Mario movie 2

It got its name: “The Super Mario Bros Movie 2” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Super_Mario_Bros._Movie_2_logo.jpg

Take it with a grain of salt: it's a fanmade logo. I do not know the exact source of it, but people used it in fanmade trailers from last year back in April; the first movie wasn't even a month old at that point, and a sequel was far from being confirmed either. Now, I have heard that IMAX did show off this logo recently (I suppose during SDCC), but since it's identical to a fanmade logo that's been floating around the internet for at least a year and three months, I'm 100% certain they just plucked a good-looking logo off the internet without knowing if it's actually legit or not. rend (talk) (edits) 19:33, July 27, 2024 (EDT)

It's not a fanmade logo. https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/super-mario-bros-movie-sequel-title-logo-report/ It lists all the official logos, including The Super Mario Bros Movie 2

Did you read my message thoroughly, or did you stop at the first sentence?
Again, it was already used in fanmade trailers from last year back in April, which was WAAAAAY before this movie was announced on Mario Day this year, meaning this logo has to be fanmade and mistakenly used by IMAX. There's NO WAY the official logo for a sequel movie would be unveiled nearly a year in advance of the film's proper announcement and when the first movie is still in theaters. So, again: take that logo with a grain of salt. rend (talk) (edits) 11:34, July 28, 2024 (EDT)

If it was used in a semi-official format, though, surely it's worth mentioning?

"In an SDCC presentation regarding upcoming films, IMAX referred to the movie as The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2, utilizing a logo that has been circulating the internet since well before the film's announcement."

seems perfectly encyclopedic to me. 73.171.104.211 12:13, July 28, 2024 (EDT)

That could work.
I do wish we knew the original source of the fanmade logo though, so we could accurately verify that it's fanmade. But I can't really find a perfectly good source that predates the fanmade trailer I found (which already looks like it has poorly removed the background, meaning it has to predate that fan trailer), and any sources that use this image prior to SDCC are also posted after the fanmade trailer (e.g. the logo on Wikipedia is from June 4 of this year, one on DeviantArt I found was from October 2023, etc). rend (talk) (edits) 14:27, July 28, 2024 (EDT)

Take a closer look from the logo for the first movie. And the other logo above. Can you tell the difference? Can't list link as anti-abuse feature (don't know why it exists) (talk user:Austin819) 13:08, July 28, 2024 (EDT)

It'd be nice if the logo was real and all but the Wikipedia link you sent clearly states that it isn't an official logo if you scroll down a bit to where it says Other information. - KinokoBlast (talk) 13:15, July 28, 2024 (EDT)

Why is the first movie's logo relevant in this conversation? What I'm saying is that this logo you keep showcasing is the exact same logo as the one that's used in this fanmade trailer from over a year ago (it's even in said fanmade trailer's thumbnail), and that IMAX used this fan logo by mistake. I've said that three times now; how is that difficult to understand?!
Heck, if you look at the file history of this logo on Wikipedia, you'll notice that this was uploaded on June 4, 2024, which also predates the apparent """reveal""" by IMAX on July 25, 2024. rend (talk) (edits) 13:36, July 28, 2024 (EDT)
