Let's officially decide what naming convention to use on KH13-- "Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX" or "Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix"

  1. 1. Which one?

    • encyclopaedic style
      37
    • stylised trademark
      19

Looks like there's a bit more support for encyclopaedic, but overall it's pretty even.

 

I realised something else about the two options-- for encyclopedic style to be correct, game titles should be in italics, ie. Kingdom Hearts. Conversely, according to Square Enix's trademark style, game titles are not in italics, ie. Kingdom Hearts.

 

Thus, I think a nice little compromise is to use the encyclopedic style in situations where we can use italics, and to use the trademark style in situations where italics is impossible. This generally means that in article titles, website section titles (forum names, gallery albums, etc), we'll use trademark style (as we couldn't properly imitate the encyclopedic style in those circumstances), where in the body of articles or pages, we'll use encyclopedic style.

I'm liking the sound of this.

 

So:

 

News article titles

Forum titles and tags

Gallery section/album/sub-album titles

Archive page titles

Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube and Vimeo

 

Will all use Square Enix's trademark style?

 

Can you think of anywhere else?

Okay so, Sora96 pointed out to me that this isn't correct, actually both should have italics. Square Enix's press releases state the game titles like  Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX, which pretty much destroys my whole compromise haha.
