    American Cinema Editors streamlines its acronym

    UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. --

    In an effort to streamline and simplify, American Cinema Editors (ACE) has chosen to remove the periods between each letter of its acronym.  Since ACE’s inception in 1950, whenever an ACE member’s name appears in any official capacity, it has been followed by “A.C.E.” (e.g. Jane Smith, A.C.E.) indicating their membership in the organization.  Effective immediately, the acronym no longer contains periods and will simply read “ACE” (e.g. Jane Smith, ACE).  The comma is optional and may appear in credits at the member’s discretion. 

    The change in acronym was announced at ACE’s annual meeting and officially took effect on June 10, 2014.

    “We hope this change will make it easier for our membership, studios and networks to maintain continuity in the usage of our acronym across all forms of communication, credits and signage,” stated ACE president Alan Heim, ACE.  “This modernized version conforms with the industry standard employed by many of our colleagues, which helps simplify its use for all concerned.  As it always has, the acronym indicates ACE membership and the highest level of accomplishment."
