Page structure

The typical logo page is usually divided into sections, usually one section for each era in the brand's development.

Headlines

Each section is topped with a headline showing the approximate time of the start and end of the era. If we can confirm that a certain version of the logo was introduced in 1982 and replaced in 1997, the headline will read "1982–1997".

If you can't confirm these dates, you should replace unsure dates with question marks. For example, if you know that a logo with intoduced sometime between the 1960s and 1980s, and was replaced sometime between 1995 and 1999, the headline should read "19??–199?".

Image

Following the headline, we have the main version of the logo from that era. The logo should be centered and generally be between 150 and 250 pixels wide, depending on the proportions of the logo.

Make sure the logo is of high quality. Low quality images should generally only be used when a high quality logo isn't available. SVG and PNG are the preferred filetypes.

Many organizations provide multiple versions of their logo. Try to find out which is the preferred version, and put it on the top. Alternative versions may be included below.

Text

The next part of the section is a text which describes the brand's development during the era.

Examples of basic information that should be included if available, is dates fo the introduction and the designer behind the logo.

This section may also include other aspects of brand communication, such as advertising, liveries for vehicles, merchandising, packaging etcetera.

Links

Links to pages on the Internet that provide further information are usually placed straight after the relevant text.

If you have a link that can't be put in a particular era, it should be on the top.

Factual accuracy

Accurate and properly sourced information is important if the wiki is to remain credible and of high quality. Therefore you should try to provide sources for your claims as often as you possibly can.

Make sure you are prudent about the information you post, and take necessary precautions to avoid the posting of inaccurate information.

False or made-up information should be removed on sight.
