*Do not describe one-off variations here. In other words, the variant is specific to only one movie/show. These should go on a separate [[Portal:Logo Variations]] page.

'''FX/SFX''': This is a short section. State what kind of effects that are being used in the logo, such as if it is CGI, stop-motion, Scanimate, or simply live-action. Don't just simply say what objects are moving in the logo. If you have to make mention of those, at least describe what effects were used in said moving objects.
'''FX/SFX''': This is a short section. State the animation technique and/or the type of effects being used in the logo. These are some of the usage examples:
*If possible, also state who created the animation and/or where it was done if such information is available.
*'''Analog computer/Scanimate animation:''' This logo was animated using effects from an analog animating computer. This animation style can easily be characterized with the trail effects, shines, panning/zooming, etc.
*If the logo is still/has no effects, simply say "None."
*'''Camera-controlled animation:''' This logo is animated using a computerized stop-motion camera, usually with heavy usage of paper. More often than not combined with cel animation.
*'''Cel animation:''' A fancy way of saying traditional animation. This logo was drawn traditionally using ink and animated frame-by-frame.
*'''(2D/3D) CGI/computer animation:''' This logo was made using computer software. Some current-day examples include Adobe After Effects and Maya.
*'''Live-action:''' This logo was produced using live-action footage.
*'''None:''' This logo is still, fades in/out, scrolls in the credits or has no effects.
 
If two or more of these techniques are combined, you can put both in this manner: "A mix of (TECHNIQUE) and (TECHNIQUE)."


'''Music/Sounds''': Describe the music theme played and/or the type of sounds are being used in the logo.

'''Availability''': This section is important - gather all of the information about where this logo can be found. State any programs, movies, etc. the logo is found in and/or 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.

*Use this scale for determining the availability of a logo. This can prove helpful in some pages, however you are not required to mention a tier in the section. Only use this scale if notable enough to how rare a logo is or not. Otherwise, it's optional.

*Please note that some factors may affect if a logo is actually "rare" or not. For example. older home video logos that at first could be considered "rare" may potentially be found on many prints, if one knows where to look.
