Like I said before, onscreen, all Bessie stories are also UNIT stories. Of the two, though, UNIT is clearly the more dominant presence, having appeared in all but two Pertwee stories.

If you're looking for indisputable Third Doctor, you've gotta do a ruffled shirt.

The pocket watch analogy doesn't apply here because you were trying to use it to represent a Doctor it actually doesn't represent much at all. And, well, there's no real comparison between jelly babies and scarf as to which more clearly represents the Fourth Doctor era, is there? Even you said a scarf was the way to go.

Yes, I do agree. I'm just applying your logic. You're right; the only indisputable one would be a ruffled shirt, but that would probably be much harder to clearly represent. In my mind, the UNIT logo and Bessie can be seen equally as far as representing Three. While the UNIT one frankly looks more like a snow tube with the letters "U," "N," "I," and "T" on it, any one of the Bessies can be seen as a car. The first one is instantly recognisable as Bessie specifically. (though, I've been told, instantly is disputable. Not for the select few.)

I want other people to have a go at Three, see if they can produce something better. March is slowly running out and we should try and concentrate on this one Doctor so that we can get the new logo up and... sitting there... as soon as possible.
