New DOCTOR WHO logo, set pics

There's been a lot of Doctor Who news today, with the previously noted K9 - The Series trailer, a new Doctor Who logo (click image below for a larger view), and a bunch of behind-the-scenes Flickr photos from Matt Smith's first episode as the Doctor. I'm told there are spoilers in the photo set, but I didn't notice anything too revealing... With the arguable exception of Karen Gillan's sexy police lady uniform with the micro-miniskirt.

Gotta say, I am not thrilled about the new Doctor Who logo. The semi-serif font looks a bit awkward, the big Tardis "DW" seems hokey and obvious, and the logo and the "DW" compete with each other too much, I'm not sure where to look first. But hey, after those Colin Baker-era, 1980s new wave nightmare titles we brought you the other day, I suppose anything else is a step up!

Wow. By bitching about the new Doctor Who titles, I think I've just exceeded my maximum daily allotment of geek. I'm gonna go ride a motorcycle or play hokey or something.
