* [[Electronic Arts]], [[High Score Entertainment]] and [[Visual Concepts]] (''Viewpoint'' variant). I find the logo transitions to be very clever.

* [[Class Video]]. This is as dull as a school assembly.

Notes

  1. ↑ Fake logo by the infamous Supermarty-O.
  2. ↑ Was determined to not be a logo, rather a thank-you credit.
  3. ↑ The old name sounded vague and was mistaken for a personal opinions section.
  4. ↑ Was often used for abridged descriptions of logos. The new name reflects its use better.
  5. ↑ Was determined to be unnecessary, alongside the "Remembers" section.
  6. ↑ Too opinionated for the wiki, plus it was giving it a bad reputation as a whole.
  7. ↑ Merged into AVID due to inactivity.
  8. ↑ Inactive spin-off wiki that was not well liked by users.
  9. ↑ Mascot that was created by a banned user, in addition, he was deemed to be unnecessary compared to Ace and Vivi.
  10. ↑ Was too opinionated and informal for the wiki, alongside the nicknames often not being notable. Official nicknames are now in page headers while notable fan nicknames are now covered in "Trivia" and "Legacy".
  11. ↑ Was deemed redundant to Logopedia.
  12. ↑ Was determined to be unnecessary, alongside the "Anniversaries" section. Recent deaths of celebrities are now covered in the "#entertainment-memorial" section of the Discord.
  13. ↑ Too opinionated for the wiki, plus it was giving it a bad reputation as a whole.
  14. ↑ Was underused and clogged up the search engine.
  15. ↑ AVID's original host, it gained scrutiny from its users for its aging layout, its server outages and the apathy of its founder, which ended up being major factors for its move to Miraheze.
