 Assuming this will apply to future BF DW releases too, I wonder if they’d still bother with the era-appropriate alternative covers for Tom Baker stories. I guess it’s still different enough to necessitate that. |

See I wanted them to stick with the Jodie era one but then they changed back to my absolute favorite Doctor Who logo instead! So I can't complain!

I am just saying that I am happy it's getting a warm reception.
This very logo was leaked, with 3 variations, two weeks ago and it was mentionned on the 60th's thread but reading it again it was never actually posted there.
Here is the leak
Sorry for the confusion

I really like the updated return of the logo, that for me was Doctor Who.
I am already happily imagining it on Big Finish’s limited edition, luxury box set to commemorate Doctor Who*s 60th Anniversary.
But the change of a logo always makes me concerned as to when they will change it and implement that change.
I am still annoyed over the Eighth Doctor Time War set changing after the first release. Can see that Big Finish have change it on the website - I wonder if you order the 1st box set now if the packaging has been changed? I remember asking at the time if replacement slip cases could be sent and was simply told no.
So for any existing series I am concerned that the logo will change mid-run. And this concern includes the Blu-ray collection sets.

So I work with a guy who was born/raised in UK. He was around 10-12 years of age when Season 1 Episode 1 Who aired.. I showed him the new logo and then compared with the classic era logo.. He just smiled... He is the only person I personally know who was around to see the very 1st episode on tv back in '63.  |

Very nice! Feels classic and fresh at the same time. They nailed it.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

I don’t like it. I get that it’s a diamond anniversary, but this plus the recast of Tennant and the move to Disney just feels like a naked grab at nostalgia and cash. Mt brain is calling it a great move for the show but my heart is not 100% behind it. I think I’d probably be happier if it wasn’t a Disney exclusive: that’s my biggest reservation.

This is only a streaming deal. No creative control from Disney. Because a big part of watching Who for me has always been that the show has changed as time has gone on and it has only ever looked backwards/inwards when it is celebrating itself (anniversaries), or continuing a story from the past. Making a past Doctor’s return for a set of episodes a focus and then cementing it with the return of the logo feels disrespectful to the actors and producers who have worked on it since Tennant was the Doctor, particularly Whittaker and Chibnall because it feels like a slap in the face to what they have achieved to go back to what was “popular” straight away after their tenure. It feels manipulative and cynical to do this, even for an anniversary. I will be happy to be proved wrong, and I suspect I will because RTD usually keeps something up his sleeve, but my initial reaction is one of concern. I’m also wary of the deal with Disney due to concerns I have raised elsewhere, namely a) needing a subscription to watch our show is not something I’m happy about, b) my concerns about future dvd releases and c) Disney may only want streaming rights but they have form on interference with products that disagree with them politically. |

Tennant is only returning for RTDs trio of anniversary specials. As for other points a) I understand this but it happens to us in the UK all the time with shows imported from USA etc. b) this is a streaming deal not sure how it impacts on dvd sales. c) if they only have streaming rights they can't interfere in the product, in this case Doctor Who. |
