Syfy?
The Sci Fi Channel... America's greatest resource for Twilight Zone reruns and movies about computer-generated snakes attacking bad Canadian actors... has decided to change it's name/logo/state of being from this:
To this:
(sigh)
You know... I really don't even have anything to add. What they're doing, very specifically, is going from being an actual thing to being a thing that just sounds like an actual thing. "Sci Fi" is a real concept that people can grasp immediately. "Syfy" is a made-up word that means nothing more than "our marketing department has a drinking problem, but we're running out of options."
So... yeah... okay, honestly, I wasn't really going anywhere with this. Other than pointing out that what the Sci Fi Network is doing is stupid, of course, but I guess that's kind of obvious. What do you want from a dude; it's Saturday and I'm running on bad sleep, Dr. Pepper, and lil' smokies. Content be content, bitches.

Syfy: Brought to you by the makers of LOL and OMG.
if this is some back-handed way of pulling in actual viewers, i'm adamantly opposed. basically, whether it's SyFy or SciFi, they need terrible movies to drink to on saturday nights, i guess is what i'm saying.
yeah, basically all the guy (the owner of the network) is doing by changing the name is alienating the current viewing population. it's a really dumb move, and he'll see the station lose shitloads of money. especially after the comment he made about the current viewing population - i guess to, i don't know, CHANGE it. but ...to what?
What a lame-brained idea.The current name and logo are perfect. What is the justification to even change it?
The thought of how many people must have approved this kind of thing always baffles me. Idiots!
this new crop of graphic art/logo designers are fucking bullshit hacks.
first tropicana oj now this.
wtf!!
I can only ask Y?
Next they'll put the F backwards, like ToysRUs.
And "Imagine Greater"? I'm imagining greater slogans right now.
