DW doesn't relate to Doctor Who at all, they would have been better off using a question mark which would be much be in keeping with the character's legacy. yes, I agree.

And not only do fans not refer to the show as DW, but the 'abbreviation' actually contains more syllables (dee dub ul yew) than the name in full (doc tor hoo). Agreed.

Reading 'DW' in isolation (dee-double-u) is one step removed from the 'h' phonetic that begins the word 'who' (hoo). Ultimately, over time, this won't matter, as we'll get used to the image of the icon representing Doctor Who... but in the short term, it's lazy design.
