Wait, they've changed a superficial aspect of the program?

DOCTOR WHO DIED FOR ME TODAY! THE "MOFF" HAS RUINED DR WHO FOREVER!!!

Amen, brother!

I've already read at least one comment like that, which was serious!

I know: how dare the BBC rip apart the last couple of years of a 40-year franchise?

Think someone got their hands on a photoshop filter and didn't know when to stop?

[cdave]

Yep.

I like the left side...

I do kinda like the idea of the TARDIS logo, but I'm not convinced by the execution.

I think it's awesome. There are references in there to the very first Doctor Who logo, I'm sure deliberately (as they've gone back to the very original TARDIS design and Matt Smith's first promotional photos had all kinds of nods to the first Doctor).

I'm really looking forward to the new series next year. Well, to be honest, I would be anyway, but they seem to be consciously building on the backstory, mythology and design ethos of the whole run. Which is fun.

Strangely, Wikipedia doesn't seem to have a collection of all DW logos to date. Wasn't the first logo pretty much just the text in white?

Not sure I like this. It somehow feels amateurish.

Perhaps it might look better on tv? Or animated?

[kynn.livejournal.com]

I hope when animated, the tardis rotates and the light flashes.

[recycled-sales.livejournal.com]

Approved.

It's out of context, so it's just fine really. We'll see when the show airs and how they use it.

I should imagine it's mostly the left hand side (credit sequence) with only the right hand side for eye catching promo ads.

Let's be frank: we've seen far worse.

[andrewducker]

Yeah - I'm not grabbed by it yet - but it doesn't offend me, and I'll happily wait to see it in action.

First of all: it's not the previous logo. That earns it brownie points already.

I really like the Tardis logo. And I expect the logo animated looks much better than a still.

The question is, will they have the courage to revamp the Tardis vortex effects?
