It is a depiction of the Rod of Asclepius, not to be confused with the caduceus. In Greek mythology Asclepius was the son of Apollo and a practitioner of medicine. Hippocrates (the father of medicine) was a worshiper of Asclepius.

The use of the caduceus (double serpent entwining a staff surmounted by wings and carried by Hermes) is often used erroneously, especially by military medics and some civilian organisations, because of the confusion between the meaning of it and the Rod of Asclepius.

The logo of a doctor featuring a snake wrapped around a staff is called the Rod of Asclepius, which originates from Greek mythology. Asclepius was the god of healing and medicine, and the snake symbolizes renewal and healing due to its shedding of skin. This symbol has been associated with medicine and healthcare for centuries.

What will the new Doctor Who logo look like?

This year's Doctor Who logo is a bright, shiny blue, and the words 'Doctor' and 'Who' have been separated by a 'D' and a 'W' that is shaped like the TARDIS. Sometimes the logo is in different formats, such as the 'Doctor' and 'Who' on top of each other, while the 'D' and 'W' shaped TARDIS on the right next to them. There is also the beginning credits, where the logo is shiny silver. At the end of each episode there is always the 'D' and 'W' shaped TARDIS on its own, but the regular format is the first one, its just the positioning that moves about a bit, so nothing much changes.
