Since the site redesign in 2012, several different banners have been created for the top of the page. The original banner was created for the new site and featured all eleven Doctors with a new logo for the society, based on the Series 5 Doctor Who logo.

For the 50th Anniversary Year in 2013, a modified version of this banner was created. This featured a new picture of the Eleventh Doctor from the second half of Series 7, the society logo being replaced with a new title using the font associated with the Series 7 credits, and a mention of the upcoming anniversary celebrations. It also featured a quote underneath the Doctors - in this case, Clara's line from The Name of the Doctor.

This banner evolved into a series featuring the Doctor's enemies and their associated catchphrases, which were randomly displayed on all pages except the homepage in the build-up to 23rd November. The first derivative featured the Master, with all six of his known forms; unlike the Doctors, there weren't featured in any chronological order, instead being arranged to suit the composition of the image.

Of course, there was also a variant featuring the various Daleks; uniquely among the banners, this also featured a font change to include the Dalek font, and the text at the top was changed to note that 2013 would also be 50 years since the first appearance of the Daleks. Featured are all the Dalek variants constituting a significant redesign, starting with a 60s Dalek (possibly from The Dalek Invasion of Earth), moving on through the 70s variant (also used as Renegade Daleks in the 80s - this one unfortunately had to be reversed for to fit the image) to the Imperial Dalek and Special Weapons Dalek from Remembrance of the Daleks. Flanking Davros (shown here from The Stolen Earth/Journey's End) are the Time War Dalek (from Dalek) and the recoloured New Paradigm Dalek from Asylum of the Daleks.

The other monsters to get their own banner were the Cybermen, featuring every variant from the original Mondasians from The Tenth Planet, through the 60s variants (taken from The Moonbase and The Wheel in Space) to the version seen in Revenge of the Cybermen, the 80s version (as seen in The Five Doctors), the modern Cybus Cybermen and finally the version introduced in Nightmare in Silver.

The remaining classic monsters were featured on one final banner; the images used tend towards the most recent version of a monster, since they have better quality costumes and higher resolution images, except where a significant redesign occurred (hence the inclusion of Silurians both old and new) or there is an old, iconic image of a monster (such as the Auton from Spearhead from Space). The featured monsters are: the Zygons (as seen in The Day of the Doctor, initially omitted to avoid spoilers), the Great Intelligence (from The Name of the Doctor and accompanied by a Whisperman), the Weeping Angels, a modern Silurian (from The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood), the Ice Warriors (from Cold War), the Time Lords (represented by Rassilon from The End of Time), the Silence (from Series 6), the Sontarans (from The Sontaran Stratagem/The Poison Sky), an original Silurian from the eponymous serial, Omega (from The Three Doctors), the Autons, and the Sea Devils (also from their eponymous story). The quote used underneath is from the Second Doctor in The Moonbase, and continues "Things which act against everything we believe in. They must be fought."

The end of the Anniversary celebrations brought with it several revelations about the Doctor, and a new banner was created, this one featuring all thirteen Doctors seen in The Day of the Doctor. A derivation of the pre-Anniversary banner, the bottom quote was replaced with one from the special, and several other changes were made. Firstly, the War Doctor was included following his acknowledgement at the end of The Day of the Doctor; this had the knock-on effect of swapping the Ninth and Tenth Doctors to maintain the alternation pattern. The Ninth Doctor's image was simply flipped (having been flipped in the first place for the original banner), while the picture of the Tenth Doctor was completely replaced due to dissatisfaction with the original. Meanwhile, the image of the Eighth Doctor was replaced by one of his most recent appearance in The Night of the Doctor; the only available picture of Peter Capaldi's Doctor was of his eyes from the saving of Gallifrey, and these were placed behind the Eleventh Doctor to signify his looming presence. Finally, a regenerative glow was laid over the background, both to help with blending in Peter Capaldi's eyes, and to generally represent the Doctor's regenerations, past and future.

In early 2014, a publicity shot of Peter Capaldi in costume was finally released, allowing for a shot of the new Doctor that shows more than just his eyes; with this in mind, one more iteration of the banner was created, this time replacing Capaldi's eyes from the background with a proper image of the Twelfth Doctor. For the first time since these banners were first created, Matt Smith moved out of the spotlight, with the Eleventh Doctor moving off to the right to join the Ninth and the other Doctors in that alternating line, and the various incarnations of the Doctor on both sides of the banner were moved out slightly to create space for the latest from among their number. The regenerative glow in the background was kept, but the quote was changed to the Fifth Doctor's line from Castrovalva about regeneration. The text at the top was also changed slightly to acknowledge that the fiftieth anniversary was truly behind us.

