Audiovisual Identity Database, or AVID (formerly Closing Logos Group Wiki, or CLG Wiki) is a wiki, archive and collaborative database dedicated to describing on-screen production logos, bumpers, warning screens, boot screens, trailers and idents. It was founded in 2007 as a spinoff of the Yahoo! Closing Logos Group.[1]

On September 9, 2022, just months after the wiki's 15th anniversary, the wiki's leadership departed. Following this, the CLG Wiki rebranded to the Audiovisual Identity Database (AVID) after consensus was reached in an on-wiki discussion. A poll was created to choose the final logo, which closed on October 3, 2022; during the vote, a placeholder logo was used.
This logo was updated after a few minutes of usage to make it more readable.
