| | Posted: | | | | I would consider the "007" to be a logo only and therefore wouldn't enter it as part of the title.
If at all I would do it the other way round "007: Skyfall". But this would only make sense if "007" would be the (more or less) official name of the franchise. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

007 should not be included as part of the title of James Bond films. This has been something that people have long tried to get into the database, even from the early days. The Italian contributions that changed this should not have been accepted. It is possible that Ken feels otherwise, but from my work throughout the years, 007 has never been appropriate for the James Bond films.
It is just a symbol on the cover of the DVD/BluRay, it is not part of the title, IMO.

| | Posted: | | | | Now we've got *that* settled, let's look at the bigger issue, shall we?  Based on the cover, shouldn't the DVD Title be SkyFall? Isn't there clearly a bigger "F"? Before you answer, think about how you've entered GoldenEye...  | | | | Last edited: by T!M |

| | Posted: | | | | Just Skyfall. (I'm trying not to spoil anything, so I'll just say if you've seen the film, you will know it's not two words).
(However, with this logic, Goldeneye/GoldenEye should be only one word too). | | | | Last edited: by GreyHulk |

GoldenEye is one word, too, yet we enter it as such, because the "E" is somewhat accented. The "F" is somewhat accented here as well. What's the difference? I'm not trying to argue here, I'm just trying to understand. |

The correct title for this BD should be "Skyfall 007", I think, or simply "Skyfall"? "Skyfall 007 007". | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |

| | Posted: | | | | Not really sure about the capitalization of the F myself. I guess it could go either way.
Another good reason not to include the 007: Casino Royale would be "Casin0 R0yale 7" | | | My DVD/Blu-ray Collection

Looking at this some more, the F isn't necessarily bigger. It just extends down a little further. The top is in line with the other letters (except the S) and it's the same thickness as the others as well. So whether it's to be considered a capital or an extra flourish, who knows? :D | | | My DVD/Blu-ray Collection
