Quoting whispering:

We have Yle.fi, doesnt make Yle anymore a company. Its Yleisradio, same as SVT is Sveriges Television. It baffles my mind why anyone would want to add anything else but the real company.

Because it is not uncommon for companies to adopt the abbreviation and use it instead of the real name.  Off the top of my head, I can think of eight...BBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, TNT, TNN, FOX and CNN.  Granted, all but one are US companies, but the fact that I could easily come up with eight tells me it shouldn't baffle anyone.

For Sveriges Television and the stuff that they have produced, there IS sometimes the need to "translate" their various logos or "abbreviations".
For Ebba och Didrik as an example.
First we see the media company logos:
PanVision.
And (indeed...) SVT.
OK. Now we have the media companies. The same SVT logo is stamped on the cover. But there is NO text. Just the SVT logo.
Then the episode starts with this logo.
After the episode, we see this logo.

What do you make of that? It would be incorrect to enter "SVT" as production company! Unless you skip all the rules.

You NEED to translate that logo into something.
The correct thing would be to translate it into "Sveriges Television Kanal 1 Drama".
For one thing "SVT 1" did not exist at the time this series was made. And SVT 1 is not a production company either.
So while you are at it, you could as well translate SVT – the logo and abbreviation – into Sveriges Television.

But what YOU don't seem to get, is that "SVT" and "SF" is NOT(!!!) official.

Quote:

IMO you are proposing that we ALL would bypass the rules here, and enter whatever we like to enter.
If we SEE "SVT", we enter "SVT". If we see Fox, we enter Fox, and so on.
Because why would SVT be an exception?

So far I haven't seen "An SVT Production". Because SVT don't produce films. They are a television broadcasting company. Maybe you didn't know that?

I would only agree that SVT Drama is  a "company", but not a REAL, big one. Just a part of SVT that produces some television. Often series.

And as far as "entering the proper or correct name for a logo", well that just shows ignorance, doesn't it?
You are saying that if I see a "Universal Pictures/Studios" logo, which doesn't say more than "Universal", it's "OK" to enter Universal only. Or another example is the Carolco logo, from Carolco pictures.

I think the main question here is

Do we add company divisions or only subsidiary's? If we do add the former, then company names should always be as credited, with no exceptions. Since a division can run under any name, and are not official names.

Quote:
So any change to a common name would be against the rules. And i think this is what MikaLove has been trying to say, we can not have different rules for different companies.

Quote:
I don't know where you are getting this from as the rules say nothing about common names. 

Quote:
Why on earth are people who likely will never own anything that Sveriges Television has ever had anything to do with debating in this thread? Why not leave that to those who will actually be affected by the outcome of this debate?

Quote:
The Studios topic is no longer pinned, maintained or linked to from the rules.  In addition, while I know it is a popular misconception, that sentence does not tell us to use a common name.  It simply tells us that we can find further information in the forums and can ask question if we are unsure.
