  • after several decades of being of the air and several generations of actors. the makers of doctor who finally found the one thing that has the BBC legendary sci-fi comedy drama incomplete. a doctor who logo! @.@

  • Anyone have a link to a high quality version of this??

  • David was my favourite, I had only know him and Christopher so it was easy for him to be my favourite. Whenever a new doctor comes my family always go "Oh dear..." but soon enough we loved David. And me and my dad love Matt. He is so energetic its awesome

  • i think this would of been interesting if they kept the square logo, but the horizontal logo works aswell :)

  • THE BAG WHO PRESENTS THE BBC 4 GAME SHOW CONNECT WAS GOING TO BE THE NEW DOCTORS ASSISTANT.BUT THEY FOUND OUT SHE USED TO BE A MAN.

  • I comment way too much...

  • OK, I saw the first of Matt Smith's Doctor Who series and I kinda like. I guess this logo works with Matt whereas it wouldn't have worked with David, but then again the old logo wouldn't have worked with Matt, so everything works out just fine!

  • David is better then Matt, but Matt is awesome. David is EPIC THOUGH

  • @HadowFlames Right On!

  • so cool!!, old Doctor's logo style looks and sounds so alien... with those ligths... like an UFO...

  • Comment removed

  • This is epic. 

  • @Canabbseser Agreed.

  • i agree he is like the fifth doctor.

    only i can watch his episodes without cracking up at the awful effects.

  • Love this logo. I hope the BBC puts it on some T-shirts. Maybe women's style, ringer or baseball style, pleeeease, BBC?

  • @bitterspice Totally in the same mind-frame as you.

  • Lol, and to think of all the people with thumbs up'd comments saying that they hate it before the season even started.

  • Ilove this alot. Why didn't they think of it sooner

  • When I first saw Matt Smith's 1st ep I already liked him but I always knew he would be good anyone. This logo is definitely my favourite and so is the new theme.

  • Matt smith is like the fifth doctor if anything

  • Matt Smith is sounding more and more like the fifth doctor

  • i'm sorry but all in all, the new script writer being the main problem, it isn't great. The theme tune was wrecked and I have to say I get lost in the plot...alot...but back the the point the acting, I think, is just satisfactory, especially of the companions. The doctor is great but the script and companions and logo and music!!!! it doesnt work for me

  • Nice logo presentation. I give it two thumbs up.

  • The new Doctor ROCKS! I was starting to get a little bored of David but now I can't wait for Saturdays!

  • i love the new logo the old one was a secondthinker this one where the DW is shaped like a tardis is just very clever

  • um im not realy used to it, it just came at me like BOOM!!!!!

  • c00l. AWSM

  • I was complaining SO much about David Tennant leaving the show, its hard for me to recall everything negative I said.

    Man was I proven wrong last saturday...

    Matt was AMAZING...his first episode was leaps and bounds better than David's first episode... in fact it took me a while to warm to David...

    Stephen Moffatt= GENIUS ...the idea the Amy has gone travelling the day before her wedding = fabulous! cannot wait to see it develop

    strangely enough... I don't even mind the new logo anymore

  • .@jaldorian ye i agree with you the scripts r gettin alot more to do with the doctor and i think this series we are going to find out more of the doctor and what who and why he is who he isThats my fave line too 'Im the doctor and basically...Run'

  • However I think i'll have to get to grips with this new subtitle and theme tune. Great actor thugh Matt Smith and I hope he stays on for a long time and can't wait to see the weepin angels again there my fave monster. But what on earths goin on with the dalek thing. if u watch the coming soon bit look at the dalek it has a union jack and is green with bag of grenades round its side. since when were daleks workin for us??!!

    Can't wait to see next episode

  • I love the new logo it's great but i think i'm still having to get to like this new series.Well the first episode of the series has just started and thought it was amazing.

  • We did get to see all the doctors faces when Matt told the aliens 'is this planet a threat? is this planet protected? you better run' love it much more effective in the script than having it in the opening credits

  • The Creators are never going to listen to you. :p They may have already done the new theme now.

