What are your thoughts?

What's really sad is that it took FIVE people to work on it!!!!
And how will it look on the DVd's?? Stick to the classic one that they
revamped for McGann.

don't know how it will look on book covers, but the key to it's success is
how it fits into the title sequence.
Overall 5/10 I think.

Excellent! At least they spelled it right and it has a nice redish/orangish
background. I've always liked that. That and blue. And pink. Oh yes -
gotta love the pink.

Um. Disappointing? The lettering is some bog standard font and it's got an
annying background behind it that only serves to distract.

Hrm... awful. But I doubt it's The One because it matches the
description in Production Notes (in Doctor Who Magazine number 346) of a
rejected logo;
-----
A few weeks ago, in a strange fit of sci-fi-blockbusterness, Julie, Phil
and I all pounced on a different logo- a big, bold, brassy 80s number,
in glowing gold. Madness! Look, we were tired.
-----
And it doesn't match the description quoted in
http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?selm=200410052123179315%25stuartburns%40blueyondercouk
, not that that matters much.
Oh, why does it need a new logo? Like having a new Doctor, I see it as
an unnecessary change.

Well, on the bright side, it does look suitably retro. A sort of
old-fashioned futuristic style. Pretty much captures the who
old-fashioned yet futuristic feel of DW. Yeah, it could work as the DW
logo.
OTOH outside of a DW context, judged solely on its merits as a piece of
artwork, it's crap.

Simple text is never a bad idea, but what's with the firey eye?
It invokes more Sauron than Doctor Who.
I think they would have been wiser to do the text without background, in a
TARDIS blue.

As a logo by itself, it kinda sucks. But if you watch it as part of an opening
sequence it just may work fine.

Just because lens flare is *common* doesn't mean it shouldn't be used; if
anything it's more appropriate here in the context of space travel, SF etc.
Maybe when we've seen it used for five years we'll all get nostalgic and
claim how we always loved it from the beginning...

Instant reaction was Nice background but poor font.
Looking at the bigger version
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/newtv/whospy/logo2005.html
it seems to look a lot better, though I still think the font could
have been lees bland, perhaps an old gothic style for "Doctor" and an
ultra modern style font for "Who" to show the 2 extremes of time
travel...
I think it will grow on me eventualy.

Logically (Captain) the Eye of Sauron is the Eye of Sauron; this is
something else. You might as well say that an orange on a stall in your
local market is the Eye of Sauron, they have as much in common. As for "Why
blue", why *not* orange?

I like it too -- sometimes less is more. However, the intricate
background leads me to suspect that the opening sequence will be some
sort of vast orange starfield which then dilates into what we're
seeing as the logo. I have a feeling we're seeing it out of context.
Regardless, I give it a thumbs up!

In fact, the first thing *I* thought was "Someone's seen 'Sky

And yes, I was expecting blue as well. Breaking expectations is good.

I agree. I'm very impressed (and relieved.) Unlike the Doctor's
costume, which to me feels utterly at odds with the character of the
show, this feels perfectly right. A bit retro, a bit art deco. I like
it. It's also a bit of a break with tradition. Am I right in thinking
that this is the first time that the word "Doctor" has not appeared

It is better than:
the McCoy logo.
the neon Davison/Colin Baker logo
the Hartnell logo.
the Troughton logo.
It is NOT better than:
the diamond Pertwee/Baker logo
the Pertwee/McGann logo.
So it seems that it is more better than worse.

Exactly. I was amazed how people are beginning to revise their opinion of
the typographic crimes of the 80's just because those logos are established
and this one is new. Being a fan is to a large extent about nostalgia, but
it's no good to us if it clouds our vision of what's happening now, or about
to happen.

Thank goodness, at last. The UK is so slow at moving to better systems. It's
taken a decade or so to move from 4:3 to 16:9 (and many new programmes are still
made in 14:9, a compromise ratio).
Mind you, that's bad but it could be worse. It's been 3 decades or so since
metrication started and some people still insist in working in archaic imperial
units (inches, feet, yards, miles, fluid ounces, pounds, stones and other
bizarreness)!

You may be looking at rear projection and/ or HDTV sets. PAL is much better than
NTSC so many countries aren't as motivated to adopt HDTV at the same time as
wide-screen. Our wide-screen TVs are usually traditional CRT PAL sets because
nothing yet matches the picture quality of a CRT (with decent electronics
driving it).
Rear projection and plasma displays are becoming popular for larger sizes (over
100cm diagonal), while LCD is becoming popular for smaller sizes (under 50cm
diagonal). CRT rear projection is cheap and adequate, LCD rear projection is
good but expensive (I suspect only Sony make them) while DLP rear projection is
becoming a viable option (I have no opinion of them yet).

As in currency?
Since it has already been changed from similarly archaic Pounds, Shillings and
Pence to decimal Pounds and Pence (note: uses the same base ten system which
underpins metric) I am quite happy to keep the Pound.
Of course, if we used the Euro, like the vast majority of the countries I visit
regularly, then it would be much more convenient for me personally (no need to
lose money while exchanging it). I'm sure we could adopt the Euro as a currency
without losing much, or any, of our economic independence.
> At least you know someone is a fatty if they weigh 23 stone. ;)
Are they? I have no idea. The stones I can see weigh various amounts, and 23 of
them doesn't seem to weigh much.
However, I know I'm a fatty at a few kilos less than 100 :-( .

Of course, if telly manufacturers didn't make those ugly widescreen sets
in the first place, then everything could still be made in the proper
4:3 set and could be viewed properly on proper telly-shaped TV sets and
we wouldn't need to waste our money buying new ones for no good reason.
Ok, Ok, widescreen sets might be useful for obsessive movie buffs who
want to see modern cinemascope films on their TV sets. But it's just
ugly and pointless for the rest of us. Why should we all have to
upgrade our sets just for the sake of a handful of anal obsessives?
Telly-shaped sets were good enough when I was a kid. How come they're
suddenly not good enough any more?

Not forgetting saving jobs. Which is what Richard Dyson said before shutting
his factory and moving the work to the far east. A place that I'm sure
doesn't have the Euro.

Animal Logic, Insect Design... It's cockroaches! Cockroaches are
dominating the field of SF TV logotype design! Cockroaches wearing
GLASSES, hence all the lens flares.
I rather like the color, although there's too much negative space
beyond the sun-flare-orange biconvex lens. And the lens pinches the
"D" and "O" at the ends. It could work across the top of paperback
books, in a smaller frame; but I assume it'll be animated in some way
for TV.

No more so than vertical human actors. If they wanted to have the
classic Police Box Scooting Through Swirly Time-Space Vortex effect,
we'd simply see... more of the vortex. To the sides. Where all the
other time-travelling home furnishings have previously been hiding.
(The other time-travellers had been tossing rubbish into the Vortex,
and then somebody dropped a lit cigarette. FWOOSH. Time! Itself! Is
