back from this nearly, if not completely, unscathed. |

I actually dislike the "AVID" name. It's too lengthy, complicated, and doesn't describe the purpose of this site too well. "Audiovisual" points to both sound and visual. There are many logos that have no music or sound. Not to mention it also represents electronic media, which doesn't just define film, television, and video games, but also slide-tape presentations, church services, and live theater productions, none of which aren't related to production logos. "Identity" makes the acronym feel jumbled up and just doesn't feel like a good word to describe logos. "Audiovisual", alongside "Identity", seems to focus more on electronics and what components do they have rather than logos. I think you guys are forgetting the obvious solution... "Company Logos Group" Meanwhile, I really like this name, even if the acronym is basically the same thing. |

Production Logos Wiki (PLW, pronounced Pelaw as in a suburb in Newcastle-upon-Tyne)? I like that name. Should we move all of these suggestions and put them into options? This is similar to how we vote on what the future of the BoD should be with sections to support, oppose, or make comments. That way, it is easier to determine which suggestion is the most popular and agreed upon. |

I would say PLW works fine, but I was also considering 'Miraheze Logo Company' or 'Miraheze Logo Wiki'. I'd personally have to say no on "Company Logos Group", since that abbreviates to CLG and that is obviously already taken. As for the age-lowering, absolutely not. The United States has the COPPA act that enforces users to be 13 and older, and Britain (where Miraheze is based in) has their own similar law. While Miraheze is only covered by the British law, technically COPPA also is in effect on websites with American users or primarily centers on American users/content. I know there's logo fans out there who are younger than that, but we literally can't lower the age requirement. |

I guess you can call me the Benjamin Franklin of this wiki, because along with Snelfu, who's been around for a quite bit longer than I have, I'm one of few as far as I can remember to have been with the wiki from its earliest days, having joined about a couple of years or so after becoming a member of the CLG during the dark days of the DLC era. Or maybe Snelfu would be better befitting the "Benjamin Franklin" title? Anyway, in the likely event we have to undergo a total rebrand, I'd like to volunteer to design the new logo, no matter what the branding is ultimately. |

Hey. (This is my first post here, I don't really know the tips and tricks of this forum, be gentle please.) Here are my general two cents as a casual lurker who's been coming since the WikiFoundry days. I wouldn't say we would need to start from scratch, but rather just restructure things. Pingu's PLW suggestion for example is a really nice change, possibly could breathe some new life into the site. But for me, I feel the most important thing that this new theoretical CLG Wiki would need is just general upkeep. One of the major things I noticed was a problem, was just the general abandonment on a good chunk of pages, ones where every line of the description is just "TBA", if it even had a description, or even a video or a picture to go off of. While I understand that there are a lot of logos to cover, not everything can be done to the level of articulation of things like the major film logos. But making pages dedicated to logos with little or no actual work put into them feels pointless in the grand scheme of things. Still better than the WikiFoundry days. (insert Grampa Simpson image here) Back in my day, you had to use WikiFoundry's garbage search function to even try to find the Variation pages, and they weren't even connected to the logos they were based off of. This site's made leaps and bounds since the WikiFoundry years, but I think we shouldn't stop improving. I think the whole idea of making this site more organized and professional will really help in the long run. Please correct me if I made any inaccuracies. |

I also support Pingu's suggestion, but which one best suits this site? A production logo database or a wiki? Since mine and Pingu's suggestions are similar with my option containing the former word. And you're not alone about this "abandonment of pages" because this has been a serious issue for years. It should definitely be something that requires stricter guidance in this new era. Many people think creating blank pages and adding in logos without describing anything is perfectly fine when that just makes the site and the community look lazy, not to mention underwhelming its readers and editors trying to help out. |

As for the database vs wiki thing, either sound good, but wiki feels more accurate, as a database is mainly meant for hard numbers and stats, which is something of an abstract term when looking at logos. For the latter point, hard agree. I know this community is ultra-niche, and that there aren't enough editors to be keeping up with all these logos, especially considering the expansion into tech, games, TV, etc. in the past years, and the ever-growing entertainment economy, but I'd rather this wiki have less, but more detailed pages than more, far lazier and broader ones. I think what's also needed to just keep everyone on the same page is a style guide, of sorts. Mainly because I notice certain pages having some things that others don't. For example, the Warner Bros. page has all its videos in a drop-down section for the 11th logo, but I don't really see this much else. The THX page has embedded hyperlinks for special variants, but this only happens for a couple variants on the page, as some other special THX variants are not hyperlinked, but rather grouped in with the rest of the videos. But as for the "too many pages, too little editors" problem, they do say "be the change you want to see in the world", so I want to at least make an attempt to become more active here, trying to tidy up some pages of sorts. I'm assuming the Discord server (I joined for a short while back in June) is the "former" server, going off of the drama, so I'll wait for something else before really trying to reach out to the greater community. If need be, I don't mind talking in DMs, but I'm beginning to get a little off-topic here, so I'll leave it at that. |

