Editing Talk:Series symbol

== Black vs. White ==
Considering that this wiki's background is white, I feel that images with the same color background would look better than the current black pictures (assuming the symbol is clearly visible), as in this [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/images/icon/world_w_19.gif example]. It's not a make-or-break change, but the page would certainly look better in this format, if anyone would be up to the challenge.

== Deletion ==
<s>'''Delete''' Yeah, this seems really trivial to me. I mean, aren't the symbols already on their respective fighter/stage pages?

'''No Delete''' It explains where they come from. There are a lot of stupid things on this wiki, so on one where we keep Super Smash Flash and Smashtasm along with pages for every sticker, I think this would slide. Heck, here we can make a page for Sniper Wolf just because she's from MG.

== Smash Bros. Logo ==

Does anyone know the origins of the Smash Bros. logo? I had read somewhere that the circle represented the sun, and the two lines were from a window pane. 

-Additionally, if anyone knows anything about any of the symbols currently without sufficient descriptions, I would ask that they add the info, or discuss it here. [[User:Zixor|Zixor]] ([[User talk:Zixor|talk]]) 04:38, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

== What doesn't belong ==

The Animal Crossing, DS, Electroplankton, and Smash Bros. (at least) icons do not represent any fighters. They are not really series symbols, are they? If so, what qualifies them, and where are they used in the game? [[User:Zixor|Zixor]] ([[User talk:Zixor|talk]]) 23:45, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Exactly Where are each of these symbols used in the game? If they are indeed relevant, then the introduction must be modified. [[User:Zixor|Zixor]] ([[User talk:Zixor|talk]]) 15:23, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
:Go to stage select.  Under the photo on the left will be three things: the source game, the stage's name AND THESE SYMBOLS.  That includes the previously mentioned symbols.

== GIF vs. SVG ==

Wouldn't it be nice if someone could convert all of these icons into scalable vector graphics? (I know the Electroplankton icon a PNG, but it's still pretty small.) Within the game, these series symbols appear as if they could be magnified and enlarged tenfold with no loss of quality. For example, when a match ends, the winning character's symbol appears big on the screen before shrinking slightly and going behind things. Wikipedia would tag these images with a "[[Wikipedia:Template:BadGIF|BadGIF]]" template. If I had Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator, you can bet I'd do this. What does anyone else think? [[User:Dogman15|Dogman15]] ([[User talk:Dogman15|talk]]) 07:20, November 17, 2009 (UTC)
:Well, in the game they're probably just really high resolution (like 1024x1024 or something). But yeah, making the icons into .svg's might be a good idea.

== Two more symbols and note ==

Just though I bring these up but there are two more symbols (both from 64): The Metal Mario symbol http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/WarioBrose/2697E5D6AF732F4D954F8E0A954A4020_zps07d59376.png and the random symbol on stage select on VS. mode http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/WarioBrose/F651EDAADB6917900A1596E605451D02_zpsc904cec0.png (I ripped both straight from the game).  Also, note that the EarthBound series symbol differs slightly between Melee and Brawl.  If you don't think these are worthy of being added to the Wiki that's fine I'm just suggesting. [[User:WarioBrose|WarioBrose]] ([[User talk:WarioBrose|talk]]) 17:19, 17 November 2013 (EST)

== Unknown symbol explanation ==
The Smash Bros. logo is a circle, right? I think the unknown logo means it is taking random bits out of other series. It's more of a "Miscellaneous" or "Other" symbol than "Unknown". This is used for any series that doesn't have a symbol, or otherwise we can just assumed it was dreamed up by the Smash series. --[[User:Meester Tweester|Meester Tweester]] ([[User talk:Meester Tweester|talk]]) 01:05, 11 February 2015 (EST)
:But why BATTLEFIELD? It's just a normal Smash stage. The logo would look more at home on a NES REMIX stage. Plus whenever I saw that symbol on the stage selection, I used to think the game crashed.

== Remove the SpecialStages symbol from the "Other universe" pages. ==

I don't see why we use the "Special Stages" symbol for the pages about subjects from unrepresented universes. This symbol was used once officially for the Melee {{SSB4|Battlefield}} but we use it for the minor universes. Isn't that kind of confusing? When Super Smash Bros. show something from a universe not represented by a fighter or stage, like the Smash 4 trophies in the Trophy Gallery and the Ultimate Assist Trophies in the Nintendo Directs they simply don't use a series symbol for unrepresented series while they have the appropriate symbols for represented series. I think we should remove the SpecialSeries symbol from the articles when they are not referring to SSBM Battlefield. The Assist Trophies would look better without that unnecessary symbol in their caption. On tables? I'm sure there would be a way to work with unbranded universes. We don't need a placeholder. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 18:55, 9 August 2018 (EDT)
:I disagree that we don't need a placeholder - for one, simply because we're a wiki. If someone comes along to a page and sees that there is no symbol for something, they're more likely to believe that it's missing as opposed to intentionally absent, and try to add one. Whereas if we use a placeholder symbol, chosen because it has official existence yet is only used in one rather obscure location, they're more likely to leave it be. Plus at this point it's kind of a "thing" of ours; more experienced readers understand how we use it and will get confused if it suddenly disappears without replacement.

