New Doctor Who logo revealed

Well, that looks remarkably retro. I know theres a few people who are still not sure on the new bloke, but I'm remaining optomistic, from the small glimpses of the new set up we have seen.

Hmmm... Well I would like to say 'they changed it and now it sucks' but it doesn't look that bad. I can't imagining it spinning around in a time vortex in the opening credits though.

No more brass? That's a shame.

It's quite a good logo though. Will this mean there'll be a new Tardis set too? they both used the same style and colour scheme, so if one changes...

If they do change the TARDIS set, as long as they acknowledge a change has occurred in the show, I'll be happy.

They acknowledged the previous change in Time Crash, so I don't see why they wouldn't this time.

The DW thing can do the spinning around, before it stops and the DOCTOR WHO thing in retro font caps appears! I like it, it looks very 80s!

I think it has been rumoured that there'll be a new interior. I love the current one, but I'd quite like to see something in shiny steel that reflects this, or otherwise retro - one along the classic lines but done as a standing set with modern quality could also be very nice. I'm with Vympel though, I'd like to see it change on screen, preferably in a long shot in whatever montage he picks his new clothes.

I never really liked the "old" new logo, so I think this one is great: pretty much a modern interpretation of the original 1963-66 title.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they also changed the opening visuals to something just as retro.

If they did that I'd kind of like it if they changed the theme as well, if only because the orchestration is way too bombastic.

I really liked the opening theme from S1 to S3. It got more annoyingly bombastic to me from "Voyage of the Damned" onwards. The 2005 logo was alright I suppose, it caught the eye and seemed akin to the Farscape logo, but I prefer the 2010 logo already and it seems more like the logo for the ill fated 1996 TV movie.

This is the best thing I've seen about S5.

At least I'll enjoy the first 42s? :)

No...the 1996 movie logo was a direct copy of the 1970 logo. The 2010 logo is like a modernization of the 1963 logo: it's got the same composition and proportions.

I can imagine the part on the left going through the vortex, but not the whole thing.

The logo flying through the vortex is retro. It's been part of the Doctor Who opening since the '70s.

The 1970 logo, the 1996 logo (exactly the same font and proportions to the 1970 logo), and finally the 2010 logo (which seems to be a cross between the 1996 logo and 1963 one).
