Doctor Who has just received it's 12th logo for Series 11.

Well I quite like it, more so than the old one. I also like the new poster. I do not like the just the 'who' poster because that isn't what the show is called - however if there is to be a new focus on the who part of the Doctor then that for me is good.
I think that the logo looks quite cinematic, which makes sense as that's the way they want Series 11 to go. Radio Times looked in-depth with the logo and noted that the Venus symbol for women is at the end. If this is a deliberate action then I am annoyed. Don't rub it in our faces if this is meant to be a normal thing!
Interestingly some writers have confirmed that their scripts have been rejected by Chibnall. These two writers are Sarah Dollard and Jamie Mathieson. Mathieson has contributed to four scripts across Capaldi's three series and is the most prolific writer for Capaldi after Steven Moffat. Dollard has written two episodes, one in Series 9 and one in Series 10. This does come as a surprise as showrunners don't tend to scrap former writers (JNT being the only one). This means that five writers are not returning (Steven Moffat, Mark Gattiss and Toby Whithouse have already announced that they are retiring from the show). So the only writers left from the last writing team are Mike Barlett, Rona Munro and Peter Harness - we will have to see what happens to them. All the directors announced so far have also been new ones. A completely new year!
It isn't only these writers who have left us. Recently, Murray Gold has announced himself that he is leaving. This is the greatest lost so far in modern who as he is a fantastic composer. Mill, who have provided the special effects from Series 7 until Twice Upon a Time are also leaving us.
What is Chibnall going to bring this year?