Actually, there's also a possibility to keep the "CLG Wiki" name since only "Closing Logos Group" was trademarked after all (and the trademark has expired over a year ago anyway). However, I also liked the idea of replacing "Closing" with "Company". I mean, this wiki isn't only about closing logos since a long time ago. It currently reflects other COMPANY logos as well. |

With the BoD gone, maybe we could revive this idea? Particularly given it was Matt who unilaterally shut it down even as we were in the process of implementing it.

"Company Logos Group" to me sounds too general IMO. Since this wiki is only about production logos and IDs. I think Pingu's idea is nice. "PLW" or "PLID Wiki" (Production Logos and IDents Wiki) or something. Or perhaps "prodlogid"? "prodlog wiki"? |

"I'd personally have to say no on "Company Logos Group", since that abbreviates to CLG and that is obviously already taken." That's the point. By keeping the name as "CLG" we don't have to completely overhaul the site's branding (although I will say that a rebrand using the CLG name is in the works). Plus... MANY other companies have used the acronym "CLG", I think we're fine. |

I really like the idea of AVID, definitely hope we go with that. EDIT: Also on board with "PLW". As for the "Editors Note" stuff, I agree that it should be removed on the main page. The nicknames can stay, as they don't really reference opinions, but maybe only choose a couple of popular ones. I.e., Viacom's 2nd Logo is pretty much exclusively called the "V" or "V of Doom", I have never seen it called "That V" before (correct me if I'm wrong). If there are no known Nicknames for a logo, then just omit it. The Editors Note/Community Opinions could be moved to a discussion board under the page. One thing I used to really like about the WikiFoundry site, and one thing I wish this site would have, is the forum-style discussion boards under each page that were easy to reply to (i.e., there was a text box under each thread where you could simply write your own reply and hit send, the way Miraheze does it currently seems a little un-neccesarily complex, but I haven't used this site often recently so I may have missed something). I don't know how easy that would be to implement, but since there are Miraheze stewards on there, I would like to ask about how doable it is. I also think the Community Opinions board could be a good way to potentially re-introduce the Cheesy Factor, since the only reason that was removed was because "it's a community opinion", and I agree with that. It definitely shouldn't be there with the logo's information but having it under a Community Opinions board would allow users to build rapport with one another on the site itself, rather than on an external platform such as Discord, and keeps community discussion about recent sightings of particular rare logos, logo hunting efforts, etc, all centralised and easily accessible. We've been saying this quite a lot for the last few days - we're a community, and not a business! IMO, looking friendly and welcoming is key for this next chapter. We definitely should strive to look professional, absolutely, but this sites target audience and primary userbase are logo fans just like us. I feel like having some kind of community aspect is a must on this site going forward, and how it's executed should be a big talking point so we can strike the right balance between professionalism and a warm, friendly community. |

I cast my non-existent vote on AVID. It actually describes this place better than "CLG Wiki", as that sounds like a wiki for the Yahoo Closing Logo Group. Take our old friend "Lost Media Wiki" as an example, as you know, it's a website that documents the backstory and efforts to find pieces of lost media, so that name makes sense. Audio Visual Identity Database would be fitting, as we are a database for audio visual identities for a variety of companies, of course. Please go with that name, I would be extremely happy if it goes through. |

I would go with either AVID or PLW, as these names show we cover more than just "closing logos", and it helps us get away from all the bad things the CLG name is associated with. I'd go either way on the Youtube Channel idea. Sure, it would be up there with the big guys in logo content (like Pepsi9072/Logicsmash), but I'm not sure how often we'd upload and WHAT we'd upload. I'm sure we'll figure it out as the channel evolves. And as a casual wiki viewer since around 2015, we are NOT lowering the age limit. Those Coppa and Miraheze laws exist for a reason.

