I think that what I hate is the words and the symbol together. I could deal with one or the other.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

I adore the new theme.

You know, regardless of the reservations and issues I have about SGU, it still warms my geeky heart to think that DH is probably stepping through a Stargate RIGHT NOW. He'd better remember to take pictures.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Just the words "Doctor Who" aren't bad (that's actually the way I first saw it on my smaller screen here), but when you scroll over to see the DW in the shape of the Tardis, well, ew. If it was just the Tardis, I'd like it better, but the initials make it look weird.
Count me as a fan of the remixed music from S4, though! I love the added lower notes.

it still warms my geeky heart to think that DH is probably stepping through a Stargate RIGHT NOW.
I hope he returns.

Yeah, if he winds up on an Ancient ship travelling at FTL 7 million light-years from Earth, I'm gonna be PISSED.

Well, new Doctor, new logo, makes sense really. And as the Tardis is so instantly recognisible, it makes sense to use that too. I actually quite like the old-fashioned script they've used.
I didn't like the revised theme music. I know Murray Gold, the composer (was at university with him), and I was almost tempted to get in touch an tell him off. But of course I didn't in the end. He also composed Martha's Theme, so I think it balances out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, I really disliked the last two iterations of the logo--I didn't like the orange or the pointed oval plaque thingy, so I'm very glad of the redo. I'm most partial to the Peter Davison logo, but this works for me too.

Makes me wonder if they'll give the theme yet another rework too.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I literally said "what the fuck is that?" out loud when I saw it.
Me too. Doctor WTF.
as the Tardis is so instantly recognisible
...and yet, I didn't recognise it as being Tardis-shaped. Logo fail. Or maybe Me fail. Whatever.