  • Don't bring the face back!  Just no!

  • I hope the new series doesn't go too old school and violent because I think that will alienate some of the younger viewers. Tennants doctor was family friendly but I'm not sure Matt's will be.

  • Put it this way, the lead writer's Stephen Moffat.

    ... Yeah, that guy.

  • @Purplchick He is, i saw the first episode and he is amazing. He was funny and cool on adult and child levels.

  • @emilybis888 Yeah I saw it too and was also impressed! Good choice of doc I think :P

  • love the new logo. simple but effective. i do hope the new credits are all change to the in your face names from the eccleston/tennant era. I'd personally like to see the face of the doctor back and better yet a quick morph of all doctors before settling on matt smith. another idea would be to close in on the tardis opening in space and matt smith. end credits would see the reverse and the doors closing and leaving tardis in distance

  • @ceejay75

    lets just hope to god that the theme tune doesnt change and i hope they use the DW tardis logo becasue that looks cool

  • personally piplup i prefer the 80s dr who theme under the peter davison doctor but i can't see them using that again for Matt Smith. Like i said i just hope they bring the face back. They've stopped doing them for the past 2 doctors and got lazy with just the credits

  • Besides slight alterations to audio levels on different instruments here and there, the song itself has always been pretty consistant. There's no reason to change it 47 years in.

  • It'll grow on me.... I hope they don't change the titles too much though...

  • bring the face back! thats one major change they should change!

  • Interesting! I'll miss the flaming surfboard thing, I'm sure, but this is nice. *approves* The sound is great.

  • I like it better with the sound effects I'll admit, I was not totally sold on the police box logo, but the sound makes it...

  • This logo reminds me of the old

    series, hmmmmm.....

  • I really can't wait for this! See my channel for my Doctor Who animation with all Eleven Doctors!

  • Does anyone perhaps know the font of the new Logo? It looks stunning!!!!!!

  • now why does this remind me of the 6th doctor?

  • @ Whattheheheck136

    the color perhaps?

  • If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

    C'mon BBC, I love your programming but the previous Doctor Who logo was significantly better than the new one

  • This new logo is a little plain but you can't judge a book or Tardis by it's cover.

  • it going to be good coz this a buid up for the real logo

  • I love it.

  • What the hell is it?! First you hear Steve is taking over and it's all praising God and alleluia's, then he makes a couple of decisions you disagree with and suddenly he's evil incarnate. I wouldn't mind hearing what some of the comments were when Hinchcliffe took over. Or better yet, when Tom Baker was first introduced as the Doctor. Stupid little fucker with the puffy hair and the stupid scarf. I tell you, that man's going to ruin Doctor Who. He's not even that sexy looking.

  • TheGizmofromPizmo: That has Gotta Be The Best Comeback EVAR, ULTRA MEGA SUPER LOL

  • @TheGizmofromPizmo who cares it does not matter about the looks you tennant fan!!

  • i hate the new logo

  • I liked the other logo

  • It is a shame the 9/10 logo will be gone, but the show is about change. I wonder what the intro or theme will be like.

  • The intro, the music, everything has changed... new Doctor, new producer, new writers... but that's the joy of Doctor Who, literally everything can change, and yet it's exactly the same :)

  • I don't much like this new logo, they changed a lot, but i will get use to it, and most liekly will love it. So if the logo is diff, do you think the intro is to?

  • I feel that doctor who has changed forever I dont know why tell me if any of you feel the same

  • @JonTStudios

    WOO LET'S CHANT

    lol

  • @JonTStudios sigh you are judging the new series by it's logo and wait until you have seen the first episode to judge matt smith

  • get a grip. Doctor Who has changed in so many ways over the years, and it will for countless more, so shut yer trap and get a grip.

  • @JonTStudios MOVE ON!!!!

  • The series 4 theme music was perfect, please don't change that.

    If the BBC change absolutely everything, its not even going to feel like doctor who anymore.

    But yeah, the logo looks good. No sure which I like better though.

  • no its the same theme but update and bit of old in it

  • this logos better

  • i like last seasons Doctor Who logo better.

