Closing logos of DiC Entertainment
Chronicle of the logos used after the credits of TV shows produced by DiC; logocruft run amok. &mdash;tregoweth (talk) 15:43, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Not sure, but there is an article on closing logos for screengems and viacom as well; in general they seem to be proper daughter articles on the subject, albiet in need of sources. RN 15:53, 9 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I think it's a perfectly valid dissection and detailing of production logos, and something of such a caliber regarding these logos might be very hard to find outside of Wikipedia. It's as valid as the Viacom logos article, and for that matter any Wikipedia article chronicling logos or logo design of any type. Brillemeister 18:49, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, as original research. No published sources are cited to show that "Closing logos of DiC Entertainment" is of any important or has been written about in any venue meeting the reliable source guidelines. Dpbsmith (talk) 21:28, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * To reinforce Dpbsmith's point, I mention that there are people who write extensively about logos.  See this or this, for examples.  It should be relatively easy to source this if it is not original research. Uncle G 23:44, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * There is a bit of discussion of the closing logos here and a fortunecity site - maybe not enough yet though. Difficult AFD in some ways. (procedurally simple, though). RN 23:53, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to DiC Entertainment. Danny Lilithborne 01:27, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Wow. Clearly the "among television's scariest logos" type of stuff needs to be sourced (or deleted per WP:NOR).  Real subject matter that millions of people saw, although few noted at all.  If these articles can be cited by something more than a YouTube thingie that the same person might have posted, then I would call these good enough daughter articles to be kept, even though actual interest in the topic seems very much a niche phenomenon.  I'm not sure the three logo articles would be any more encyclopedically organized if merged into Viacom/ScreenGems/DiC articles or into a TV-closing-logos article; if kept they should probably remain standalone articles.  Lacking reliable sources, though, it's hard to argue with Dpbsmith's WP:NOR call.  No vote pending documentation.  Barno 03:21, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, - we had this discussion with Walt Disney logos and while one logo to illustrate an article is fine, a gallery of logos is copyvio. BlueValour 02:50, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
