Talk:Doctor Who logo

Current logo
I have updated the main image to reflect the fact the new logo is now being used (DWM starts using it tomorrow, and the BBC is in the process of redesigning the website). That said, we still don't know for certain which version of the logo will be used on the TV show itself, so the present image may need to be changed to the horizontal version or even another variant once the show begins. For now we should just use the "vertical and TARDIS" version that was released by the BBC. 23skidoo 01:13, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

Font
Does anyone know what font the 2010 logo uses and if it is available anywhere? Tardis1963 09:47, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

Logo 11 variant
Although basically the same, the on-screen title card version of the logo has a number of noticeable differences, enough for the version launched in 2009 to be considered a variant. I added it back into the mix since the October 2009 "variant" is being widely used on merchandise such as DWM. The version that appears on screen, however, should remain the definitive version. 23skidoo 13:28, April 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, that's debatable. Don't know about "a number" of variations. There's only one; the size of the icon is larger in order to match the animation of the TARDIS itself. Whether we can call the texture of the thing an actual variant is less clear, in my mind. The reset of what you might be seeing simply is a trick of the eyes.  You're not used to it being on a light background so it looks a bit "thinner", but there's no actual difference in the font.
 * The whole section needs a top-down re-write, because information has simply been added as it has come along. It's basically a list of events as they happened, rather than a coherent history of the graphical device, written from the perspective of today.  Section really needs a picture of this "two level wording" logo, cause that bit's really quite confusing without actually seeing a picture.   Czech Out   ☎ | ✍  17:07, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also the grammar is atrocious. Several words repeated.  Several sentences are actually fragments.  Czech Out   ☎ | ✍  17:21, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think someone messed around with the section at one point because there certainly weren't these problems the last time I edited it. In any event, I gave it a tweak because there was some outdated information. I agree we need to include the two-level variant which was the version widely circulated back in October. I'll dig around and see if I can find it. Either way, my point still stands that there are at least three variants of the logo in circulation: the two-level version the BBC released in October, the blue-on-black version being used for the books, DWM and DWA, and now the see-through version being used on TV. Whether the lettering is thinner or not is irrelevant. 23skidoo 03:36, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, I added the 2-level variant image. I'm aware it carries a BBC watermark but it's the only version of this variant that I could find. If anyone has a non-watermarked version, feel free to replace it. 23skidoo 03:41, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
