I've owned DVD Profiler since 2003, and provided around a thousand profiles and image scans over that time.  And I've just seen the DUMBEST update ever.  They've just approved the change of name for Terminator 2 to the LOGO on the slipcase.  Yes not even a real new name, it's been changed to T2 based on the stylized logo on the metal case.

Rules are all fine and well but this is just insanity, and when you can't rely on the reviewers to stop this sort of madness it damages the reputation of the entire product.

I going to go and bang my head on a table until I feel better.

II: Star Wars: Attack of the Clones

Unfortunately some people can't tell the difference between a logo and a title and slavishly try and recreate exactly what they see on the cover. Lock your title and move on.
To be honest, I'm amazed it's taken 7 years for you to see such a dumb update - I usually see a lot more than that! 

And Grendell, the title's obviously Star II Wars: Attack of the Clones!   

Don't lough:
There's one profile with "Arthur 2 und die Minimoys", so this wouldn't be new.

I hope it also added the original title to the original title field, otherwise it should have been declined. I always keep my title fields locked btw.

Yup... what Martian says is true. It sounds like it was a correct (per rules) update.

If there is just T2 on the box and the original title is correct, I wouldn't have a problem with this.

I feel I should point out that this is exactly what Ken and Gerri told us to do so, please, let's not blame 'some people' for following the direction of the people who own the company.

I disagree with that statement. All I've seen from Ken and Gerri is a statement about what to do about special characters in titles. I have seen no statement from them regarding logos. I still maintain Ken and Gerri want us to record the title of the DVD, not slavishly recreate the graphical representation of that title on the cover.

I am sorry, but 'T2' is not a graphical representation of the title as it is written in plain text.  Because it is written in plain text, per the rules and the clarifications written by Ken and Gerri, it has to be entered that way.

Now, the Batman symbol, that is a graphical representation of the title and should be entered in plain text.
