Themes[]
As with most television channels, it follows a basic theme that is used for advertising and designs. Currently it uses the purple and white theme, contoured line design planet and purple curved font. It uses clouds to display its advertisements for next up shows, dissipating into purple clouds into the Sci Fi logo (along with the basic light purple fog and purple birds flying in the background. Advertisements for shows to be shown later on are usually given a sort of humorous approach, a serious approach or an adventorous approach (such as with stargate, displaying a 'out of this world' style). Currently it has not changed its theme as with other channels often do.
