2010 Doctor Who Logo Unveiled



Well, the new Doctor Who logo for 2010 has been revealed and it looks quite different. There is some similarity with the logo used during Jon Pertwee's era of the show (1970-1973) but the new 'motif' part is quite good.

Or at least I think it is.

Download the new logo as a wallpaper here.

Not much has been happening recently except that I have won the lottery!

Some things to consider which really highlight the scam:
  1. Microsoft & Yahoo working together - not likely.
  2. Microsoft Windows is not a company.
  3. If this is a UK-based lottery that I have won, why do I need to tell them which country I live in?
  4. Why do they need to know my marital status, job & company I work for?
  5. MSN Lottery Prize? The name of this thing keeps changing the further down the email I read.
  6. And finally, the email address: why is a Microsoft/Yahoo lottery claim not sent to a Microsoft or Yahoo email address?>
This smacks of Identity Theft to me...

Which Doctor Are You?

Your closest match is the Sixth Doctor

Stubborn, egotistical and always out to get your own way, you're quite clearly the Sixth Doctor, portrayed by the noble-browed, firm-mouthed Colin Baker.

Like him, you're a sort of 'knight errant' of everyday life, fiercely competitive and not averse to dealing out a beating to your enemies. OK, so your friends sometimes think you’re obnoxious – you are you, whether they like it or not!


Which Doctor are you?
