Hugo Gernsback, who started publishing Amazing Stories in 1926, proposed the name "scientifiction" for the writing that we call science fiction, or sci-fi.
This Sept. 1928 issue didn't sell well (the magazine mostly had action scenes on the cover), but I wish I had a wearable badge of the ink pen and compass with its gears of Fact and Theory, and Mars and the moon in the background.

Badge? I want the pen!
