This shows the history of the company whose logos you're describing. They can include when the company started, their business practices, who runs it, business acquisitions they've made, or when they shut down (if they have). You do not have to include this on your page, but it's VERY informative. Use a level three heading for this section. | This shows the history of the company whose logos you're describing.

'''Nickname(s) | '''Nickname(s) {{Font color|red|(optional)}}''': Just something people call the logo by. Nicknames are made from a certain theme shown in the logo; more often than not, however, they're made from how cheesy or scary the logo is. These are on many logos, but do not necessarily have to be on a description. | ||
'''Logo/ID/Open''': The heart of it all. This is used to describe what happens in the logo. Be very descriptive on this part - use colorful adjectives as much as possible, and try to describe every little detail. Start by saying what color the background is, and then whatever animations are in the logo. For still logos, just name the background color and whatever is on the still image. | '''Logo/ID/Open''': The heart of it all. This is used to describe what happens in the logo.

Take your time on these, and make sure you revise, because if you leave an important detail out, you can easily confuse people. | Take your time on these, and make sure you revise, because if you leave an important detail out, you can easily confuse people. | ||
'''Trivia | '''Trivia {{Font color|red|(optional)}}''': If there is some trivia about the logo, put them in this section. This is optional, so can do it if you want to. | ||
'''Variant(s) | '''Variant(s) {{Font color|red|(optional)}}''': If there are different variants of a logo, post them here. | ||
'''FX/SFX''': This is a short section. Say what is moving in the logo, and what kind of effects or special effects are being used (and don't just be lazy and put "Everything" or "All the animation in the logo"). If it's still, simply say "None". Also try to state what looks professional in the logo. | '''FX/SFX''': This is a short section.

'''Availability''': This section is important - gather all of the information about where this logo can be found. State whether it is rare or not, tell where it can be found, and where it was last seen. Don't forget to ''italicize'' titles (or use quotation marks for episode names of television shows) from where the logo can be found. And please don't predict if they'll appear in upcoming films, because they may very well not use the logo. | '''Availability''': This section is important - gather all of the information about where this logo can be found.

Do not put vague or incoherent descriptions like "''common but rare''" or "''current but common''". Phrases like these can confuse readers. Also, for any upcoming movies or shows, don't make predictions on when the logos will appear as they may not even use them. | Do not put vague or incoherent descriptions like "''common but rare''" or "''current but common''".

'''Editor's Note | '''Editor's Note {{Font color|red|(optional)}}''': Write about how the logo has affected the logo community and/or broader popular culture and how much of an impact it's left, whether it's scary, cheesy, beloved, etc. If not that important, put "None" or just don't make it an option. | ||
'''Notes''': When having two or more logo descriptions, make sure you hit "Enter" four times in between each one so each description will have enough breathing room. Furthermore, when listing name changes for a company, use a level two heading for each name. | '''Notes''': When having two or more logo descriptions, make sure you hit "Enter" four times in between each one so each description will have enough breathing room.