I agree with Pantsmode's Parliament idea for the Wiki and its leadership, and also agree with HB's idea to bring back the infobox and description at the top of pages. It would establish better flow and allow for a rest-pit between clicking on a page and getting to the logos and can add context to a company's logo changes. As the creator as the AVID name (known as AzureVelocity on Discord), I admittedly came up with the name in the middle of the night, tired and about to go to bed. I didn't intend it to be the name to be used as the replacement for CLG. I still think sticking with CLG (both Company Logos Group and Closing Logos Group) could present issues, mainly in the bad times of CLG, as well as possible issues with the former Board over the CLG's name, logo, and identity being used by a community they see as a knockoff product. I like Camenati's idea for the name (Production Logo Database), but also think that it could exclude idents and other identifying vanity cards and the like, and a new name should be inclusive. The problem is that finding such a name is difficult. I don't have all the answers, I tried coming up with alternatives, but maybe this one can stick. Motion Logo and Ident Archive (MLIA) or Motion Logo and Ident Database (MLID), given the primary focus of this wiki is motion logos and idents. |

Example: (T.A.T. Communications Company) Legacy: This logo is notorious within the logo community for it's extreme rarity and multiple hoax findings. Short and sweet. Straight to the point.

While we're on the topic of changes to the page layout, Hb1290's info bar idea is an amazing idea that is a big step up from a layout which was almost the same since KRS Logos was created. Also, separating captures and videos is a viable option for logos with multiple captures and/or videos, and can reduce clutter. As for removing nicknames, if a logo has been referred to a nickname by the community as a whole (i.e. Viacom's "V of Doom"), we can keep those nicknames on the page. Have you ever heard someone call the 1976 Viacom logo "That V" before? |

I've always disliked unofficial Nicknames, and I agree that they should be significantly cut back. Official logo names (eg THX and Dolby; some of the ones I've found myself like the Filmnation logos being "Funbursts" and the creature in one of the Rainbow S.p.A. logos being The Rainbow Maker) can stay where they are, but we should change it from "Nickname" to just "Name" or "Official Name". Popular Nicknames, such as V of Doom, S From Hell, and Canadians referring to the CBC logo as the Exploding Pizza, can be mentioned in the Editor's Note. I have no issues with the Editor's Note system. To get an idea of how bad the Nickname situation has gotten, look at all the questionable ones I cut from Walt Disney Pictures the other day, and look at the giant walls of Nicknames that still remain. I wanted to cut more than that, but I didn't want to look like a vandal, y'know. And I strongly support company infoboxes. The brief time we did try to roll them out before they were abruptly stopped I really liked the idea, and I was upset when Matthew Mayfield forced us out of it. |

Contributing to the unofficial nickname talk, if sound system trailers have an official nickname (i.e. Broadway, Stand Alone, City), it should be the only nickname for it. I can't tell you how many times people still refer to the aforementioned DTS trailer as "The Digital Experience", despite recently discovered to not be the official name, that'd be like if I started calling Broadway "The Audience is Listening". On a side note, the editor's notes could remain on certain logos (i.e. the 1999 Sega Films logo), in which case, my proposed "Legacy" section could take it's original role, since some editor's notes are just reworks of the original scare/cheesy factors, in fact, some pages actually RETAIN the factors. |

Returning to the topic of my proposed "Legacy" section, it would make more sense if it were under the Editor's Notes, similar to the "Quality Control" section (see 3-G Home Video). Example: (20th Century Pictures) Editor's Note: ・Legacy: This is well known for being the predecessor to one of the most well-known film logos of all time. |

If we do AVD (Audio Visual Database) as the name over the identity one as suggested, I was thinking the wiki should cover more than just logos, covering further analysis of any "media" how they were developed like we're doing we logos under the current brand, and first used, including Sesame Street segments (not counting Street scenes, like Transylvania 12345 shot at the Birdland), for example, the segment with Elmo demonstrating vertical directions (the one written by Sonia Manzano) on a purple gradient background where he finds himself upside down on the top of the screen angle, which then lets go of the bars hanging him so he could drop himself, and accidentally hits a piano on land injured, then faints afterwards. EDIT: Here's how the layout would be as to the reference from what I stated.  |

No. That is too broad and makes the purpose of the site unclear and all over the place. The way you proposed that articles on sketches should be on the site makes it confusing, especially with this new version excluding live-action sketches for some reason. In other words, these exceptions will be very vague. Not to mention, including media like sketches will not complement the established format of this site too well. And besides, other wikis have done articles on these pieces of media before so why visit this site when you can go to the Muppet Wiki to read information about it? |

Here are further ideas for the new and improved Editor's Notes. There should be 4 categories for these new Editor's Notes. General (i.e. Sega Films), the previously talked about Legacy, Quality Control (i.e. 3-G Home Video), and Missing-in-Action, which summarizes attempts to find a certain logo (i.e. DTS Waterdrop or TAT Communications). And of course, they have to be less biased than the original Editor's Notes, and to an extent, the Scare/Cheesy Factors (Cheesy Factors were included alongside Scare Factors as some logos were deemed cheesy for seemingly no reason, like the 1992 Central Park Media logo). |

