I'll start first.

  1. Insult terms are incredibly annoying.
  2. Sony Pictures Television is Sony's best television logo if you ignore the plastering.
  3. The Paramount logo with the 1976 fanfare should've been used more. I rarely hear it in the movies of its time.
  4. People who use the term "logo kids" are more immature than the logo kids they accuse themselves.
  5. Warner Bros. has been updating itself too often.

Any others you guys have?
