nah, IMO 'Madonion' had a bit of style and character about it, futuremark is just another dull, generic benchmark name....
But wouldn't that require that Futuremark, Remedy and Bitboys merge and re-create Futurecrew?
I always thought madonion was a great name. It's one of those names you notice and wonder "what the heck do they make?" Futuremark sounds so generic and corperate. Makes me think of guys in suites, while "madonion" sounds interesting and like it has a story behind it. I'm kinda sad to see the change.

That exactly what I was thinking
Wasn't it their public relations department headed by Nathan Harley based in Toronto that came up with MadOnion name? And isn't that the same department that got canned over a year ago? Without that marketing department I suspect that's why they went back to their original name. Kind of interesting that they waited this long.
I always asked what the hell they were thinking when they came up with that name. But changing back? Somehow I believe if you keep changing your name, then nobody will know who you are. However, they are in a niche market. So changing your name doesn't do much good since every one of their customers knows who they are anyways. Unless they see themselves expanding their products and services to markets and customers they haven't targeted before. They also could be planning on going public and need to be take seriously by the corporate community. Or better yet maybe they are planning on merging with another company. Maybe not Remedy or BitBoys, but maybe BAPCo or Survey.com. Any or all of these ideas could be a real possibility. You never know with those Fins.

Any one remember back in late 90's, when we started seeing an array of products poping up with the letters "2000" tacked on to the beginning of the name to make it sound new and exciting? Most of them sounded pathetic at best.
Well FutureMark reminds me of those products. Not a good sign imo.
