For now we should just use the "vertical and TARDIS" version that was released by the BBC. [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 01:13, January 7, 2010 (UTC) |

Lettering won't work for Logo 12[]
The "Logo twelve a, b, c" etc isn't working. Since we know there will be at least 14 variants of the logo by the end of Series 7 and this may continue into Season 8 for all we know, it's too complex and, anyway, the basic logo is not changing other than the revision introduced in Asylum of the Daleks. Suggest instead a single "Logo Twelve" header to explain the basic changes and introduce the concept that the logo changes each episode, and then a gallery, with the captions explaining the changes under each image. Steal the template from one of the cover galleries for DWM or Radio Times. 70.72.211.35talk to me 17:38, October 9, 2012 (UTC)
Rethink this whole article![]
I think this entire article should be revised... it's turned into a page of titlecards, not logos. Case in point, the RTD era logo, the second "version" was in use from the beginning, but it was not changed in the titles until The Runaway Bride. They are not two separate logos though, the 05-06 one is just a variation of it.
Same with the Moffat logo. There have been three Moffat logos... the 2010-2012 DOCTOR DW WHO version, a variation being the version where DW is much larger than the rest of the text. The second is the blue DOCTOR WHO DW version, with BBC underneath, which was used from July to December 2012. And finally, the silver BBC DOCTOR WHO DW logo, which has been used since the release of Series 7: Part 1 on DVD/Blu-ray.
The latest version in The Snowmen is not a new logo, it is simply the latest titlecard.
- I mostly agree with you. But both Series 7 logos, although the same font as from Series 5 and 6, do not feature the DW TARDIS logo in the middle. I think just that qualifies it as a new logo. It's a different logo with the same font that's all. And the 7 Part 2 logo introduced in The Snowmen is the latest version of the Series 7 logo.
- While I do agree that logos 9 and 10 are really just 2 versions of 9, I can see where whoever put it there was going:
- If you look through the article, it seems that every Doctor had their own logo, also meaning that each logo number also corresponded with the Doctor number. While Tennant did get a change in the logo, he didn't technically get a new logo, just a variation of the previous one. It definitely is more pleasing to the eye and to some perfectionism who wrote the title for that section. SmallerOnTheOutside ☎ 21:42, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

upload logo 10; 2.3 Expansion[]
Somebody should upload logo 10 . I know it is on the wiki because I have seen it on other pages of the wiki. I can not because I am to young .
The link to the font guide by andrew orton is gone. This article covers the title fonts well but is there an archive of the image for those interested in the credits fonts? 114.30.107.41talk to me 10:28, November 17, 2013 (UTC)