How about a middle ground? TV show segments may be too much, but I feel that commercial logos and main-on-end film titles (like what they show at the end of some films before the credits to state the name of the movie you just watched) fit the scope of the wiki. They too are audiovisual design. The latter are even frequently made by the same design studios (eg Devastudios, Imaginary Forces, Filmograph) as film logos are. |

Okay... my first time on this wiki, and I've been convinced to put my logo idea for AVID on the wiki itself. My logo idea is actually going to come in three versions. Here's the first version, which would be used when set on light-colored backgrounds (like white, for example):  Next, the second version, which would be used when set on a cream-colored background:  And finally, the third version, which would be used on dark-colored backgrounds:  Speaking of, I initially supported orange and gold at first, but I decided on a different color palette that I think could be used, like cream and brown (black and white could be used as secondary colors). Anyway, what do you think of my logo idea itself? |

Miraheze is not interested in processing minor's data so even if you do have consent from your parents, you aren't allowed on. The laws for processing minors data are too much and there's no benefit for Miraheze to have to go through hoops just because someone under 13 wants to use the service. |

...figured I'd submit my take on AVID. it's based around lines and stuff and uses "partially complete" triangles to simulate the "A" and "V". A tidbit: I had to use my photo editing software's guide feature to make the triangles with a brush tool since trying to do such without guides results in a triangle with the wrong proportions or longer on one side.
I legit tried for a clean-like look with minimal clutter, as well as still being.... flat. Ehhh I dunno lol. -- Also, because I might get accusations of plagiarism... I didn't know of Cassie's work before replying. I didn't see her work until I visited this page to reply with my own design. I might get MASSIVE amounts of hate sent my way simply because of similarities between mine and Cassie's work. If I truly did plagiarize, I'm sorry. Still though, I did not know of Cassie's work until now. I'm just throwing this out there. This was originally posted to ENunn's server at around 10PM, long before I heard of Cassie's work. Even then, I'll probably get heat for plagiarism. Just throwing this out there. |

If the AVID rebrand goes through, we should bring back commercial logos under THIS wiki rather than a separate wiki, with the obvious reason being the name.

My other ideas: I like the "Logobase" idea, but we should just extend it to "The Production Logobase" (TPL). Merging the Company Bumpers and the now-defunct Dream Logos Wiki into the Logobase wiki. Bring back the Cheesy and Scare Factors (as Cheesy Elements and Scare Factors). Like with Logopedia, we should have print descriptions for logos not sourced from movies, shows nor games (like resterants and stores). The main colours should be like CYMK (Cyan, Magenta and Yellow) (Colourblocks leaks made me taught this) The poster at the top should all be famous currently-used logos (like the 2022 Disney logo, the 2012 Paramount logo and the 2021 Warner Bros. Pictures logo). AVID almost sounds like AVOID as in AVOID THIS WIKI. |

I'll might ditch The Production Logobase and just stick with the AVID idea. We also should have the custom URL back (call it "avid.org"). Maybe also we should merge the Company Bumpers, Dream Logos (now gone) and a few other wikis with this wiki. Logos like Universal Pictures and Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures should have both the "Fan Made" and the "Fan Made Variations" subsections. A Clip-On library for each home entertainment company (like Walt Disney with it's Coming Soon, Now Available, Feature Presentation and Sneak Peeks Menu) instead of seperate pages. Spam edits from official logos will be moved to either Fan Made sections while we should change the CYM (used for CN) into other ones. Let's also bring back the templates and cover other media other than logos (like the Sesame Street segments). |

That doesn't make any sense. A cheap Y2K logo does not fit the massive database of unique logos from several decades.

*Merge Company Bumpers back into this wiki. My reasoning is because: A bit wary of enabling comments on articles TBH, just seems like a place where we'll end up dealing with spam and other crap more often than not Agree with the nickname limits. I was reading an article the other day (can't remember which one) and there were two lines worth of nicknames for every logo, like do we really need that many? Legacy is definitely a better name for that part than Editor's Note. It more clearly conveys the point of the thing, whereas Editor's Note is kind of vague in what it's meant to be and doesn't really fit in a community-built wiki with lots of editors as opposed to just one. We should also make a rule that says "Legacy" should not be added to a description if there's nothing to say in that section. So many articles just have "Editor's Note: None" and it's kind of dumb and pointless. |

