Have You Heard of _____?

That spelling is VERY familiar. It's not a pidgeon, but pidgin. Can't recall where I saw it from, however.

Have you heard of a PS2 game called Metropolismania?
 
I think so, but I have no idea what it is.

Have you heard of a fear of logos? (It has no official ‘phobia’ term as of now.)
 
Yes, and I actually watched bits of his stand-up. He's pretty good.

Have you heard of (or, rather, seen) Animal Crossing e-cards?

Have you heard of a fear of logos? (It has no official ‘phobia’ term as of now.)
Wanted to reply to this one specifically because YES, I've definitely heard of this. Some notable "scary" logos I can think of include Viacom's "V of Doom", Screen Gems' "S from Heck" (replace heck with the 'other' word), Paramount Television's "Closet Killer", THX's "Broadway VHS", VID/BND's "Creepy Mask Guy", earlier variants of DiC's "Kid in Bed", Stretch Films' "Ugly Mouth", and so on. There's actually compilation videos you can watch on YouTube that gathers most of these together, plus other smaller studios you've probably never heard of. I won't link any, however, as not everyone likes unintentionally scary stuff (and I still get MAJOR goosebumps every time I see the VID mask guy).

Of note, Screen Gems even spawned a mini-documentary in 2010 about its infamous logo, and why those who watched The Partridge Family specifically have bad memories of it. A nice watch if you don't get queasy about such things.
