STYLE ticket: http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/STYLE-283 Proposed AR documentation: http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/User:Hawke/Proposal/Imprint_AR Previous discussion: http://chatlogs.musicbrainz.org/musicbrainz/2014/2014-01/2014-01-14.html#T01-14-41-677717
Expiration date: 2014-01-23 I propose adding a new label type “Imprint” for label entities which are merely a logo, and have no company behind them. In addition, I propose an AR for this imprint label type, “has imprint”. This would basically be the same as the “subsidiary” AR, but for imprints specifically. The idea behind this is to help distinguish the labels when a logo has similar text to the name of the company that owns it, and/or has transferred through several owners over the years. This does not mean that every standalone label needs to be split into two: If an “original production” label simply uses its own logo as the imprint, it should be acceptable to only have the one label in MB. This AR is intended for more situations when an imprint label is created for a specific product line or has more complex lineage. _______________________________________________ MusicBrainz-style mailing list [email protected] http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
