Across many websites, including ours and the others we have as our common name sources, have no 100% compliance for naming the Pro Evolution Soccer games where their titles include both the full name and the abbreviated name as part of their logo. As such, this has led to much confusion as to what to call these games when listed in a database. This vote was brought forth by user ffly, after noting that neither or our sources can be used as the reference for this series as contradiction exists even there.
Using the example of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008, any of the following can be viable:
-
PES 2008: The main part of the front logo
-
Pro Evolution Soccer 2008: the spine and copyright text title
-
PES 2008: Pro Evolution Soccer: the full front logo
-
Pro Evolution Soccer: PES 2008: the reverse of the front logo, as it appears on some entries in our db
Option 5 in the poll is for applying the common name of a game without care for the games in this series to have a particular format among all releases.
Examples.
Pro Evolution Soccer PES 2008 [UK] Xbox 360 [EU]

https://vgcollect.com/item/150082This poll is only for games that use the combined PES/Pro Evolution Soccer logo with the year, and
not the previous versions such as Pro Evolution Soccer 4, which does not use the PES abbreviation. Of course, for these other entries, they can have PES put into alt-name.
When poll has completed, we will determine the appropriate text for alt-name.
As before, poll will run 7 days and you can change your vote if you change your mind about something.
