I don’t like it now. Why? Because the old symbol is so iconic to me. Maybe it is the sound of the T.A.R.D.I.S. alone that gets my heart to skipping that extra beat, but there has always been something about the orange eye that scrolls across the screen before showing the title DOCTOR WHO, something that tells me that I am in for a thrilling ride.

I watched the trailer for the upcoming 5th season of Doctor Who starring Matt Smith and it is exciting. Vampires, Daleks and Blink, oh my! Also seen very quickly in military fatigues is River Song – Maybe not professor yet… Her appearance in the 5th series is maybe the most exciting for me. Yes, I’m excited about the new season, but I’m not getting that good ol’ lovin’ feelin’ when I see this logo.

Do I hate it though? No. To be fair, the current logo and sound/song is revamped as well and I didn’t complain too much. And who knows, maybe the first episode with Matt Smith will be so spectacular that I can’t help be go all Pavlovian over the symbol. Of course, that is my hope, but for now, every change only solidifies the death that we have already experienced. That, I am not excited about.
