'''Year''': The date of release and retirement of the logo. Use a level three heading for this. For example:
'''Year''': The date of release and retirement of the logo. Use a level three heading for this. For example:


=== ??? Logo/ID/Open/Trailer (????-????) ===
=== ??? Logo/ID/Open/Trailer (1984-2000) ===
'''Note:''' If you use the boilerplate template, the header will contain an <code><nowiki>{{Ordinal}}</nowiki></code> template. When adding logos, simply add the number you're up to into this template and it will output as 1st, 2nd, etc. This template simplifies the process of renumbering if a logo is removed or relocated on the page for some reason.
'''Note:'' This logo could hypnotize some people


'''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.
'''Nickname(s) {{Font color|red|(optional)}}''': "Warm Cake" "Burst!" "Cake of Doom"


'''Logo/ID/Trailer''': 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/Trailer''': On a black background, we see a cake set with flames across it. The cake, sends out a burst and forms the company name with a copyright.


Take your time on these, and make sure you revise, because if you leave an important detail out, you can easily confuse people.
'''Trivia {{Font color|red|(optional)}}''': The animation was made by Bradley Rainey.


'''Trivia {{Font color|red|(optional)}}''': If there is some trivia about the logo, put them in this section.
'''Byline(s) {{font color|red|(optional) }}''':
1984-1990: A Disney Company
1990s: A division of ABC
'''Variant(s) {{Font color|red|(optional)}}''':
On Bitty Birthday Cake, the cake has candles on it.
On the 1999 airing of Savas and the Cowboys, the cake pops instead of bursts.


'''Byline(s) {{font color|red|(optional) }}''': If the logo uses multiple bylines during its period of use, describe them here.  
'''FX/SFX''': Stop motion animation.


'''Variant(s) {{Font color|red|(optional)}}''': If there are different variants of a logo, post them here. Do not describe one-off variations here. These should go on a separate [[Portal:Logo Variations]] page.
'''Music/Sounds''': A tuba and a brass followed by a 6 note tune.


'''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, e.g.is it CGI? Stop-Motion? Scanimate? hand-drawn? Live Action? Also state who created the animation and/or where it was done if such information is available. Don't describe the effects of the logo using the words "Everything" or "All the animation of the logo"; be specific.
'''Music/Sounds Trivia {{Font color|red|(optional)}}''': Created by Bradley Rainey.


'''Music/Sounds''': Describe what kind of sounds are being used in the logo. If possible, also mention how the sound is made and who made it.
'''Music/Sounds Variant(s) {{Font color|red|(optional)}}''':
*If a specific piece of music is used, identify it and consider inserting a link to an upload of the music on YouTube, Vimeo or a similar site if available. Especially where the music and/or artist is less well-known.
On their 1st debut, a dramatic tune.


'''Music/Sounds Trivia {{Font color|red|(optional)}}''': If there is some interesting trivia about the logo theme or sounds, put them in this section.
'''Availability''':
 
Seen on the 1984 prints of Hide Banana. Sen on their media from the 1980s-1990s.
'''Music/Sounds Variant(s) {{Font color|red|(optional)}}''': If there are one or more variants of the logo theme or sound, post them here.
 
'''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.


'''Scale of Availability''':
'''Scale of Availability''':
Use this nomenclature for your future logo descriptions:
Extinct.
 
* Ultra common/Very common: When you find this logo everywhere (also if this logo plasters everything).
* Common: You find that logo on newly produced shows/movies of that company, or is left intact on reruns/DVDs.
* Uncommon: You may find that logo on some prints of produced films/shows of that company.
* Rare/Very rare: It appeared few times on some releases/prints.
* Scarce: You may find it on several prints/releases.
* Extremely rare: Appeared on some old releases/prints that hasn't been widely distributed.
* Ultra rare: Difficult to find or appears on a very special release or print.
* Extinct/Near extinction: Has been replaced by other logos and/or is beyond hard to find, but can be found on very old releases/prints.
* Unknown: If you don't know on which films/shows the logo has appeared.
* Current: Can be used to describe the current logo of the company
* Brand new: For newer logos.
* TBA: To be announced.
 
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. For similar reasons, do not attempt to predict when a logo will make its final appearance.


'''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 cheesy, beloved, notorious, etc. If not that important, put "None" or just don't make it an option.
'''Editor's Note''': Cheesy.
