AVID:Deprecated Features

Here at AVID our goal is to document as many company identities as possible. However, along the way, we have had to discontinue features or sections from our wiki. This page was made to document them all.

Editor's Note
The Editor's Note functioned as a more unbiased version of the scare/cheesy factors and was mandatory on all pages. It was debuted in 2018 as the replacement for those sections. However, when we rebranded to AVID, we did an RfC to rewrite a lot of rules and numerous RfCs to rename or decommission sections. The Editor's Note is now Legacy and is optional on pages.

Scare/Cheesy Factors
In the early days of AVID, we used what are called Scare Factors and Cheesy Factors. Scare Factors used a ranking system from Minimal to Nightmare and described frightening elements. The Cheesy Factors were used to describe outdated things in a logo, as well as errors and nitpicks. These sections were very opinionated and likely caused edit wars. Because it was opinionated, a vote was cast and these sections were merged into the Editor's Note, and that rebranded into Legacy.

Nicknames
Back in the day, there were nicknames used to make logos stand out. However, the nicknames became really stupid and unnecessary (with many of them not being used in the first place), and it got to the point where they were removed. Attempts to bring them back have failed. Some old nicknames were "Majestic Tower 16" or "Lilac". As seen, these are not good names for any logo whatsoever. Nicknames still exist, but only if official or well recognized. (i.e "Broadway" or "V of Doom")
