Purpose
The Screamer Wiki, formerly known as the ScreamerChecker Wiki, had the original purpose to let people check if a website was a screamer or not by searching the name of the website on the wiki. Since then, the wiki slowly started to open up and expand to more types of screamers. The wiki now has pages about shock sites, games, and many more.
Evolution of the logo
The logo of the Screamer Wiki has evolved a lot in the last two years and has underwent some major changes. The first two logos have originally had the words ScreamerChecker Wiki. After the wiki dropped Checker and went for Screamer Wiki, the logo was changed as well.
1st logo (November 2013 to August 2015)
The first logo was used before the Screamer Wiki redesign. It was used when the wiki was made all the way to the redesign on August 1st, 2015.
2nd logo (August 1st 2015 to August 4th 2015)
The second logo was introduced on August 1st, 2015 during the redesign. It looked like the latest one, except the name has Checker, and it had only one skull on each side instead of three different emojis.
3rd logo (August 4th 2015 to September 11th 2015)
The third and newest logo was introduced when the ScreamerChecker Wiki was renamed to Screamer Wiki. This logo dropped the word Checker to have only Screamer Wiki. There are three emojis: a skull, ghost, and a purple devil, on the right of the words by order.
4th logo (September 11th 2015 to present)
The fourth logo is a slight variation from the last logo. This one was introduced on September 11th, 2015, when the wiki adopted a new theme color. This logo is still being used today.
