Fear of Logos

Starting in the late-1990s, through the growing widespread use of the Internet, some users have shared and discussed past and present incidents regarding specific phobias of certain film, television, and in rarer cases video game logos. These phobias are usually first experienced in childhood and kept until early adolescence or in very rare cases, up to adulthood. Certain people can be afraid of different logos, though throughout history of the subject most of them tend to have similar characteristics: such as being audibly loud, visually dark, a prominent use of synthesizers in the score, or be a complete tonal inverse of the program it accompanies. One could be scared of a logo without any of these characteristics but for completely different or experiential reasons.
