Ooh, hey, it turns out it was my company who designed the new Doctor Who logo. Should have realised that before, actually, but the office monkeys have less than nothing to do with the creative media types, especially us in Glasgow.
I like the logo (and I said so before I found out it was my company, too). Shiny and kinda retro - the font is a bit reminiscent of the very first logo. With added lensflare, because lensflare is now compulsory. I'm assuming they'll use the two parts separately, as the title card and the logo, and I like the video version. Lots of people getting upset about it, as usual, because it's Doctor Who and you Can't Change Things. Except everything ever, all the time, because that's the whole point of the show. (Also, people are saying that the new logo is a spoiler. WTF, people?)
Filming photos for the 2010 series are interesting. Cautious optimism coming from here.

I'm not too keen on the current one, it's a bit messy for me, so I like the smoothness of this better.
I want to say that this logo doesn't know if it's retro or modern. But -- perhaps with Matt Smith being 12 but dressing like an OU professor, that's the theme?
I'll take a logo I don't like that much over RTD's awful scifi anyway.
Aargh.
Saw a photo from the set (on the bbc news website, iirc). Matt Smith looked pretty good, though I have high hopes for his flame-haired companion. :-)
It's weird that "a TV show is shooting" is news now.
The logo's okay. I guess we'll just have to get used to it. It does look a little like someone was having too much fun with Photoshop tutorials when they came up with it though ;-)
Looks kinda like they took the 1964 logo and put it through 3/4 of Photoshop's effects, yes...
But no. They complain about everything. It's their very reason for existing.
I'm surprised by how many people thought the new logo was actually going to be both logos onscreen at once. Seemed clear to me that the left-hand logo was for the series and the right-hand one a "condensed" branding logo for other purposes.
