Hi, I am Dominicmgm.
Important facts
- I was born January 30, 2004 on a very snowy day in Northern England.
- I am autsitic.
- I have been interested in logos from a very early age.
- I go by any pronouns, but preferably He/She.
- I am pansexual.
- My first glimpse at this wiki was around 2010 or so, when I was looking up that logo that was on The Fresh Prince's show.
- If I capture from an emulator, I make sure that the emulator in question is the absolute best one for the system. For example, if I want to capture something from Game Boy Advance, I use mGBA.
- My specialty on this wiki is cinema stuff.

Places I be
- My main channel, which is mostly for funny junk
- My secondary channel, for logos and other stuff
- My Archive.org account
- My Letterboxd, where I review films once in a blue moon
My favourite logos
- Hendring Limited. It's long, but it's very well made.
- Forest Interactive (second logo). I love the atmosphere it has.
- Pearl & Dean (1972). Nothing can beat "Asteroid" to signify "you're at the movies!" to me.
- Helltimate Studio. I admit, this one's a guilty pleasure.
- Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios. Of course! The "MGM" in my name had to come from this.
- Warner Reprise Video. Another guilty pleasure. This logo is pure 80s. It couldn't be more 80s if it wore legwarmers and listened to Duran Duran.
- DMS Video. 80s CGI for the win!
- Astro Records & Filmworks. Mainly for the groovy late 90s techno track.
- Scott Free Productions (2nd logo). The atmosphere, the animation, the sound design, just... mwah.
- Electronic Arts, High Score Entertainment and Visual Concepts (Viewpoint variant). I find the logo transitions to be very clever.
My least favourite logos
- Class Video. This is as dull as a school assembly.
Pages I have created
- Forest Interactive (back on the ol' Wikifoundry days)
- Nickelodeon Pictures
- KS Films
- Independent Television
- Lyca Productions
- Tricorn Productions
- Mosaic Entertainment
- Ashens
- IBF
- BreakThru Films
Pages I had a decent helping hand in

Notes
- ↑ Fake logo by the infamous Supermarty-O.
- ↑ Was determined to not be a logo, rather a thank-you credit.
- ↑ The old name sounded vague and was mistaken for a personal opinions section.
- ↑ Was often used for abridged descriptions of logos. The new name reflects its use better.
- ↑ Was determined to be unnecessary, alongside the "Remembers" section.
- ↑ Too opinionated for the wiki, plus it was giving it a bad reputation as a whole.
- ↑ Merged into AVID due to inactivity.
- ↑ Inactive spin-off wiki that was not well liked by users.
- ↑ Mascot that was created by a banned user, in addition, he was deemed to be unnecessary compared to Ace and Vivi.
- ↑ Was too opinionated and informal for the wiki, alongside the nicknames often not being notable. Official nicknames are now in page headers while notable fan nicknames are now covered in "Trivia" and "Legacy".
- ↑ Was deemed redundant to Logopedia.
- ↑ Was determined to be unnecessary, alongside the "Anniversaries" section. Recent deaths of celebrities are now covered in the "#entertainment-memorial" section of the Discord.
- ↑ Too opinionated for the wiki, plus it was giving it a bad reputation as a whole.
- ↑ Was underused and clogged up the search engine.
- ↑ AVID's original host, it gained scrutiny from its users for its aging layout, its server outages and the apathy of its founder, which ended up being major factors for its move to Miraheze.
