Apparently today Random House and Penguin have merged... they will now be called "Penguin Random House".

Original.

Could have been worse..."Random Penguin house" sounds kinda weird though.

[ravan]

Or just "Random Penguin" - much more interesting.

[poulpette]

Could have been Random House Penguin. Which would have been hilarious :D

[unseelie]

i would have preferred your suggestion. =D

[moropus]

I like yours best.

Still cross they didn't go with Random Penguin. How could you not?

Yeah, when it was announced I was totally for House of the Random Penguins.

I think Random Penguin would have been unique. Or shortened down to PenRan or RanGuin. :)

I get some Japanese vibe out of this new name, however, yeaah, it doesn't sound very well.
+1 for Random Penguin as well

Wow. I haven't laughed this hard in a loooong time. I love the thought of it being named Random Penguin House or Random House Penguin... *falls off chair laughing*

You know, I kinda don't care what kind of books they're going to put out. Might have to buy a couple just for giggles. XDDDD
