The pacifying succor of pert little morals

It isn't elegant, but the designer made the "VI" work.

Paramount should retroactively carve a red "V" out of the "M" in the logo for 2022's Scream, and replace the "E" in Scream 3's logo with the red "3."

Scream 7 logo: Bisect the "I" in "VI."

Scream 8 logo: SCRE8M. An "8" with a wider bottom.

SCRIXM?


What can you build out of film titles ending in "X" minus the "X"s?
