I have the fear with the BR packaging generally. If they do a brand refresh when the next Doctor comes in and enforce its use across everything like they did with Jodie's logo, we're going to end up with randomly placed different new series logos all over the spines for the classic series. The same logo across them all is fine regardless of what it is, but a mixture of new series logos would be awful.

That would be a great day and would right the wrong committed to the video range in 1996.
*STILL* angry!

Ah you reference the year when the crap logo was replaced by the BEST logo.

Pertwee or diamond would have made so much more sense on the Blu-rays. The Target books didn't follow the 13th Doctor logo policy. The only difference seems to be that the target books didn't come out during the initial 13th Doctor promo push.

The current style guide for licencees is for the one logo (ie the current telly one) to be used on all merchandise. Those Target books were a strange anomaly in that regard.

It looks crap on anything. Doesn't fit right. It's awful. A fucking rhombus hanging around at the sides of things like a fart in a trance By far superior in design standards is the Pertwee/McGann logo. Clear and simple yet bold design that looks good on anything seen from near or far. -Ralph

Exactly. As said, I reckon if they'd come out three years ago they'd all have been forced to use the current logo. Enough time has passed that the rules seem to have been relaxed.

I don't know if it's the clarity of the Blu Rays or what, but I've really noticed the number of signs in this story.

I didn't watch Mind of Evil because I was waiting for the BR. I've rewatched Autons in HD so I'll start Mind next week.
I'm still wondering how Jo managed to get into that sacrificial virgin gown when in the previous scene the cultists had tied her hands behind her back.

What. No Doctor Who for another 6 months??!!! -Ralph We have something planned for November when two new revised Blog entries will make their debut. If I can get my backside in gear I may revise a third. The remaining three Pertwee seasons are in the bag as is Davison 1. I've been stuck mid Arc of Infinity 4 for 18 months now unable to write what I need to finish it off and unable to go any further.
