New Logo revealed

If it's legit, not "new" but the classic Pertwee/Baker model.

Me likey.

It's the official channel so I think we can take it as real - it's also used for the Doctor Who/Disney oct:

It'd be nice if they could revitalize the show. Here in the US it seems like it was in the zeitgeist during those 9/10/11 years. I'm not trying to make any statements about quality just that it was more visible.

Disney isn't always the best corporate overlord but it seems as good a fit as any for the show. Tonally Doctor Who feels at home next to the MCU at least in my mind.

I didn't live in the US during that time but just from social media, videos online, crowd reactions at conventions etc it seemed at it's top during the Matt Smith era. Which is totally understandable. It certainly deserves to hold onto that, no matter who plays the Doctor.

And it deserves to be up there standing tall with the likes of Marvel, Star Wars and Star Trek.
 
Only outside the US.

HBO Max still has the streaming rights to Modern Who in the US.

For the moment, perhaps. From the official announcement: "Disney+ to become new global home for upcoming seasons of Doctor Who outside the UK & Ireland, BBC continues as Doctor Who's exclusive home in the UK." https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2022/doctor-who-bbc-and-disney-branded-television

By the way, the Disney+ news is bigger than the new logo news. Should that be a separate topic, or should this one be renamed to reflect the whole big news item of which the logo is a part?
 
Does BBC America still get the show on top of D+? Y'know, for all the people who sill have cable or satellite.

D+, sounds like my average grade in school :lol:

I've heard this before though, was it only rumored/in the works before this?
 
I misunderstood the Disney+ part of this news, and deleted my post upon realizing this.

Steve Roby still somehow still quoted said post, though, so I'm officially retracting what I said here as being a misread.

As an aside, this sucks for HBO Max because it means that the BBC may have made a 'run around' their contract with Warner Bros. Discovery in order to do this deal with Disney since there had been no reported end-date for the HBO Max streaming deal.
