not missing much on the video anyways, just a montage of the previous logos, all very nice, seems like the website has put alot of work into this announcement of an announcement, is Moffatt making them that bored for news?

No, it's more that in the UK people seem quite interested in every little detail regarding Doctor Who. DW Confidential drew huge ratings when it announced the new Doctor. And the change of logo is considered a big deal, just as it'll be a big deal if the theme music is given a new arrangement. It was big news when we saw the first photos of Smith's costume and when we found out that the new companion has a last name. It'll also be big news when we get the first official images of the redesigned TARDIS interior.

Save for maybe Star Trek I really don't know of any US series that generates this level of intense interest. I mean, if Desperate Housewives introduced a new logo or a new piece of theme music, or one of the Wisteria Lane houses got a new coat of paint, do you think anyone would care? In the UK, however, the fact Matt Smith's TARDIS has the St John's Ambulance sticker on the door again is news.

I am very much aware of Doctor Who Confidential, as I watch it, however I think the thing with the logo is that we have nothing else to discuss at the moment.

Reaction to Karen has been more :drool: than debate, I dont consider a new logo a big deal, but in absent of anything else to discuss, I will have an opinon on it.

and Desperate Housewives is not a part of US TV history & culture, like Doctor Who is for UK, its near impossible for a show to be as bigger part of US popular culture (expect maybe Star Trek) as Doctor Who is for UK culture.

Oh, I tell you what (sorry, not read any other replies) - I would GLADLY settle for something like this. This is basically what I'm hoping/expecting!
 
Man, new logo as well? Didn't Moffatt say in an early interview that he wasn't going to make that many changes? I think he's officially broken JNT's Leisure Hive record. :D

Same. There are a few small details I don't care for, but I really like the more stately, darker feel.
 
^ Meh. Underwhelming. It doesn't look retro, it just looks old-fashioned. It doesn't have any energy, any "umph" to it.
 
I turned it to a link just to be on the safe side. Silly, I know, but that's the side on which we err.

I think this logo certainly looks better than the current one.
 
I love it precisely because it looks old-fashioned. The DW forming the TARDIS is a nice touch.
 
I guess I'm in a minority because my first thought was that it just looked underwhelming. I guess I prefer the one they are using now, which looks cooler. Going to take a little time to get used to. And the DW on the tardis actually reminds me of Darkwing Duck for some reason.

It'll be interesting to see if it's all going to be used as one logo or if they use them separately. But I like the old-fashioned feel to it.
 
Here we are, then...

Thanks! :)

I'm liking it. It's got a subtle retro look as far as the lettering goes, with what looks like brushed metal to make it somewhat modern, too.
 
Eh. It's not doing it for me. It's not bad, but it's not good, either. It's just kind of...there. Give me the Davies' era logo any day.
 
I'm assuming we'll only see the wording in the credits rather than the DW, its a nice touch making it look like a Tardis, but it does have that designed by an ad agency feel about it (but frankly so did the oval). It's growing on me, and I do like the simplicity of it. Now I just wanna see it in the titles so we can see how they look/what the music sounds like.