::Well, even if we need a placeholder, it shouldn't be the Special Stages symbol because that was used for the Melee Battlefield and that is not related to the universes we use this symbol for. Maybe a blank symbol would be better? And if someone thinks a symbol is missing we can add a hidden note to tell them that the universe doesn't have a symbol. It's more confusing to see Melee's Battlefield having the same symbol as the minor universes. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 01:05, 10 August 2018 (EDT)
:::Blank is no better than "none" in my opinion, and it's best to not rely on hidden notes.

You say "this was never a problem until you made it a problem", but we have to clarify what's meant by "problem" here.  It was never a point of contention until someone made it a point of contention, sure.  But from the point of view of being as correct as possible, it was as soon as the ellipsis symbol came into existence and we weren't using it!  (At least, if you agree that the ellipsis symbol would be better, which you don't, I guess, but you get what I mean.)  The point is, a problem is the wiki not being as good as possible -- not people getting into arguments about it!  What else is a discussion page for, after all?  I mean, I'll certainly agree that trying to put this sort of thing in the wiki itself, or dragging it across multiple pages (I'll take your word that this happened), is not good behavior, but, rather than banning the subject, surely it would make more sense to just confine it to one central discussion location (such as here) where it would make sense?  And then everyone who doesn't want to argue about this can just stay away. [[User:Sniffnoy|Sniffnoy]] ([[User talk:Sniffnoy|talk]]) 18:56, 17 February 2019 (EST)

:::::::::It should be safe to restart that discussion in a month or two, due to the amount of new users that will come here. However, currently, anybody who adds to that page will be banned for disruption. I made the point that if the disimbaguation pages for spirits use the ellipsis, then so should the Assist Trophies who have Spirits as well (especially since the ellipsis is only used for Ultimate-related contexts, which Assist Trophies with Spirits fully are), but that was instantly shot down, so just roll with the “consensus” for now.

== New Stage Builder symbol ==

[https://miketendo64.com/2019/04/21/guide-how-to-download-stages-in-super-smash-bros-ultimate/ Look at he image]. I’m pretty sure this counts as a series symbol, similarly to the special stages symbol and Smash 4’s stage builder symbol, correct?

== Dragon Quest Symbol ==

People have been adding the Slime symbol, or "The Mark of Erdrick", to all the ''Dragon Quest'' pages. However, the series symbol for The Hero, and therefor ''Dragon Quest'' as a whole, uses a [https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/fighter/72.html completely different symbol]. (Its probably a symbol that represents the main ''Dragon Quest'' hero's game rather than his series as a whole, like with Joker's) Is the Slime symbol only being used as a placeholder? [[User:Wolff|&#32;Wolff]] ([[User talk:Wolff|talk]]) 14:27, June 11, 2019 (EDT)
:It shouldn't be used in the first place. That symbol was a placeholder for the Dragon Quest NIWA Wiki.

== Undertale icon ==

I realized something when I someone pointed it out on Twitter: this official video preview for the Megalovania remix in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' has it's own icon, in the form of a heart, which represents the player's SOUL in the game ''Undertale''. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFDKcuLxxZg You can see the video here (it's unlisted).]  Has this icon been spotted in-game? Should we include this in the article otherwise? - [[User:BrawlMatt202|BrawlMatt202]] ([[User talk:BrawlMatt202|talk]]) 22:17, September 6, 2019 (EDT)
:We've chosen not to put it in since it's not actually in the game, and even if it was, Undertale doesn't have much representation and including the symbol wouldn't be justifiable (since symbols are usually given to major universes). We chose to do something similar with the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APSRqnT8hvo Snipperclips remix], which similarly features a music note as its symbol; while said symbol is actually in the game, it isn't used to represent any universes.

==Assist Trophy icon==
Does it even count? If so, is there a way to get a gray version of it? [[Special:Contributions/72.203.118.154|72.203.118.154]] 22:40, March 14, 2020 (EDT)

==Does the spirits logo count as a series symbol?==
[https://i.imgur.com/4T5GluM_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium This symbol]. If the World of Light and Assist trophy icons count as series symbols, so should this. This is even more prevalent than either of those. [[Special:Contributions/72.203.118.154|72.203.118.154]] 16:43, May 20, 2020 (EDT)

== Using the minor universe symbols in tables ==

So there is a bit of a conflict going on if tables should include the minor universes symbols. [[Mii Costume]], [[Alternate costume (SSB4)/Mii Fighter]], and [[Alternate costume (SSBU)/Mii Fighter]] omit them but some pages like [[Downloadable content (SSBU)]] use them. Please discuss here instead of edit warring.

:I don't want to cause drama again, I just want them to be consistent, and I just personally feel that it looks better without them in tables. Infoboxes, the minor universe symbol should stay. I'm not starting that argument again. Just do what you want for tables, as long as it's consistent across different pages. [[Special:Contributions/72.203.118.154|72.203.118.154]] 18:11, May 26, 2020 (EDT)
