Guest Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 AT&T is phasing out DirecTV by changing the DirecTV dish logo to its own Death Star logo. I believe they'll eventually eliminate the DirecTV brand altogether, which I think would be a mistake, but if it's part of their corporate strategy then I guess they know best. (Not.) What if they just tweaked their name little bit? I borrowed and altered this lgo from the Cingular to AT&T transition logo. AT&TV, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo_prankster Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Even though I've had Cox Cable all my life, the phase out of DirecTV's name would take away another favorite logo of my youth. Were there any issues about DirecTV since the sale to AT&T that I should know about? The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NICnoK Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 AT&TV is a pretty great idea. Hopefully it would differentiate the formerly DirectTV service from their Uverse which, in my experience, sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 This is like when Comcast rebranded their much hated cable/internet service to Xfinity. It's the same turd, just wrapped in a different color aluminum foil. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

Sec19Row53 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 So it would be American Telegraph and Telephone Vision? That doesn't work. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Zephyr III Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Well, they've already introduced the Death Star next to the name whenever you sign up for your TV provider respectively. But AT&TV doesn't make any sense since they've been trying so hard to encourage U-Verse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 So AT&TV is just your idea, right? That's not real - or is it?

C-Squared Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 There is no confirmation they're actually dropping the name, right? I get the idea of pushing things in another direction, but there is undeniable value in the DirecTV brand, which is one of the most visceral and recognizable brands in the industry. I sometimes wonder if these types of rebrands are ego-driven by overly ambitious executives trying to make their mark.

DelayedPenalty Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 AT&T already has Uverse TV service also. If anything was going to be called AT&TV I'd think it would have been that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goforbroke Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 AT&TV actually crossed my mind too .. thought it was clever Actually changing the whole company name to AT&TV isnt a terrible idea. theres about 130 years of history with the AT&T name with a company that was literally founded by alexander graham bell ... BUT since they dont do telegraph anymore to my knowledge AT&TV kinda makes more sense American Telephone and Television But won't happen. they announced they are combining uverse and directv into AT&T Entertainment.

I know they won't change their corporate name to AT&TV--even I wouldn't do it, even if it's just DirecTV--but I do believe that they are phasing out U-Verse and DirecTV and bringing everything into the giant AT&T umbrella.

I am in agreement with you about the value and positive image of the DirecTV brand, but this is the company that decided to drop Cingular, which, IIRC, had a slightly better image and customer service than AT&T.
