Just in case the wretched new name “Syfy” doesn’t stick for the SciFi Channel, io9 has a fine list of alternative ideas for them. Some of the best are below:
Steal These Name Pitches: 25 Other Names The Sci Fi Channel Could Rebrand With
1. The Sci-Fi, But That’s Not A Bad Thing Channel
2. The We Don’t Have Cooties Channel
4. Sci-Fi Except For All That Wrestling Channel
6. Definitely Not Sci-Fi, No Way, Channel
9. The Stargate Channel That Also Shows Star Trek Sometimes, But Never An Episode That You Want To Watch
10. The Why Isn’t Battlestar Galactica On Anymore Channel
19. We’re Worried That You’re Still In Your Mom’s Basement Because That’s Not Really The Demographic We’re Looking For Channel
21. The Look, Just Fuck Off Geeks, We Don’t Want Your Kind Round Here Network
22. The Ladies, It’s Okay, Don’t Let The Robots Scare You Off Channel
24. The Mansquito And Proud Of It Channel
Actually, my question is, is it “SyFy” or “Syfy”? Because I thought it was the latter, but a lot of folks are using the former, and the logo is no help whatsoever.
Of course, all of this is moot if the channel goes under before July. Which, at this rate, is not bad odds.
