If such a national emergency occured, then I think the last thing on the mind of the one remaining network director in existence would be... 'what symbol shall I use to introduce this joint coverage?'
Indeed, and if there was something that big happening the channels would have been broadcasting continuing news hours ago so there'd be no need or any thought about any sort of branding

The day of Diana's death, presentation wise, will never be replicated. The commercial perception of the family ident is an interesting and probably justifiable reason over it not being an option anymore but was certainly a powerful image that morning.
And just to chip in, I too thought the ident was inappropriate. If the team were being forced to keep the Xmas pres, it should have at least been silent. Tonight's anno trying to sound serious over that tune was a waste of time.

I seem to remember 'BBC News' , being shown on a blank background when the queen mum died.
The Great Wave was not a well thought out title for the broadcast.
I must how professional all the journalists on location have been in what must be truly awfull scenes.
Full sympathy to anyone involved in this tradegy.
We are thinking of you all.

I don't know why the BBC don't have a generic ident for this kind of thing. A simple black background with text on it and the station logo in the corner, in this case the text saying BBC News Special.

True, but that one is still a lot more appropiate than bouncy toddlers if you ask me.
They're not toddlers. They're at least 8 years old! Those children on the snowflake ident in 2002 and 2003 were toddlers.

BBC Two didn't really make an attempt either. Just put on their normal ice cube ident.

This evening, in NI anyway, the intro to the news was done with a silent ident.
This seemed a tad more appropriate.

A tad more appropriate? That's so very mediocre!
I'm disappointed. This is a disaster of biblical proportions and this just isn't sufficiently respectful.
What would the BBC do if the Queen died? Or if some major disaster killed 125,000 of the English? Would we still see these kids on bouncing balls?
I'm not saying that all Christmas branding should be removed from the networks, but the presentation into the news does need to be a great deal more sombre and serious.
