Hmmm. Not bad. The typeface could be more interesting.... Does it get animated?

No idea. I'm pretty underwhelmed, myself, and the lens flare is a bit naff. It's like they were trying to ape the Farscape logo and not quite succeeding.

It might grow on me, but I would be preferred the font be a bit chunkier, more substantial.

"the font be a bit chunkier, more substantial."

Yes. Needs to be heavier, possibly a bit edgier, maybe slightly irregular round the edges maybe. I see what you mean about Farscape (not that I watch it). If it animates, though, that might improve it.

Farscape

... that was my instant reaction to the logo also, it just seemed to shout "Farscape" at me, I think it is the tall thin fonts.

Of course if you fix the aspect ratio so that the ellipse is the circle it is meant to be ... <grin>

Looks like the Eye of Sauron to me.

that's what I was going to say as well. Too LoTR to me.

Haven't you wondered where the Doctor has been all these years? He's been held in the dungeons of Barad-dûr since the show was cancelled.

Escaped? Or was he let go?

You wanna write that?

Redone, slightly

And thereupon the door of the Tardis was thrown open with a great clang, and out of it there came an embassy from the Dark Tower.

At its head there strode a tall and sinister shape, wearing a dark scarf, if scarf it was; for it was of no fixed colour and and hideous, and its shape was a changing one, more like a living thing than clothing, and at the ends there burned flame. The wearer was robed all in black elsewise, and black was his hat; yet this was no Ringwraith but a Timelord. The Doctor he was, and his name is remembered in no tale; for he himself had forgotten it, and he said: 'I am the Mouth of Sauron. Would you like a jelly baby?"

Yeech! And Billie Piper as the companion? I'm getting less optimistic!

My boyfriend felt as unimpressed as you do (so do I). He showed it to a coworker last week, who said it 'looked like something a monkey did with Photoshop'.

Boo, I say. Boo.

Very earty childhood. I'm going to go die now.
