A promo trailer for the new series of The Fall on BBC 2's Facebook page has the two main actors sitting in front of a BBC TWO logo, guess which logo it is...?

The 2001 logo, which introduced the personality '2's. Quite frankly the Sun also hasn't changed the BBC Two logo on its listings!

They're also using the older '2' in the style of the 2007 'window' at the beginning of this promo.

There is so much potential in these ideas - they could have made a new ident set out of them once refined.

It feels as if it's a new pres package, with some nice ideas brought in.

However it feels unlikely for the foreseeable future that BBC Two will change up some aspects of its pres - even if some of what Network has made look like monstrosities. I won't be surprised if Christmas idents get butchered overnight by the Network.

So they can do all that for one theme night yet have to use 20 year old idents the rest of the time.

Reminds me of the "A Perfect Christmas" idents from 1991.

Any videos?

They were, in effect, multiple stings back-to-back. I doubt they would cost that much to make, compared to a whole set of idents proper.

They were also using the newer shaped 2 so I wasn't a fan! If they used the old shape and made some of these longer, they could work. The Space Invaders one especially.

Didn't think it was worthy of a new thread, so I thought it best to post on this. Nothing exciting

DigitalSpy did a little feature on idents for BBC 1, 2 & 3; some old ITV regions, and Channel 4 http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/feature/a810296/best-tv-idents-of-all-time-thames-television-tune-to-bbc-twos-fluffy-2/

Most of the choices there are great, including the Balloon, '2' 90s idents, C4's 2004 pres and the Blobs for Three.

Some though, are questionable - BBC Two's 1986 branding made the channel look 'dull and worthy' in the eyes of many and Rhythm & Movement was derided by many viewers. Why not put the COW instead?
