The new logo is terrible. It’s lame. What were they thinking? Sci Fi means science fiction. I don’t know what syfy is. It’s going to leave viewers confused. Change it back!

Wow. That IS bizarre. It reads as “siffy.”

SciFi is the MTV of the 00s. I’m old enough to remember when MTV showed videos, though they don’t anymore.

Now I’m also old enough to remember when SciFi showed science fiction, though they don’t anymore.

I loved when they played 60s Twilight Zones in the afternoon and the new Outer Limits at night, and Stargate, and all sorts of aliens and monsters and weird stuff. My friends loved Farscape.

Then a few years ago they stopped showing science fiction altogether, instead going to homemade disaster and bigfoot productions and I have no idea what they’re peddling in prime time anymore.

Maybe that *is* the reason for the name change. They don’t run any sci-fi, so why have it in the name?

And, the logo is weirdness!

You know, I try not to be one of those “change sucks” sort of knee jerk reactionaries, but whooo… this one is just too stupid.

The name change alone is one of the more ridiculous things I’d heard of, but this is the first time I’m seeing their proposed logo. And ew, is it awful.

The current logo is far better in every way. As is the current name.

I keep hoping they’ll rethink this one, but I doubt it.

If they’re so ashamed of the association with science fiction – like it’s some dread communicable disease – why didn’t they go all the way and rename themselves “SyPhi”?
