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

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. We’ll find out in November next year. I’m not going to bore the other members by continuing a circular discussion. I’m ok with being wrong about speculations on a tv show but I’ve also seen enough things I was a fan of go bad because they became so popular that they “had” to be interfered with to make them “better.” I get that Tennant is coming back but he really doesn’t have to be the lead to my way of thinking: it suggests that the producers don’t have enough faith in Gatwa as a lead to carry the show on his own. Coming straight after the first female lead, I just have some concerns.

So, when we get to the Moffatt 2 era will the neon logo come back?

I quite like the half crescent version of the "new" logo too. A new BBC Books original audio 12th Doc story..with Maureen O'Brien reading...and that logo. Woulda all seemed a bit odd till recently! Awful cover though apart from that...a dog's dinner. But I like the logo cutdown.

Have Big Finish made any announcement regarding what logo they will be using going forward? I’d assume they’ll just switch over to current one when opportunity presents, as they did the Chibnall eta.

RTD said there won't be an edict for the merch to switch over when a fan was concerned the blurays would lose the unform look so I wonder if it'll be case by case. BF's old school with a modern twist feel kinda means the new logo is a better fit than most would be though.

I mean it's fine that they're using it for the 60th anniversary. But I just don't like that they seem to be using it for everything else too. Like I see many people comment that they like the new logo, but I simply can't share that sentiment . Also I really really don't like how it looks on some of the updated big finish logos. I don't know, it just looks cheap to me in comparison to the old logo and the square format of the logo bothers me for some reason. Maybe, I'm simply way too young to appreciate them reusing an old logo, but I hope they stop using it after the 60th anniversary and just create a brand new logo for the new era...
