How many of us had a unique relationship with logos and television/film branding in general?

It's an interesting thing I see pop up here and there. I know there's a big logo community on sites like Youtube and wikis, and people who like to upload specific bumpers, and I suspect a big bulk of those communities are autistic. I've gone down rabbit holes of watching logo variations and commercials from VHS tapes and old network bumpers. But then you also see some people who take it very seriously, or are really frightened by certain logos.

I think there's something about the familiarity, right? It's very soothing to us because these were presented in the same place every time we watched a certain show or movie franchise. A lot of us may associate it with childhood special interests and we often hold onto those into adulthood.

But on the other hand, when I was really little, I had times when seeing the Nick or Nick Jr logo at the end of my tape would upset me, because it meant the tape was over, and I had to go back to reality -- and transitioning back to reality isn't always easy for us. So sometimes it's not soothing at all and we look back at logos as frightening when they really aren't -- I think it's the disruption that frightens us. Same with commercials interrupting a TV show.

It's one of the interesting niches I suspect is common with autistic people online. (I have a similar suspicion about MPAA movie ratings, which I was obsessed with reading as a kid and I've seen media depicting that as an autism symptom as well, haha.)

Anybody else have insight on the autistic fascinating with branding?
