I am an administrator on Logopedia who has been engaged with it since 2010 back when it first started, however I have only joined 9 years later. I am passionate for logos, and this wiki has been useful to me for a long time.

My area of wiki expertise is grammar, and I regularly correct SPaG errors on Logopedia and Wikipedia.

I also blog on this thing.

If you'd like to chat, please don't be afraid to leave a message on my talk page. I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

How I found this place out

In case you have any doubts on my claim of being here since 2010, I encourage you to read this short paragraph in order to squeeze any inch of doubt you may have.

Having seen logos for a long time, whether that was through watching TV (my family moved to 16:9 digital relatively early, so I was used to seeing DOGs) or just seeing them as I walked around (when I was around 1 year old, the house number 87 in Times New Roman was a simple design I liked), I went to try and find a logo for a little PowerPoint I was doing for no reason (as I did when I was young). In doing so, I happened to stumble across Logopedia. It seemed as if it had only been set up recently. So I just grabbed a few logos. I remembered the name and over the next few weeks and then months I came back to it. I saw it grow. I remember it hitting 10,000 pages extremely well. People wanted to work on this project. I did as an anonymous editor for a while (as I was using my mother's computer and I was only about six at the time, I was a little wary about creating accounts, etc). I kept checking back on it and saw it grow steadily. I was quite proud of this little wiki. I finally did sign up in 2019 and, as they say, the rest is history.

My favourite logos

I prefer logos with cold colours.

Powergen 1989 logo

I do find this logo aesthetically pleasing. The lady in the logo seems understanding and puts one's mind very much at ease.

Logopedia 2010 Wikia logo

This is the logo I used to see when I was around in Logopedia's earliest days. It reminds me of the wiki's good old days. I first became involved in June 2010, you see, when I started editing anonymously.
