I’m in marketing and I totally understand a re-brand, in-fact have done a few very successful ones in my tenure. This one however goes TOTALLY against what a re-brand is all about. It IS a slap in the face to its CORE audience while trying to appeal to a non-audience. A beginner did this debochery, not a seasoned professional I assure you. I wouldn’t want to be the network executive OR ad agency that signed off on this one. Bye-bye account and your network executive jobs.

sci-fi to syfy??? Now that’s truly pathetic. This station has been going from good to bad to worse since it’s inception and a name change won’t salvage it from it’s mediocrity today. I have a question. Why hasn’t the station (it did briefly in it’s first year) show any of those great science fiction, fantasy and horror classics anymore??

Siffy what is Siffy remind you of? And the promo while I love that song doesn’t make me imagine greater. Have you seen the comments and youtube with the promo. You can see they did their job at getting the lowest common denominator and people who don’t even like scifi or lack imagination to think they are imagining greater.lol

It’s ridiculous. I’ve read the official releases about why this moniker change occurred and they’re illogical. Nothing they say has anything to do with, well, ANYthing. Sci Fi is a TERM, coined by the late great 4e Ackerman (Forrest Ackerman who amongst other things was a literary agent for some of the greatest Golden Age Sci Fi writers who ever lived) and the term has a meaning and a message. SyFy is like.. HUH!?!?s It stumps me and everyone I’ve spoken to about it. A main point is, even for the younger folk, newer generation etc., it has no more “broad appeal”. Sci Fi communicates JUST FINE and is very broad and encompasses the young and old. SyFy is moronic and weird and does not also communicate a Science Fiction concept in any wise. It’s NOT TOO LATE to change it back – can you spell C L A S S I C C O K E? Do it now and save face!!
