Wikia
February-June 2007
SVG NEEDED |
In 2007, Wikicities was renamed as Wikia. The previous logo design was used for a short time, albeit with the new name.
2007–2012
An entirely new logo for Wikia, designed by Mike Bohrer, was introduced in 2007. The "i"s in the wordmark are amended to look like square brackets, an element commonly used in editing on Wikia to link to URLs or articles.
2012–2016
The 2007 logo was modified with a different bolder typeface, and was revealed on October 5, 2011 and later launched on March 20, 2012. From the Fandom launch until a new logo was introduced, it was still used as a secondary logo.
Fandom
2016–2017
Wikia had first launched Fandom as a subbrand on January 25, 2016. The logo consisted of a geometric heart outlined with a green and blue gradient, with the word "fandom" in a custom-made font. In September 2016, it was speculated that the entire Wikia platform would be rebranded under the Fandom name, and on September 26, it was announced that Wikia would in fact be undergoing the rename, starting on October 4, 2016.[1][2]
2017–present
On May 18, 2017, the 2016 logo was modified by changing the color of the heart symbol completely to blue, and changing the wordmark from lowercase to uppercase in a different typeface. Fandom's name also started to become stylized in all-caps.
