VICs

VICs is a plural form of the acronym VIC, which can refer to several different concepts depending on the context. The most common uses fall into business, computing, and geography.

In business, VIC stands for Very Important Customer, a label for high-value clients who may receive dedicated account management, priority support, and tailored services. The designation is used to indicate strategic importance in customer relationship programs and sales planning.

In computing and electronics, VIC can refer to the Video Interface Chip, a family of display-related integrated circuits used in several early home computers. Notably, the VIC-II chip powered the Commodore 64's video output, with capabilities such as sprite graphics and multicolor rendering. The term is often used to describe these chips collectively across generations and products.

In geography and culture, VIC is the Australian state abbreviation for Victoria; people from Victoria are called Victorians, and colloquially some refer to themselves as “Vics.” The abbreviation appears on vehicle plates, postal abbreviations, and regional references within Australia.

Because VICs spans distinct domains, the meaning is usually clear from context. The term can thus denote a business relationship priority, a line of display chips in vintage computing, or a geographic and cultural identifier for a particular Australian region.
