Let's hope this isn't a Sign...

One of the traditions of the Dr. Who universe, along with regenerating doctors and ever changing companions, is that as times and tastes change, so does the logo. as a matter of fact, there have been nearly as many logos over the years as there have been doctors. And today, the BBC unveiled the latest iteration of the logo, to accompany the new era of Matt Smith and Steven Moffat...



Ummm... ok, first impression time... can I just say "Yuck"? Seriously, I think this is one of the fugliest logos the series has had. I'm sure someone thought the "DW" tardis was innovative, but everything about it, from the font to the purple coloring just seems so garish. It may grow on me, but my serious first reaction is reflected above: Let's hope this isn't a sign of things to come from the Grand Moff. Especially since we've also been promised a redesign of the TARDIS...

Of course, despite the new logo, there's definitely one good reason to be looking forward to the new series:
