Simplification of user groups
I think the abolition of the Board of Directors is a good opportunity to simplify the confusing user group structure to just six groups:


 * Administrators
 * Moderators
 * Confirmed users
 * Bots
 * Users
 * (all)

What are your thoughts on this? --Pingu (talk) 07:04, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Branding AVID
Now for the next discussion. We have a name, now we need to decide what AVID looks like. Below, I've compiled most of the ideas we have so far. Vote for your favorite! Like before, feel free to add any additional ideas. Also, apologies for some of the images being so enormous. Those ones are Discord media links and I couldn't fix the dimnensions.

 * 1)  The design flows really well (reminds me of 21 Laps all the time), and with the four colors intact, gives off a sense of professionalism and playfulness at the same time. Also, as with some other designs, this one is highly customizable too, and could be fit for any special occasions. PM pinter (talk) 00:16, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

 * 1)  As someone who wants to join the world of film and tv production, this logo makes me die inside. It's too reminicent of AVID technologies' logo and I personally cannot stand to use their software. It's so idiosyncratic and it's meant to be that way as it's supposed to keep novices out. It's meant for professionals and professionals only. This is coming from someone who is considered "AVID Certified". No dice. RalstonSullivanMarshall (talk) 00:27, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Not only is the logo really well-designed in my eyes, but the idea of maintaining that classic CLG background keeps a bit of the old while still feeling mostly new. This is honestly a win-win for me and I'd definitely love seeing it on the wiki. DannyTheMuppetMan 12:07, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

 * 1)  I know this logo is probably going to win, but I'm not gonna vote on it because one, I prefer (and also chose) Colorband's proposal and two, I'd hate to vote against a logo that went through a lot of trial and error but managed to come out looking good at the end.

In my honest opinion, this has been the only one that fully worked for me. --RalstonSullivanMarshall (talk) 00:16, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

 * 4)  This is really slick and timeless. AlmightyKingPrawn (talk)
 * 5) I support this design because it reminds me of the soon to be former CLG Wiki logo and I feel that as we move ahead into our new era, we should honour our history as a fan forum for closing logos, yet embrace our future as a database dedicated to the preservation of such logos.

 * 1)  Honestly, the icons look like they could've come from anywhere, and the first logo only symbolizes the A, which is literally half of "Audiovisual."