  • I'm beginning to like this logo. I have a feeling Matt may be better than David. It took me until series 3 to like David Tennant, but I like Matt Smith already.

  • @dogpup4 me to, i really liked david but matts got that eccentric edge that none of the other doctors had

  • @TheHiggledypiggledy Personally, I think each Doctor was awesome in their own right and had their own thing. I like them both the same except how 11th Doctor treated the woman in Cold Blood... And also David is SO the best Doctor to me ;D

  • @dogpup4 fuck off

  • @playthegamelike What the heck? What have I done to offend you? Plus that comment is over a year old..

  • @dogpup4 Sorry man, was in one hell of a bad mood this morning, kinda flipped out on anyone

  • what so they arent doin that orange one anymore??

  • YES.

    Keep the tine the same.

    But I LOVE this re-vamped "old-style" Doctor Who title!

    Just keep the tune, and it'd be great!

  • I like it--I won't deny I'm going to miss the other one--but I like it :)

  • i like it its ok but i like the old one better .and Matts costume does not work.but i do think Matt will be amasing:) still i will miss David he was my fav doctor.

  • It's a pleasing simple one, and I like the boxy DW item. (Favorite remains the McCoy era logo, however).

  • im not too keen on the new logo TBH dnt know why

  • I like the new logo, but the theme better stay the same dammit!

  • it looks like were going back to basics, i liked the old doctor and the old doctor who logo, whats was wrong with it? if it aint broke dont fix it!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i agree, i also didnt see till my friend pointed it out i do miss david but he did have a point go whilst everyone missed him, but also a stupid thing to do, at least he can watch it and not know what comes up next, its such a crappy logo

  • Totally agreed, Jamie.

  • Comment removed

  • @portraitpixels

    I don't think so. An RTD-era Dalek appears in episode 3, but we then get introduced to the new designs. So if it's appearing in series 5, albiet briefly, I doubt RTD took it away.

  • The designs belong to the bbc, not RTD.

    Matt Savage created the new look, so if the design belongs to anyone, its him :P

  • RTD has no claims to the Daleks or their designs.

  • @JamiePS3Howitt Well, you were right about most things. The logo's not two-tiered and the renegade and imperial Daleks, unfortunately, didn't return.

    Instead, we got Daleks that remind me of Power Rangers. I'm not incredibly fond of them, but they weren't Moffat's idea. The 2005-2009 ones were much more classic.

    I'm sure the Daleks will return to the original design one day, anyway. Looking forward to Series 6.

  • @mowingthefrontlawn I agree with you about the Daleks, but I gave everything else a chance and they worked out pretty well, so I guess I'll give these Daleks a chance to before I jump to conclusions or make assumptions...

  • @JamiePS3Howitt

    Sorry but go watch the Silurian two parter and Victory of the Daleks. If you still think it's a return to oldwho after that... just go back to watching Voyager.

  • im not keen on this starting again calling it series 1 lark

  • hey water244 calm down!

  • The logo works for me :) i have no idea why i havent beared grudges against anything in series 5 - because its all to my taste , wheras when david tennant became the doctor it took me more than one series to like him

  • @RegenerationStorm same here i watch all series two and three to like him and when i was done with four i was hoping for another season with tennat :'(

  • I hope they still have the time vortex and the tardis spinning around for the opening credits but a revamped one of course

  • i like the logo but now it sort of looks like doctor who is a fashion statement if some people know what i mean. its really good tho

  • VERY COOL

  • really? @Water244

    if your a #1 Doctor Who Fan then you shouldn't hate Matt Smith. I doubt you even know the first 8

    Doctors. I'm sick of people (Like You)

    Saying Matt Smith Sucks. I mean. I did like David

    but matt will be great

  • well,that was BEFORE i watched the preview. so stop woth the styrotype k????????????????

  • its two old

  • Y'know, it is very conceptual, and I really like that in a logo. And I think it does hearken back somewhat to that old-school Who feel.

  • I love DW but the new logo looks a bit old fashioned for me. Maybe it will grow on me like David Tennant did by

    mid-series 2.

