In UGC video verification, one potential important piece of information is the video origin. This service is able to identify logos in videos, drawing from a large number of sources of TV channels, independent media organizations, and informal groups such as militant organizations participating in the Syrian civil war. The service aims to assist investigators by automatically detecting the logo and providing the users with information about it, such as the name of the organization and the corresponding Wikipedia page. Thus, the investigator may be aware of the video provenance, and be aware of potential biases or manipulation of the truth. The logo dataset is expandable, allowing investigators to submit new logos and associated information for inclusion in the system. Press "Known Logos" to see the list of recognizable templates, try out the logo examples below, or submit a new logo to the dataset.