Another thing we should do is encourage writing descriptions further, since some pages are about as incomplete as Yandere Simulator, and few are just straight up blank. A good example is AMC Theaters, some logos have descriptions and others have "TBA", so if we need to compete against Matthew's CLG (which I bet will definitely have incomplete pages), we need to work together and write more descriptions. |

A good example is AMC Theaters, some logos have descriptions and others have "TBA", so if we need to compete against Matthew's CLG (which I bet will definitely have incomplete pages), we need to work together and write more descriptions. One more change for the new era: a switch from mw:Extension:YouTube to mw:Extension:EmbedVideo. Logohub and I tried and failed to do it ages back because we had trouble getting it to behave how we wanted. Well, now I've got it working over on CB: https://companybumpers.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:YouTube2 This new version of the template will give us the ability to timestamp videos, which doesn't work properly currently, and it will allow us finally to caption embeds much the same way as images and directly uploaded videos! Plus, this basic template format will allow us to bring back proper Vimeo embeds, which we haven't had since Widgets got disabled, plus embeds for Dailymotion, archive.org and even more that we've never had the ability to use properly before. I like, I like. |

Ah, so EmbedVideo is finally working as intended. 😊 We should definitely convert to EV. Now for the CB merge and reintroducing commercial logos and startup screens etc., I think we should restructure our site sections. So:
And a separate "logo variations" and "print logos" portal. What do you think? I think all of these fit the "audiovisual identity" name. |

I think they could work. |

No... just no. Alright pal, lets see your ideas. None? Then hush. AVIDBlox? Basically Your logo ideas are very childish. NAH FR??? Yeah, I'll pass. AVID ain't one of those late 1990s-early 2000s sites that tried to "be hip" and "with it" with the kids. Everything you just said didn't make sense. Yeah. This site ain't Club Penguin. -1000 IQ simply because you sound like I didn't know. I hate those dumb fonts all of you are saying "OOHH" and "AAAAAH" to. I see this site as a bouncy light hearted community and not a "lOgO dAtAbAsE". Let me make my bouncy light hearted logos in peace. |

No offense, but if I were you I'd act a bit differently. Alright pal, lets see your ideas. None? Then hush. Nancer does have some pretty decent logos. |

I'm just saying, refusing to take constructive criticism won't get you anywhere. Now let's move on and avoid derailing this thread. |

Here we have my 4th AVID logo idea.
Stacked on each other, this is in the Krabby Patty font. One thing we could possibly get behind is a mascot for the wiki. Here we got mascot Jeff the Tree Frog. I originally had him holding the letters, but that looked clunky, so I put a green rectangle on the letters and had him hold that. BTW, if anyone says "the logos look low quality" it's because I use Paint 3D because I'm too broke for Photoshop. |

Here we have my 4th AVID logo idea. Gonna be honest here, this logo doesn't suit the wiki imo. This looks more like a logo you'd see on a children's site about animals and not a logo wiki. |

Unrelated to the horrid logo but I'm just gonna drop this here. https://www.fontspace.com/spongeboytt1-font-f29761 One thing we could possibly get behind is a mascot for the wiki. Hmm, ya know? A mascot might just work. Maybe it could be a cute arrangement of geometric sha- Here we got mascot Jeff the Tree Frog. ...how does that match logos at all?! I originally had him holding the letters, but that looked clunky, so I put a green rectangle on the letters and had him hold that. Still looks clunky no matter what BTW, if anyone says "the logos look low quality" it's because I use Paint 3D because I'm too broke for Photoshop. Kid named piracy: But seriously, oversimplification is not real and these logos only make the website look childish. Please stop. |

Alrighty, after further consult from the Discord server, may I present... the final revision of my AVID logo concept and its trusty icon!
Woah... what happened here? Ah, why do I need to say that? I don't care. |

On the topic of mascots, I personally think Puz should draw some concepts for an AVID mascot, since he is a pretty good artist. If the Lost Media Wiki has LMW-tan, then the Audio Visual Identity Database gets (insert mascot name here). |

Greetings - longtime site browser here. Finally made an account earlier today- On the topic of mascots, I personally think Puz should draw some concepts for an AVID mascot, since he is a pretty good artist. If the Lost Media Wiki has LMW-tan, then the Audio Visual Identity Database gets (insert mascot name here). I'm totally behind that??? The site getting its own mascot would be pretty cool- |

If the Lost Media Wiki has LMW-tan, then the Audio Visual Identity Database gets (insert mascot name here). I'll do it once we actually decide a logo. If you want me to start early, by the looks of it we're gonna pick the two line logo by pudsp, so I'll base it off of that. Rest assured anything I come up with will be MILES better than "Jeff the Tree Frog" lol |
