|||
ABC oftens advertises the name of the show, "GREEK," with the Greek letter "''Sigma''" to spell the title ''GR'''ΣΣ'''K'' (since Sigma resembles an [[E]] in the [[English alphabet|English]]/ [[Latin alphabet|Latin/]]) instead of [[Epsilon]], which is much the same in appearance and function as '''E'''. When spelled in this fashion, the show's logo actually spells ''GR'''SS'''K'', since Sigma is the Greek letter equivalent of the English/Latin [[S]]. This practice is comparable to that of [[faux Cyrillic]] and [[foreign branding]]. |