  • It's a clever design. Admittedly, it rubbed me the wrong way when I first saw it, but once I got took off my fanboy glasses and looked at it the from a visual designer point of view, I learned to like it. Quite brilliant, really.

  • I don't know really, it's kinda cool.

  • I like the new logo

    :)

  • I will admit I am a DT fangirl and trying to accept Matt Smith is like trying to breathe underwater but I'm an even bigger DW fangirl so I'll have to try

  • Looks sweet!

    I can't wait for the new season to start! So far I liked what I saw of Matt Smith and I love Moffat as a writer.

    Doctor Who as only let me down once and that was the Martha-season or Martha as a character. So I'm quite positive that I'm gonna enjoy what's to come!

  • Logo changes are a staple of Doctor Who from the 1960's. It's just like regeneration. ;-)

  • I think that everyone is not liking any thing to do with this next series because its not david tennant

    I mean sure I love david tennant I loved him before he was the doctor and he was the greatest doctor there was

    even better than tom baker but only just

    but still better

    and I agree mat smith has a hell of alot to work up to big footsteps to follow

    but we have to give the guy a chance and the season/s with him

  • Everyone ? A small minority. If you head over to the Digital Spy forums you'll see that the majority of people are looking forward to him.

    It's only the David Tennent fan girls that REALLY don't want anything to do with Matt Smith. I loved David Tennent but it's time for a change.

    Many agree.

  • @bobsyboob

    Everyone? Not everyone is a David Tennant fangirl, you know.

    I would write a proper reply, but I just saw mikkyHILL wrote one I totally agree with. So... Well, I second his reply.

  • maybe for the actual credits, but as a promo logo it's not bad

  • Apparently episode one of the new series is called "Eleventh Hour"

  • I hope to God that that really is the new logo. You're not just pulling my leg are you. This logo looks soooooo much better than the previous one .... Wait a minute, I just checked the official site and they still got the ugly old one on it. So, is this really official?

  • Yes it is, this logo is the one that appears on the Series 5 trailer.

  • The logo TARDIS things kinda looks like it says "OW" ... just saying. =)

    I've very fondly nicknamed the 11th Doctor time as the "OW" Era.

  • I read they're changing the theme, but they better not mean the theme itself. Alter and new version, fine. But not get rid of THE running-since-the-60s theme.

    That's the shows soul, the Doctor Who theme. It can only be remixed and altered, but not removed.

    I hope they use the other version of the logo, though. The one layed out as Doctor (TARDIS thing) Who. It would suit an opening.

    This appears to be the "icon" version.

  • @XxXLucozadeXLoverXxX So business as usual, then?

  • i know

    why get rid of that?!

    they really are gonna fuck this up

  • It might be us misinterpreting what they said! By change the theme, they most likely mean the the version, not *the* theme.

    The theme is changed every series or Doctor, so they're most likely refering to that. New or remixed version, not an actual different theme all together... I hope.

  • As much as I love David Tennant (my favorite Doctor) he's ready for a change and quite frankly so is the show. I mean really, how much farther could he have taken it. It would have ended eventually anyways. I'm looking forward to seeing where Matt Smith takes the character, I think he's going to do a great job, he did good on the regeneration, very funny with the "still not ginger". As for the logo it looks nice I like it.

  • i really hope they dont change the tardis. how disappointing that will be. and sure hope the new doctor doesnt use guns, saw him holding one in the preview. man i will sure miss david he was a great doctor!

  • david has been and always will be, the best doctor

  • I like the idea that the entire show is getting a do-over. More acknowledgment of the classic series, and Moffat's writing. I do like the vertical logo a lot. Not much a fan of the clumpy one, but hey. Matt Smith looks amazing. I mean his acting. :P

  • If your changing the opening, AND the TARDIS, perfect for me.

  • im not saying i dont like matt i just miss david

  • i think noone will be as good as david tennant but we should still give matt a chance

  • The new logo has sort of a 60s/Art Deco feel to it, and I like it. Yeah, I said it. I like the new one. More so the DW that's designed to look like the TARDIS.

