Fixing the Internet's Shortcomings

I wanted to show this to someone the other day, and I quickly found that google could not find me a copy of it.

When the logo for the new Doctor Who series was first announced, there were a lot of complaints that it was "clearly" an attempt to capitalize on the Lord of the Rings franchise by making a logo that could not possibly be anything other than a rip-off of the eye of Sauron.

Now, as it turned out, in context it looks almost nothing at all like the eye of Sauron, so the naysayers were wrong. All the same, I don't find this logo all that great, certainly not as good as the logo used by the 1996 TV Movie:

But what seems to be very hard to locate on the internet is the newest Doctor Who logo. It was done by the Scifi channel, and only appears on their commerials. It's a shame, because check this out. It's a really cool logo.

And now, it's on the internet for all to find

Wow, that's pretty cool. Very retro looking (the silhouetted person is very 70s British television)
