Forum:Question about the Edison Manufacturing Company logo

Hey. I have a question about the 1894 Edison Manufacturing Company logo. Since the logo I mentioned is technically older than the Star Film Company logo from circa 1896, I was planning to add them to these three pages, but I stopped because of a problem that is already obvious when you see the logo yourself. As you can see in these images, this logo seems more to be over the film's title card, which makes me want to ask whether or not this logo can be considered in-credit, on-screen, or something else. Additionally, I realized that the oldest logos page uses country flags from back when the logos were introduced, and not the current flags. You can see this by how the 1907 Vitagraph Studios and Kalem Company logos both use the 1896 flag of the United States. This would mean that if the 1894 Edison Manufacturing Company logo was added, it would use the 1891 flag of the United States, but I'm not sure whether or not it is currently uploaded to AVID. If it isn't uploaded, then I don't even know how to import an image from Wikimedia Commons to AVID, so perhaps someone could help me with that too. |

To address your question, the intention behind the pages was to showcase the oldest logos that are either standalone or in-credit. In this context, the logo in question falls into the latter category. Standalone logos refer to those presented on their own slide or as a separate sequence, rather than part of other logos or credits within a piece of media. Additionally, it's important to note that the country flags featured in those articles are sourced directly from not AVID but Wikimedia Commons where they are embedded as".svg" files. To show what I mean, when you view the flag image on the oldest logos articles, you may observe that the icon displayed on the "More details" button differs from the icons associated with logo files. |
