Can’t believe that theyve got the same photo of Warren Brown that is on Unit Silenced..it seems rather lazy and moreover he looks really out of place...hmm maybes it’ll grow on me.

I mean... it's not really all that surprising. They usually reuse that one picture of James Joyce for every release that he's in...

All the people photos look out of place they all seem too far forward, still the story concept intrests me so that's the most important thing.

It's an atrocious cover - when it was leaked and written off as fan-art, the consensus was it wasn't even good fan-made work. All the floating heads being cut outs but the Sontaran being in a bubble one of the many "oh dear..." choices on it. Still....books, covers and all that.

Terrible cover, especially the main background colour. Insipid.

I'm not all that thrilled with the cover design myself, but I've seen worse. Besides, I bought this release for Michelle Ryan and the writer lineup, not how good it'll look in my downloads folder.

Let’s face it, the cover is terrible, cheap & uninspired.
How did this get through the approvals process, did someone have an eye infection!
It reminds me of these covers for the main range at the start......they looked like real world cut n paste jobs, with all the tech we have now this should be better.
Let’s hope that you still cannot judge a audio drama by its cover.

That's certainly not among Big Finish's best covers.

Tracey Whiles played by Jacqui McGee? Does that mean there will be a story set in the Land of Fiction? (I'm ignoring the stray 'h'...)

The cover has been updated to reflect the new logo change. I really like it actually, it’s subtle and not as intrusive. I’ve always felt that the likes of River Song and UNIT have such a strong and established history in Doctor Who anyway that having such a large “From the Worlds of Doctor Who” logo feels unnecessary, so I’m guessing they’ll change at some point. www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/lady-christina-1829

Should we assume then that it's September when the new logo will be implemented? Or earlier, since, apart from the short trips, they haven't revealed any of the Doctor Who (or worlds of) covers from July onwards? The Titan comic with 7 is out in June and that has the new logo, although BF might be different.

The Series 9 Soundtrack release has the new logo, and that's out 10 days, yet there's plenty of Big Finish set for release over the next couple of months that don't have it. Then there's the Titan Comic, like you said. I think it's mostly going to be an 'implement it at your earliest convenience' type deal

Yes, I definitely think it’s a case of “implement it at your earliest convenience”, especially for Big Finish, who have so much output with varying reveals of turnaround, product and covers before release.
Ideally, an ongoing set like, say, Ravenous would have debuted with the new logo and the following 3 will follow suit. Alas, the timings of that were off, so it’ll probably debut with the second set.
The Diary of River Song 4 will most probably have the little “From the Worlds of Doctor Who” in the corner as the cover for that has yet to be released. I’d imagine UNIT will follow suit with set 7. I was surprised they didn’t implement a new logo for Cyber Reality, as they changed that cover slightly earlier on.

I imagine BF will want the changeover of logos to happen for everything at the same time, rather than having some new releases with the old logo and some with the Whittaker one.

ETA: I'm so excited, can't wait to see how the new template/design for the individual CDs (MR et al.) looks.

A few casting tidbits from the "obscure BF news" thread: Rebecca Yeo plays Malia, and Suzy Bloom is Tamarind in the ep "Skin Deep" (a check of recent Twitter follows indicates Yeo might also be in that ep, which we can presume is the Slitheen one) notthebigfinishforum.freeforums.net/post/147407
