Oh man, Dave Howe should be tarred and feathered today at Sci-Fi’s presentation to advertisers today in NYC.
“What we love about this is we hopefully get the best of both worlds,” Mr. Howe said. “We’ll get the heritage and the track record of success, and we’ll build off of that to build a broader, more open and accessible and relatable and human-friendly brand.”
I’m so angry that I’m shaking right now and I don’t even watch the Sci Fi channel that much. I’m just upset that a major network would fall for such a stupid 2.0 meme by dropping letters or whatever. The name change (online as well) will occur on July 7th with the launch of “Warehouse 13.”
Basically, Sci Fi doesn’t want to be associated with nerds, geeks and the dysfunctional anymore. Even though we’re the ones that catapulted their numbers to record highs last year. Oh, Battlestar Galactica certainly helped, though. What are they going to do when the show goes off the air? I mean, out of 300 possibilities, they chose SyFy.
All I ask is that you don’t start running non-Nerd crap like the O.C. and Dawson’s Creek like my buddy Tim over at Geekadelphia fears.

Who the hell made that graphic. FAIL.
Nothing wrong with the graphic.
But something’s wrong with everything else.
Sci-Syfy???
As long as they don’t stop playing the crappiest made for TV horror and monster movies on earth on Sunday Mornings. I need my The Beast of Bray Road, Bloodmonkey, Sea Beast, and Snakehead Terror with my morning coffee.
Uhh…no. How does changing it to SyFy (dumb name BTW) make it LESS nerdy? Someone needs a clue over at that channel (but they do greenlight some of the most awful made for TV horror movies ever).
That’s it, I quit.
I totally quit.
I refuse to acknowledge this retarded decision.
I will pack up my locker and leave the human race right now.
This is my two weeks notice.
Someone call me a god-damned rocket ship.
Market-ards strike again. Talk about not understanding your demographic. Or even your reason for existing. See-Fee? Really? Sounds like the name of a very twee cat or something.
We need to start a fun raising effort to buy them a clue. They need to be helped.
I can also see people being confused about the pronunciation.
This is quite possibly the dumbest idea I have ever seen in my life.
Horrible branding blunder!
Man created the “Suits”
They rebelled
There are many models
They have a plan
To destroy themselves by making stupid decisions
End of line
that is just retarded. its as if the geeks try to drop from being geeky and to be accepted by the jock straps. and we know what happens after that. the jockstrap wannabe geek gets pummeled into oblivion.
it will only end in pain.
I don’t get how anyone can think that “Syfy” is geeky. It’s about as nerdy-unpopular as iPhone, iPod, and I assume that’s what they’re going for.
It looks like something, I don’t know, more “modern”.
Sterile, clean, white, BS.
And that is NOT how I like my Sci-Fi.
Correction, SyFy is geeky, but it’s the popular geeky “everybody” likes.
(Like iPhone, iPod.)
OH, and “Imagine Greater”, combined with some wind turbines…is this supposed to be eco-freindly?
Also, “Imagine Greater”? What the hell? Is Sci-Fi not great enough for you?