    The old one was nice but I'll be just as happy when the new series begins in the spring.

  • Gee, so many people getting so annoyed at a logo, for Christ's sake! It appears for maybe 10 seconds in the entire episode. It doesn't affect in any way the story or the acting. Matt Smith is going to be a great Doctor; why else would Stevenn Moffat have chosen him?

  • in the new titles, do u think they're gonna have that DW/Tardis thing or not?

    and are they gonna have the doctor who words stacked above each other, like:

    DOCTOR WHO

    or is it gonna be, like the 2005 one,

    DOCTOR WHO

    ???

  • @DWho42

    I've seen it be like the first option with the DW tardis thing next to it, but there's an alternative one that's the second option with the DW thing between the two words.

  • It's both. The Vertical Logo is more... design-friendly. But both logos will be used.

  • Old logo was better. This one looks like something from the 60's. Too dull. As for Matt Smith - anyone who judges him before watching at least one episode is unfair.

  • I am rather partial to the 2005 design, but the new one is kind of cool. It reminds me more of the old doctor who logo

  • wow. New doctor, expected, and he's okay.

    New tardis, new sonic screwdriver, new logo. I might stop watching.

  • @swimteamizzle1114

    ? The TARDIS, sonic screwdriver, logo and theme tune change all the time in Doctor Who!

    Why should this time be any different?

    I myself love the way Moffat is aiming for a more old-school style series. They even have classic gray and white/gold Daleks!

  • I dislike the logo

  • I approve of Matt Smith and Stephen Moffat.

    This logo however has me swaying.

  • i hope that they don't change the theme tune. give matt smith a chance. i like the new doctor who logo and i'm still a fan of david tennant.

  • The new logo and new doctor look gay

  • and you know what Gay looks like because???

    XDXDXD

  • Because they are smart arse

  • I like the old one to be honest, this one is a bitt too cheesy for my likingg,, I guess i will get used to it anyway x

  • It's not too bad. I don't mind it. I am Crazy over the last one though. I loved it flying past the screen at the end of every episode. There was something real about it. Like it was more then just a graphic. I doHope the tittle sequence stays the same. I always get goose bumps with the spinning TARDIS and when it changes direction into the other colorued vortex.

  • Brilliant!

  • I like the DW tardis. People are just scared of change. Although change is what has made this the longest running show ever.

  • I don't like the DW shaped as the TARDIS, to me thats cheesy and wrong.

  • hmm its good but i think the DW is a bit " cheesy" anyway... I think Matt is making doctorwho a bit 1980's because David Tennant brought Doctorwho up to date! now it fells like WE THE VIEWERS are going back in time! instead of him!

  • The Song May end..

    but the story never does

  • they may change the logo

    but they said they would never get rid of the theme tune

  • I like it. It reminds me of the old classical ones

  • I Like it :D

  • I hate it

  • Dont like it :(

  • i'll miss DT but good luck MS

  • The full "Doctor Who" bit is good, it reminds me of some of the original Doctor Who for some reason but I don't like the "DW" bit making the TARDIS, especially when it is sitting next to to the full bit.

  • The logo's okay really. Good for advertising but not very compelling and sci-fi as the old one.

    The old logo was really Sci-Fi to be honest and seem to follow the feel of the series this one is kinda like you took a step backward.

    To be honest, you guys should see the Sci-Fi channel's Doctor Who logo, a bit cliche but cool.

  • It's going to be interesting. I just wonder how the names are going to come in, or what type of doctor who theme music variation is going to be made. I think that there has been a different ones for almost all of em except the first three to four doctors. Gonna miss Tennant, but here's to the Matt Smith. I'm not bovvered yet.

  • I like it, the old one was good but this new logo symbolises Steven Moffat's Doctor who, one which is hopefully a lot darker and scarier (with minds on the weeping angels episode)

  • perferd the old one

  • Why have DW forming the tardis then have Doctor Who next to it i prefer the old one

  • There is a poetry to David's role as the Doctor.
