via the BBC, episode "Journey's End"
Well, my little Whovians, you won’t be seeing double anytime soon because if you missed it the first time around (like I did), the BBC has come out with a new logo to usher in the era of Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor.
Everyone knows the orange & black Doctor Who logo. It looks like this science fiction, all seeing eye, reminiscent of Sauron from Lord of the Rings. It’s also synonymous with the 10th Doctor.
Well, with the exit of David Tennant (have I told you how foolish I think David is? grr), Steve Moffat and the folks in the art department of the BBC have decided to really stay true to “out with the old and in with the new.”

Behold! View the logos through time, my dear little sonic screwdrivers:-

David Tennant’s Doctor Who
Matt Smith’s Doctor Who
While I do love the old logo, because I’m very accustomed to it, I like the new logo too and I think it’s really snazzy!
The idea of clean crisp colors with shades of purple, blue, grey and cold white is very swanky and very sci-fi. The font (no idea what it’s called, if you know, do tell) is thick and in block letters, which is very retro with a contemporary spin.
But most of all, I love how they used the TARDIS, the Doctor’s space ship, and turned it into a logo.
Thoughts? Cool? Lame? Could care less?
