Behold The New
Merrick here...Per a press release on the matter:
www.bbcamerica.com/doctorwho . The logo is the eleventh to have been used on screen in the show’s history.
Accompanying the logo at BBCAmerica.com is an animated insignia of the show’s initials, which will be used as branding for the new series in conjunction with the logo.
About the new logo Steven Moffat, the new Lead Writer and Executive Producer said:
“A new logo. The eleventh logo for the eleventh Doctor - those grand old words, Doctor Who, suddenly looking newer than ever. And look at that, something really new - an insignia! DW in TARDIS form! Simple and beautiful, and most important of all, a completely irresistible doodle. I apologise to school notebooks everywhere, because in 2010 that's what they're going to be wearing.”
Maybe. But any kid owning a notebook wearing that logo will most likely have the shit beaten out of them for it, so don't expect this fashion trend to last too long.
Here's what he's talking about!
