Wikia had first launched Fandom as a sub brand on January 25, 2016. The logo consisted of a geometric heart outlined with a green and blue gradient, with the word "fandom" in a modified version of Croogla 4F font. In September 2016, it was speculated that the entire Wikia platform would be rebranded under the Fandom name.
On September 26, it was announced that Wikia would, in fact, be undergoing the rename, starting on October 4, 2016. Fandom and Wikia were then merged into "Fandom powered by Wikia".
