Category talk:Logos

message: How about creating loads of different subcatergories. For instance. TV programs, TV channels, Radio Stations, Universities and so on and so forth. I noticed there are no Ulster flags on here. Ulster flags are very rare to come accross on the net. But i also notice there are plenty of rep of ireland flags.

I think we're going to have to split up the sports category further, and it's probably worth doing sooner rather than later, to save effort. SeventyThree(Talk) 20:16, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I also have been adding logos to  and , but for some reason these cats won't show up on the Logos subcat section.</nowiki>
:They're there but you don't see them because the Wikipedia software breaks the subcategory pages into the same alphabetical groups that article pages are broken down into.  So to find the University logos category page go to U.  But it doesn't show up on the first U page because Uni is alphabetized three pages further down, but if you skip down it is there.  So just keep emptying the main category and eventually you'll get to where you can see all the categories on the first page.
:BTW, you can now use the logo2 template to avoid having to create a new template for every subcategory.  --JeffW 22:41, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

I've sorted that using a space, so as of now all the linked subcats are visible on the main page.  is sorted by * rather than a space, because it's subtly different to the rest of the subcats. If the subcats sorted by * drop off the first page, we'll know that the categories have spilt over - although I don't think that'll happen. SeventyThree(Talk) 05:01, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

message: On a related point to the above, should :Category:Commercial logos be merged with :Category:Company logos? it seems they are more or less the same thing. Or, if not, I think the function of each should be clarified. ::Supergolden:: 08:45, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I also think that there is a need for a category for Retail Logos or Store Logos.  Many of the logos in Commercial Logos (including some that I sorted to put there) are logos for supermarkets, department stores, etc.  --Hillrhpc 15:18, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would have thought that 'Store logos' is a subcat of Company logos? I agree with 73 that 'Product logos' or maybe 'Brand logos' would be a better name for Commercial logos. ::Supergolden:: 08:32, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:   sounds too vague to me - is ASDA a brand or a company? Now that it's been taken over by Wal-mart, it's not a distinct company. ASDA-brand foods exist as well, so maybe it's both.  would be a good one to put shops in. SeventyThree(Talk) 17:57, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merging Commercial and Company 

message: Yesterday, User:Ed g2s added the __NOGALLERY__ tag to the category page (it hides all the images behind links). Personally, I find this very annoying, so I've reverted.
I'm guessing that it was done to save bandwidth or increase loading times for people on a slow connection - not something I have a problem with here, but I was wondering what other people thought. SeventyThree(Talk) 16:46, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actualy it's mostly a copyright policy thing, these categories are basicaly giant galleries of fair use images. That is generaly considered a Bad Thing under our policy, but in the past it was unavoidable. So the __NOGALLERY__ command was implemented to allow thumbnails to be turned off in categories that list unfree images. --Sherool (talk) 17:42, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem now is there is no convenient way to simply browse through images to find ones that might be easy to save (e.g. logos which are immediately recognizable where finding a source would be trivial). DHowell 19:24, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
