IFC Has New, More Fitting Logo
Given the prevalence of offbeat comedy at IFC these days, this new logo is definitely more appropriate, wouldn’t you say?
There are slight echoes of Comedy Central’s old logo here, which, if you can see the small resemblance, is ironic as Comedy Central now has a logo that closer to IFC’s old one. Comedy Central and IFC haven’t changed places programming wise, but IFC definitely programs much more comedy in place of the many foreign indie documentaries as they used to air ten years ago.

What might be the most epic comedy mini series (it certainly has the look for it) on TV, The Spoils of Babylon starring Tobey Maguire and Kristen Wiig premieres tonight on IFC at 10PM.

Rob Huebel To Star In IFC Pilot ‘American Storage’
Believe it or not, this is not a parody of the popular reality TV series Storage Wars, which we’re sure Rob Huebel could satirize quite well in a leading roll.
Still, Huebel living in a storage unit and all the weirdness that comes with it is definitely grounds for a show we want to watch at IFC.
