In my book I show a Senator is initially addressed in conversation as Senator (name) and then as Senator in extended conversation. On Capital Hill that's the traditional form of address. Senator Boxer was asking for her traditional form of address. (Colleagues of mine point out that the way she did it and her tone of voice was scolding .... and could have been accomplished in a more appropriate manner. )</blockquote> Just came across this further clarification from someone who wrote the book on protocol:

In my book I show a Senator is initially addressed in conversation as Senator (name) and then as Senator in extended conversation. On Capital Hill that’s the traditional form of address. Senator Boxer was asking for her traditional form of address.

Interesting that Landor Associates -- which were listed in all the news as being involved in the rebrand is now denying involvement in the name selection. Ouch, that must hurt for NBC-U's internal team. I'm wondering now if Landor didn't advise against this particular name (or are going to claim they did?) One addendum: the site above seems to have reprinted a bit of research I did about "SyfySucks.com", changing only one word from the original blog posting. While I don't mind being quoted as a resource, attribution is usually a nice idea when re-using someone else's content. @J Keeter

Apparently Landor, the guys who we all thought were behind the name change, just came out and are distancing themselves from the horrific name. "We aren't responsible for THAT!" Take a look: http://dennytu.wordpress.com/2009/03/25/landor-distancing-self-from-syfy-naming-credit/ If your branding agency doesn't want to be associated with the name, what does it tell you about the decision? SPREAD the word and this link, more people need to see it!!! Somehow this is not being mentioned in the press!!! Just found something really interesting!!!