With the departure of Peter Capaldi and arrival of Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor at the end of 2017, a new series of banners was designed by Sam Sheppard. Each banner features one of the Doctors (including The War Doctor and The Fugitive Doctor), along with a memorable quote by that incarnation and an enemy strongly associated with them. The background and colour scheme is based upon the opening credits used during that Doctor's tenure (where applicable). These banners also exist as bookmarks which we give away at Freshers Fair as freebies!

The First Doctor (William Hartnell) appears with a Mondasian Cyberman (from The Tenth Planet) and a quote from The Daleks' Master Plan.

The Second Doctor (Patrick Troughton) is accompanied by an Ice Warrior (from The Ice Warriors), along with a quote from The Tomb of the Cybermen.

The Third Doctor (John Pertwee) appears next to the Master (as portrayed by Roger Delgado between 1971 and 1973) and a quote from The Time Warrior.

The Fourth Doctor's (Tom Baker) banner features a Zygon (from Terror of the Zygons) and has a quote from his debut serial, Robot.

The Fifth Doctor (Peter Davison), meanwhile, appears with both a Cyberman and a quote from Earthshock.

The Sixth Doctor (Colin Baker) appears alongside Davros (from Revelation of the Daleks) while the quote is taken from Attack of the Cybermen.

The Seventh Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) appears with an Imperial Dalek (from Remembrance of the Daleks) and a quote from The Happiness Patrol.

(In 2021, the text colour was changed from purple to lilac to improve legibility. The original banner appears below.)

The Eighth Doctor's quote is taken from Storm Warning, the Big Finish audio drama which featured Paul McGann's first return to the role after the television movie. Behind him is the Master, as portrayed by Alex Macqueen in various Big Finish productions.

The War Doctor (John Hurt) appears with a Time War-era Dalek and a quote taken from Day of the Doctor.

The Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) also appears with a Dalek (specifically, the Dalek from Dalek), as well as his final words before regenerating in The Parting of the Ways.

The Tenth Doctor (David Tennant) appears alongside a Sontaran (from The Sontaran Stratagem/The Poison Sky) and a quote from The Lazarus Experiment.

(An updated version of this banner was commissioned in 2021. The previous version is displayed below.)

The Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) is shown removing his bow-tie in his banner, which includes his final words before regenerating at the end of Time of the Doctor. Behind him, a Weeping Angel can be seen.

The Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi) appears with The Veil (from Heaven Sent) just behind him, while his quote is taken from The Doctor Falls.

The Thirteenth Doctor's (Jodie Whittaker) banner has actually regenerated over the past few years! Her first banner not only included her predecessor's final words before regenerating in Twice Upon a Time, but also her first words upon seeing her newest face.

Following the conclusion of Series 11 in 2019, the Thirteenth Doctor received a new banner featuring the Dalek from Resolution and a quote from The Woman Who Fell To Earth.

Shortly after the broadcast of Series 12's finale in 2020, the Thirteenth Doctor's banner was updated with a more recent quote from The Haunting of Villa Diodati and the Dalek was replaced with the newest incarnation of the Master, as portrayed by Sacha Dhawan.

In late 2020, a special banner was commissioned to celebrate Jo Martin's portrayal of the Fugitive Doctor. A Judoon and The Lighthouse (both from Fugitive of the Judoon) appear in the background, while her quote is taken from The Timeless Children.

With the 60th anniversary and Series 14 on the horizon, two additional banners were commissioned in August 2023 to celebrate both new Doctors. First, we have the Fourteenth Doctor (played by David Tennant again), appearing with a mysterious villain portrayed by Neil Patrick Harris and a quote from the teaser trailer for the 60th Anniverary Specials.

Secondly, we have a special banner welcoming Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor. We hope to update this banner once his first series premieres in 2024!

The mobile version of this website (now obsolete) presented its own challenges. In designing for a smaller screen, it was found that the banner looked too small and cramped, and the text was illegible. To help with this, a series was designed with a simpler format: one image of the Doctor from the classic series, along with larger text, in a ratio better suited to mobile phone screens.
