For a few months now, I've begun to notice more and more seemingly common logos showing up as "uncommon" or even "rare" - one example being PBS Kids prior to a revision I made at around 16:54 UTC. However, their only real basis for being in the lower availability tiers is they were on VHS tapes/DVDs from the 90s and early-mid 2000s - however, said releases are usually easy to find and don't go for much (aside from the late-life tapes, which usually have DVD equivalents anyway).

I've begun to think there's an over-prevalence of this type of common logos being mislabeled as uncommon/rare - and I have two different proposals:


 * 1) Ditch the "availability" tiers altogether and just place a short blurb on what types of material they are found on (the individual notes can stay or get removed on a case-by-case basis). Truly rare logos like TAT Communications and the like can be noted as such in the Editor's Note, of course.
 * 2) Make an active effort to standardize the tiers of availability - such as "rare" being can only appear on TV, appearing on only a couple of obscure 80s/90s VHS tapes that go for considerable money, etc.

You can choose which proposal you see fit - we'll see how this goes. Solarstrike (talk) 17:13, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
