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.

Scare Factor/Cheesy Factor
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 The Cheesy Factors were used to describe outdated things in a logo, as well as errors and nitpicks.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 were more often written in a rant-style manner. After a vote was cast, these sections were merged into the Editor's Note.

Editor's Note
The Editor's Note functioned as a more unbiased version of the scare/cheesy factors. It was debuted in 2018 as the replacement for those sections. However, Because of how it was a mandatory section, many editor's notes were usually recycled or derived from archived Scare/Cheesy Factors. The Editor's Note was renamed to Legacy, and is only used if a logo has an actual legacy to comment on (hence the name).

Nicknames
The nicknames section was used to list nicknames that a logo was given. However, many of them were either not widely used enough to warrant their presence, were generally absurd in nature, or albeit rarely, were purposely humorous in nature. (i.e. "Majestic Tower 6", "The Reflection/Shadow of the C in the Warehouse", or "And Then a Skeleton Popped Out!") Nicknames still have a minor presence, but only if official or well recognized. (i.e "Broadway" or "V of Doom")

FX/SFX
This section was intended to describe the types of effects used in a logo. However, many pages used this section to merely act as a summary for the logo's description (there is proof of this being the case since the section's inception). This section was renamed to Technique, and is now used to describe what techniques were used in the making of a logo.
